Black Car
Also known as: executive car service, black car service
Black car service refers to pre-booked, chauffeur-driven transportation in a premium sedan or SUV, typically serving corporate and executive travel rather than casual or hailed trips.
The term originates from the dark-coloured luxury sedans traditionally used. Black car work is characterised by advance reservations, account billing, and a higher service standard than taxi or standard rideshare.
