Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app for a month now. Have to say that I love the concept. You get to ride with good people in excellent cars. Very comfortable journeys. 2 things to note - 1) Always see the details of the car and person when you book. Always confirm the booking with the owner. 2) Never pay the amount in advance. Thankfully the app highlights this point in red whenever you book. That helps!

Awesome idea, however too many rides are being cancelled and too many rides are being cancelled at the last minute without any proper way of penalising these irresponsible drivers. The only thing is that they're shown as "cancels rides frequently" etc, which I don't think is a "punishment" enough. So, many times it's an unreliable source of traveling. Other than that, a nice and clean UX.

It used to be a useful app, however, since they've introduced the fees, it's became really annoying. People book with the driver in private, without paying the fees. Drivers leave the trip as "available" and when you text them they say it's full and they can't take you. Then cancel the trip, right? It's happened too many times lately and I've decide to stop using the app as it's a waste of time, basically, 90% of the trips that show are not available.🙄

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!
