Addison Lee Launches Global Business Transport Platform
The international ground transport service now covers more than 40 business travel destinations across four regions.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Business Travel
Addison Lee has launched an international ground transport platform spanning more than 40 business travel destinations across the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. UK customers can book private hire, taxi, and executive car services in destinations including New York, Paris, and Singapore through the app, website, or contact centre.
Why it matters
The platform aims to reduce the complexity of arranging ground transport across international trips, a pain point for business travellers who often rely on multiple providers. Research commissioned by Addison Lee found 52% of international business travellers travelled more frequently over the past year.
Travellers lose an average of 39 working hours a year to unproductive transit time, and four in five rely on multiple providers to organise one international journey. The survey's sample size and methodology were not disclosed in the source material.
The players
Addison Lee
A London-based private hire and ground transport company that operates as the platform's originator and primary booking provider.
ComfortDelGro Group
A Singapore-headquartered transport group whose fleets in markets such as Singapore and Australia supply vehicles for the platform.
The details
The platform draws on ComfortDelGro Group fleets in markets including Singapore and Australia and operates through a network of international partners selected against Addison Lee's service quality, reliability, and professionalism standards. Further locations are due to go live.

Market Landscape
The launch extends Addison Lee's domestic UK private hire model into overseas markets, positioning the company against global ground transport providers. It reflects a broader industry move toward consolidating fragmented international transport arrangements into single platforms for corporate travellers.
Business travellers booking overseas ground transport can now use a single platform across more than 40 destinations rather than piecing together multiple providers. Bookings are available through the Addison Lee app, website, or contact centre.
The takeaway
Consolidating ground transport into one booking channel can cut time spent arranging trips, which matters when business travellers lose an average of 39 working hours a year to transit. Checking whether a provider covers your destination before you fly can save planning effort.
