Trust between strangers

Getting into a car with someone you have never met is a big ask. BlaBlaCar makes it reasonable with visible signals: verified phone and email, a verified ID badge, a profile photo, ratings and reviews from past trips, and a short bio. Drivers accept passengers, and passengers choose drivers, largely by looking at those signals.

A verified phone is one of the first signals on a profile. A new profile with no ratings and a number that disappears after a week gives the other person little reason to accept you.

People most often use one of our numbers for BlaBlaCar to:

• Verifying a profile to look at routes and prices before committing your own number

Many apps expect the number you keep. We help with the cases above; we do not help anyone reach an account that is not theirs — see our acceptable use policy.

The number matters most on the trip day

Most coordination happens in the app's messages, but on the day, plans change: traffic, a meeting point that is hard to find, a train running late. Driver and passenger then call or text each other on the numbers in their profiles.

A number that has expired between booking and departure turns a small delay into a missed ride. For any booked trip, the number on your profile must work until you arrive.

The verified ID badge

BlaBlaCar lets members verify their identity with an official document, which adds a badge to the profile. In some countries and for some features, verification is expected or required. It is tied to your document, so no phone number can supply it, and it reassures the other person far more than a number does.

Keep messages and payment in the app

Where BlaBlaCar handles payment online, paying through the app protects both sides. The driver is paid after the trip, and BlaBlaCar can step in if the ride is cancelled or does not happen. Drivers who ask for a deposit by bank transfer, or who want to move the conversation off the app before booking, are showing a common pattern in carpooling scams.

Keeping messages in the app also means there is a record if something goes wrong.

For drivers

Drivers publishing rides are trusted with passengers' safety, so a complete, verified profile matters even more. A reachable number, a verified ID and accurate car details help passengers feel confident. They also help BlaBlaCar reach you if there is a problem with a booking.

Safety habits

Share your trip details with a friend, check the car and driver match the profile, and trust your instincts at the meeting point. If anything feels wrong, do not get in. Report problems through the app, which also covers reviews that warn other members.

Installing BlaBlaCar and verifying the number

When the code does not arrive

In order of how often each one is the real cause:

1. The code did not arrive
   Check the country code, wait, and request once more.
2. Drivers decline your requests
   Complete your profile with a photo, verified ID and a short bio.
3. You cannot reach the driver on the day
   Use in-app messages, and check that the numbers on both profiles are current.
4. A driver asks for payment outside the app
   Decline, and report it if the trip is meant to be paid online.
5. The ride did not happen
   Report it in the app for support and any refund due.

Working out which case you are in

1. Will you book a trip soon? Yes Use a number that works on the trip day. No A rented number can cover browsing.
2. Is your ID verified? Yes Drivers see the badge. No Verify it to be accepted more easily.
3. Is payment handled in the app on this route? Yes Pay there only. No Agree the price in the app messages.
4. Did the driver ask for a code or a transfer? Yes Decline and report it. No Enjoy the ride.
