Ratings and reviews

It is horrible since the changes made 2-3 years ago in the searching algorithm. I can't find any ride anymore. Horrible. When I joined 10 years ago it was working awesome. You typed in the name of the city you wished to departure from and the destination and then you got an overview of a range of around 100km with the possible rides. That way it was possible to contact the driver and make an agreement about the best pick up place. Now I have to try different start cities to find the ride...

Generally good. However, it doesn't work in Brasil. Often, drivers cancel their rides last minute because they found someone willing to pay more for the ride. They keep the passengers WhatsApps and communicate outside the app and who's taking a shorter ride always stays careless in the very last minute. There should be an option for reviewing or penalising drivers AND riders who cancel. I understand change of plans, but it seems that EVERYONE changes their mind in Brasil.

It's an app that intrudes very much in the privacy and the conversations of its users. I understand some basic level of control of the conversations - but it became ridiculous now - where they block/delete almost every message that they deem "not appropriate" or any number they see in the message, even if it's a phone number needed to communicate more easily. Straight to communism.

What's new

In this version of BlaBlaCar, we've made a few tweaks and done a bit of fine-tuning to make the app even easier to use!
