How to use the widgets?
If your organization would like to promote car sharing as an economical & practical transport alternative, BlaBlaCar offers two free widgets that you will find valuable.
Find a ride – Passenger widget
Here is the HTML code to insert on your website:
<iframe src="//www.blablacar.fr/widget/EN_WIDGET_PSGR" style="border:0px; padding:0px;" width="180px" height="270px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
This widget is ideal if your audience are not coming to your venue in their own car, and are looking for an affordable travel alternative. For example, you can display it on your “How to get here” page, it will allow your visitors to find a ride in one click and save on travel (the cost of a trip in a car share is 76% less than a train).
Try it out here, just type in arrival & destination towns and click!
Publish a ride - Driver widget
<iframe src="//www.blablacar.com/widget-driver/EN_WIDGET_DRVR" style="border:0px; padding:0px;" width="180px" height="270px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
This widget displays a publication form to allow your users to offer a ride quickly.
How to customize BlaBlaCar widgets?
You can customize both widgets by manually adding the departure and arrival cities in the HTML code:

Destination city:
?to=FFF

?from=XXX&to=FFF

Who can use the BlaBlaCar widgets?
Anyone can use these widgets, and they are completely free. They would be very useful to organisations and venues that attract numerous visitors such as universities, festivals, tourist destinations, city councils…
Why promote car sharing?
Providing a car sharing widget on your site is a practical, added-value service that your audience will appreciate, but it’s also a positive sign of your active environmental engagement. So, encouraging your audience to car share is a great idea, for your organisation, for your audience and for the planet!
