Have you ever landed at the airport and had to wait forever for it to be your turn for a taxi? Have you ever stood at the curb on a street trying to flag down a cab? Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to get a lift, doubly so when you just finished a long day of flying. Airport transfers, hotel busses, and cabs aren’t always the most reliable way to get around. canadian-highway-motor-home-travel-tip

Stay Notified

You will receive two notifications for each ride that you book and they will arrive on the day of the ride. An email and text message will be sent to let you know that your car is on its way and another email and text message will be sent when your driver and car is at your pickup location. You never need to worry about being charged more if your driver is early, because the time starts at the time that you booked. Every ride that you book conveniently includes a fifteen-minute waiting time for standard pickups and an hour waiting time if you are being picked up at the airport. Blacklane even tracks arrivals of trains and airplanes, so the drivers will know if you will be getting in ahead of schedule or if you will be later than anticipated. This ensures that your driver will be there waiting as soon as you arrive. blacklane-canada

150 Things To Do In Canada

I'm pleased to announce my first ebook is available on Amazon Kindle. In honour of Canada's 150th Anniversary, I wanted to highlight my favourite things to do in each province and territory across Canada.

This ebook is super affordable as this is my first attempt at an ebook, and I'm hoping it will encourage people to flip through it before their summer travels across Canada. Please leave a positive review if you find it useful! I'm pulling late nights at the moment working on another ebook which is set to release before summer. Stay tuned!
