How to book ride-sharing trips?

Shared rides, or carpooling, allow drivers to offer available seats in their car for up to 4 passengers, making it possible to split fuel costs.

At BuscaOnibus, this service is provided through our partner, BlaBlaCar, which sets a maximum price that drivers can charge per trip. The focus is on cost-sharing, not profit. Shared rides can be for both short and long-distance trips.

How to book a ride with BlaBlaCar?

  1. Find your ride on BuscaOnibus: Use our platform to search for shared rides by entering your departure point, destination, and travel date.
  2. Click “Reserve”: Once you find a suitable ride, click “Reserve” to be redirected to BlaBlaCar’s website.
  3. Check the details: On BlaBlaCar, you’ll be able to see:
    • The route, departure time, and estimated arrival;
    • The price per passenger;
    • Pick-up and drop-off locations;
    • The driver’s profile and ratings from other passengers;
  4. Confirm your booking: Fill out your personal information directly on BlaBlaCar’s site to secure your seat.

What if I need to cancel a reserved ride?

If you can’t make your trip, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the “Reservations” section in your BlaBlaCar profile.
  2. Cancel your ride directly on their platform.
  3. It’s a good idea to also send a message to the driver, letting them know you won’t be joining the trip.

Important notes

  • BuscaOnibus only redirects you to BlaBlaCar’s website. We don’t handle bookings or cancellations for shared rides.
  • Always double-check the ride details, such as pick-up points and times, to ensure a smooth travel experience.
