OTA bookings for chauffeur companies
Online travel agencies bring travellers who are already booking a trip. Each one sells something different, so the work is putting the right product on the right platform at a price that still pays.
Three kinds of OTA
The traveller buys the day
A coast drive with planned stops, a golf day or a distillery trip, where the trip itself is the product.
The traveller buys the ride
The ride from the airport to the hotel or between cities, booked before the traveller lands.
Their client, your car
Rides for Blacklane’s own customers, driven by your company to Blacklane’s standards.
What goes where
GetYourGuide restricts “
non-experiential transfers, focused solely on getting travelers from point A to B using a standard vehicle”, so a plain airport run belongs on a transfer platform.

What is left of one booking
An OTA booking is worth what is left after the platform’s share and the cost of the trip. Try your own numbers against what a direct booking from Google Ads cost Irish Transfer.
The sliders start from Irish Transfer: €67 is what a booking from Google Ads cost from June to August 2026.
marketplace: price − platform commission − cost of the trip
direct: price − cost of the trip − cost of winning the booking
If the figure is thin, a product can still be worth listing for the bookings it fills on quiet days, as long as that is a decision made on purpose.
Our fee starts at €2,000 a month, with no setup fee, and the plan behind these numbers is part of the proposal.

Some let you set the price, others show what you earn up front, and payouts run from weekly to monthly.

How we run it
We choose the platforms that fit your products and fleet, then keep listings and prices in step with your website, so OTA bookings are counted next to direct ones in the same monthly report.

Questions
Start from what you sell: airport transfers fit transfer platforms such as Kiwitaxi, Transferz or Mozio, while day tours and golf days fit Viator and GetYourGuide. Irish Transfer started with an airport transfer on Viator, and touring and golf days are the next products to list.
Usually not, because GetYourGuide restricts transfers whose only purpose is getting travellers from A to B in a standard vehicle. A private day tour with planned stops is a different product and fits better.
Viator charges a one-time fee of 29 US dollars for every experience you submit. GetYourGuide says listing costs nothing, Transferz says joining is free and Kiwitaxi says it charges no commission.
Some platforms ask for it: Mozio requires its tracking system on every ride and Daytrip has its own free driver app, so drivers may carry a second app next to your booking system.
It depends on your fleet and how full your week already is. Blacklane works only with insured, existing chauffeur companies, sets vehicle rules for each city and sends rides for its own customers, so we add it only if you want it.
