How it works

How it works

Discover how Europe Carpooling works, from finding a ride to arriving at your destination.

Browse available rides

As a visitor, you can freely browse all carpooling offers available on Find a ride, without needing to sign up first. To make the most of all the platform's features (booking, messaging), creating an account is required.

Create your account

Create your account in just a few moments. Two verification steps are required to validate your profile:

1. Activate your email address by clicking the link we send you.

2. Confirm your phone number using the code you receive by SMS.

These checks strengthen trust and safety within our community. Feel free to also complete your profile with your travel preferences and a short personal description.

Booking a ride as a passenger

Once you've found your ride, book your seat directly online: payment is processed securely at the time of booking. Your driver is immediately notified by email and SMS. On the day of the trip, simply meet at the agreed pick-up point at the agreed time.

If you have a question before departure, you can message your driver at any time via your account's messaging system.

Offering a ride as a driver

Got empty seats in your car? Offer your ride by entering the date, time, route and price per passenger. If you make the same trip regularly, you can also set up recurring rides.

Your passengers book and pay online, with full transparency. You receive a notification by email and SMS for every new booking, and can message your passengers directly to finalise the details of the trip.

An experience built on trust

Every step of this journey — profile verification, secure payment, easy communication — has been designed to give you a hassle-free carpooling experience. Discover more about our commitment to trust and safety.
