Searching for trips in a foreign country, I'm confused.

7 Upvotes

I installed the app recently (3 months ago) never used it before.

I know that the driver post the rides only 3 days in advance, but I'm confused about one thing.

I'm in Croatia now and I'll be needing a car ride from Málaga to Almería (they are cca. 2:20 hours apart) in November. So I been "test-searching" rides just 2-3 days in advance, since I got the app and there was never not 1 result; 0 rides every day. Why? Do I have to be in Spain to search the ride there?

I'm asking bc in one travel group I was searching for buses and one guy (from Spain) recomnended BlaBlaCar and sent a screenshot of the app and the route so I would know how it looks like and there was lots of offers of rides and drivers. Why can't I see that from here, from Croatia?

Also, for example, when I search rides for Belgrade, Serbia which is another country, I get many results. Serbia is much closer to Croatia then Spain of course, but it's still another country.

Can someone please explain to me why is that and what should I do?

I already have the bus tickets so I'm sure that the bus will come and drive me and the wheelchair, but it takes cca. 1:30 hours more then the car and it also costs more. I would love to give BlaBlaCar a try.

Tnx for help!😊

Fin de Blablabus

3 Upvotes

⚠️ Attention voyageurs ! BlaBlaBus s'arrête en fin d'année, et leur manière de traiter les clients avant de partir est révoltante.

Suite à une erreur de réservation, aucun remboursement : on vous impose un bon d'achat. Pire encore, alors que leurs conditions indiquent 1 an de validité, le service client m'annonce discrètement que mon bon expirera le 31/12/2026 à cause de leur fermeture.

Résultat : mon bon perd plusieurs mois de validité. C'est du pur business sans scrupule pour remplir les tiroirs-caisses avant de baisser le rideau, en nous laissant des bons inutilisables.

Une fin de service client absolument déplorable. À éviter pour vos derniers trajets !

Racisme dans les Blablacar

3 Upvotes

Récemment je me suis posé une question, ça fait quelque année déjà que je prends des Blablacars pour rentrer dans ma ville natale pour voir ma famille car je fais mes études dans une autre ville.

J’avais une question à vous poser avez vous déjà été victime de racisme ou toute autre sorte de discrimination ( je suis métisse ) car je n’ai jamais eu la malchance que ça m’arrive et je voulais avoir vos expériences personnelles 😁.

First time BlaBlaCar driver and received a wired reservation

3 Upvotes

Hello Reddit, this is my first Reddit post and if I violated any rules of any society I don’t mean it, and please don’t hesitate to let me know.

So I just published my first BlaBlaCar route as a driver and I received a reservation. The person told me made a reservation for 2 people and asked me information about my travel plan. Everything seemed normal, until he told me that he was making this reservation for two other people, he himself actually wouldn’t be in this reservation, and the two passengers don’t really speak languages that I know. I don’t feel good about this reservation, because the real passengers’ info are not even registered on BlaBlaCar and I guess it can be very complicated if anything exceptional happens.

As this is the first time I use BlaBlaCar, I wander if this is a regular scenario, do the users of BlaBlaCar usually make reservation for else? Most importantly, will there be any concern in terms of contract and security if a accept a such reservation? Is there anything that I should pay attention?

Blablacar app, USA traveler in Europe

3 Upvotes

I am a traveler from the USA, and really like using blablacar as I travel through Europe. I have an Android, and when I try to download the blablacar app from the Google play store it says the app isn't available in my country; is there any way around this? It would be much more efficient for me to use the app instead.

Blablacar daily - not supported in my country, will it work in France?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I tried downloading Blablacar app for my trip to France and if I look for some routes in France on Google for example, some Blablacar suggestions pop up there, but it redirects me to the App store to Blablacar daily (I believe) which is not supported in my country. I can only download Blablacar with like zero offers, only buses appear there.
Do you think I'll be able to download the "daily" one once I land in France? Thanks

So many new, unrated profiles for rides in Mexico. Any idea why?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

When looking for a ride between Mexican cities (i.e. Guadalajara & Mexico city) I see many many newly created profiles with no ratings offering rides. I even once saw two of them having the exact same profile picture with different names. Of course, I don't trust that one bit and only go for rated & verified profiles. These are however rare.

Any idea what is going on? Are these private transport companies doing their thing? Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you and have a nice day!

Vermeintlicher Malus "Storniert öfter Fahrten" bei BlaBlaCar

1 Upvotes

Eine Frage an die hier versammelten Blablacar-Kenner: Kann mir jemand sagen, wann der Dienst eine Fahrtstornierung (eigentlich: Inseratsstornierung) als Malus für den betreffenden Fahrer vermerkt? Erst wenn schon jemand gebucht hat oder auch schon, wenn noch niemand gebucht hat? Hintergrund meiner Frage: Ich habe (als Fahrer) ein Inserat erstellt und erst als es online war, gemerkt, dass es fehlerhaft ist. Es nachträglich so zu bearbeiten, dass es passt, ist mir aber dank der schlechten Usability von Website/App nicht gelungen. Also habe ich mein Inserat kurze Zeit nach Veröffentlichung wieder gelöscht (ergo: Fahrt storniert). Gebucht hatte zu dem Zeitpunkt noch niemand.
