Casablanca, Morocco – June 25, 2026 – BlaBlaCar, the world’s leading carpooling platform with 30 million annual active members, announces its launch in Morocco. This expansion marks the company’s first presence in North Africa and is part of a broader growth strategy that brings BlaBlaCar’s global footprint to 41 countries. The platform is also available in countries including France, Spain, Brazil, India and Mexico.Morocco represents a particularly relevant market for carpooling, with strong intercity travel demand between major urban centers such as Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Tangier and Fes. As economic activity and domestic mobility continue to grow, travelers are increasingly looking for affordable and flexible transport options for medium and long distance journeys.The platform connects private drivers who have available seats on planned intercity journeys with passengers traveling to the same destination, allowing both parties to share the cost of the trip.An affordable alternative as fuel costs rideThe launch comes at a time when transport costs continue to represent a significant share of household spending in Morocco, particularly for long-distance travel between major cities. At the same time, Morocco continues to invest heavily in its transport infrastructure, including a 96 billion dirhams rail expansion plan aimed at extending rail services to 43 cities and covering 87% of the population by 2040. In this context, BlaBlaCar offers a flexible mobility solution for journeys, schedules, or destinations that are not always directly served by traditional public transport networks.By enabling travelers heading in the same direction to share travel costs, BlaBlaCar offers a more affordable and flexible mobility option while helping reduce pressure on some of the country’s busiest intercity routes.Popular routes such as Casablanca–Rabat, Casablanca–Marrakech, Tangier–Casablanca and Fes–Casablanca are expected to benefit from increased ride-sharing opportunities, helping travelers reduce costs while making better use of available vehicle capacity.Carpooling addresses this directly. The average BlaBlaCar trip carries 2.1 passengers, meaning drivers can offset more than half their fuel and toll costs by sharing expenses. The platform's pricing tool calculates a fair contribution per passenger based on local fuel rates and route distance — capping fees at cost recovery, not profit.Between March and May 2026 alone, BlaBlaCar registered more than 600,000 new drivers globally, a sign of growing appetite for cost-sharing mobility solutions across the world. "Our platform offers users a practical solution for city-to-city mobility. In an increasingly digital-minded society where we are all looking for ways to save money and limit our impact on the environment, BlaBlaCar makes the drive between two cities easier by creating a connection, splitting costs and limiting the number of individual cars on the road," said Nicolas Brusson, co-Founder and CEO of BlaBlaCar.How BlaBlaCar worksCarpooling through BlaBlaCar is a three-step process:1. Drivers post their planned trip — origin, destination, date, available seats and price — on the BlaBlaCar app (free on Apple and Android stores) or website.2. Passengers search for trips matching their route and book a seat directly through the platform.3. Both parties travel together, sharing fuel and toll costs for the journey.The model offers a flexible and social alternative, particularly for medium-distance intercity routes sometimes underserved by public transport, and reduces the number of single-driver vehicles on the road."We are excited to launch BlaBlaCar in Morocco and bring our carpooling model to a large and growing community of travelers across the country," said Nicolas Brusson. "Around the world, as we see more and more users connect to BlaBlaCar, the platform offers an alternative to private vehicles and a complementary extension of traditional transportation systems."A trusted community of 30 million annual active carpoolersBlaBlaCar's success since its founding in France in 2006 is based on community trust.
