Ratings and reviews

Very good idea and great alternative to public transportation. The issue is getting drivers that take advantage of it. You can run risk of being left in the middle of no where or drivers taking advantage of the app for a few extra euros. So be conscious of what you get when making reservations on the app.

The service itself is good, but the app has terrible usability. It never remembers my login nor payment information. Searching often finds nothing, although when you change the cities you see many trips going through the cities you chose first. If you use a vpn, the app will suddenly popup every couple of seconds, even when it's closed, and ask you to do a captcha. Is it trying to connect in the background all the time? That's unacceptable.

The App has a lot of users, which is why i use it (more car rides available). However, there is a few things that I'd change: 1. If the person that offers a ride cancels the ride last minute, there is no possibility to review them. I made a lot of unpleasent experiences, that could've been prevented by being able to see ALL the reviews a person gets, not only from those that made it successfully into their car. 2. The last minute cancellation should be free for everyone.

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!
