Get ready, Austin! A new rideshare service that’s taking the safety world by storm is about to hit the streets of Texas. Meet BlackWolf, a service that aims to offer more than just a ride—it offers peace of mind to passengers. With its unique twist of providing armed drivers, BlackWolf is ready to shake up the rideshare game in Austin, Dallas, and Houston.
Launched in Atlanta in 2023, BlackWolf quickly gained popularity on social media and has expanded to operate in 11 cities across three states. The driving force behind this innovative service is Kerry KingBrown, whose inspiration stemmed from a very personal tragedy: a friend’s experience with sex trafficking. This dire event pushed him to create a platform dedicated to protecting people and preventing exploitation, leading to the birth of BlackWolf.
The company promises a safe and secure riding experience while offering three different tiers of rides. Each ride is accompanied by drivers boasting at least four years of experience in law enforcement, military, or the security sector. And for those wanting to feel even more secure, the “BlackWolf Armed” ride provides an additional layer of safety—drivers in this tier hold an active security license in their state.
So, what can you expect when you call for a ride with BlackWolf? Each tier comes with a level of service designed to meet various needs:
This tier system allows riders to choose what suits them best—whether they need an armed guard or a comfortable ride home after a late-night outing. All drivers undergo a thorough screening process to ensure they meet the company’s rigorous standards, allowing riders to sit back, relax, and feel safe during their journey.
Feeling like you’ve got what it takes to be a BlackWolf driver? The company is currently looking for qualified candidates! Interested individuals can visit the “drive” section on the BlackWolf website to apply. However, it’s not as simple as just signing up; potential drivers will need to pass stringent background checks to make sure they meet the high standards set by the service. Plus, there are specific vehicle requirements to comply with for each ride tier, ensuring riders experience nothing but the best on their journey.
BlackWolf has big aspirations for the Lone Star State, aiming to launch in Austin, Dallas, and Houston in early 2025. The company’s commitment to public safety is at the forefront of its mission, and they plan to bring that ethos to Texas in a big way.
With its unique approach and focus on safety, BlackWolf is set to take the ridesharing world by storm. Whether you’re heading out for a night on the town or just need a ride to the office, having an armed driver might just be the comforting option you never knew you needed. So stay tuned, Austin! Big changes are coming your way, and they just might keep you a little safer on your travels.
