The first analogue of a French passing transportation provider in Russia, the BeepCar online service, was developed by Russian company mail.ru. In 2018, a European competitor bought out the assets of the domestic group. Today, to find a trip as a passenger without registering for BipCar or BlaBlaCar, you need to go to the website of the last service provider. If the client, out of habit, drives the address beepcar.ru into the search bar, the system automatically redirects him to the base platform.
As explained in Mail.Ru, the company is more focused on the development of food delivery services, classifieds, cross-border trade, therefore it is not very interested in the field of passing transportation, even with all its success.
BeepCar and BlaBlaCar team up
The Russian version remains available to customers. Currently, the page with the news about the merger of BeepCar and BlaBlaCar services remains active on the site. The management of both platforms made a mutual decision to work together on the development of the passing transportation sector. Under the terms of the contract, Mail.Ru Group will sell BlaBlaCar advertising through its resources and act as a mechanism for redirecting fellow travelers.
Find a trip as a passenger without registering on BipCar
The routes involved in BipCar pass through the territory of 22 countries of the world. The passenger needs to register on the site, enter the points of departure and destination in the search bar, indicate the date of the trip and book a seat in the car. The trip announcement contains information about the driver, other fellow travelers, the price of the service, the number of empty seats on the second row, etc. Booking confirmation occurs automatically or manually - at the discretion of the car owner.
Analogue of Bla Bla Car - is it possible to find more similar services on Russian market transportation? What subtleties, rules of work are taken into account by them, are there any commissions? What is the peculiarity of the device of similar systems, why are services combined?
BlaBla Car is a popular and one of the leading services for finding fellow travelers. Well known in Russia and abroad, in the CIS countries and Europe. What can surprise competitors?
Oddly enough, but in Russia BlaBlaCar is not the only representative, the market has replenished with at least 5 more representatives. In recent years, offers have only increased, due to the increase in the cost of travel using buses, trains and even airplanes. Moreover, the crisis did not have a serious impact on the situation, which, on the contrary, managed to contribute to an increase in the number of clients in this area.
Regarding offers, similar services can be divided into the following:
- Bombila;
- Beepcar;
- Let's eat together;
- Companion;
- I'll take you.
All services are united by one slogan, they help to find rides, organize trips together with friends or just find a good travel company. There are both advantages, and in some cases outright flaws.
So what is attractive analogue of BlaBlaCar, let's look in detail.
Taxi call in the city and intercity inDriver
A similar service, Bla Bla Karu, was developed quite by accident and against the backdrop of difficult working conditions for taxi companies. In 2012, in the winter in Yakutsk, local taxi drivers raised their fares, which made residents unhappy. A group of people created communities where they shared proposals for joint trips to work, study, etc.
Then the idea arose to develop the system, and already in 2013 an application was created that processes orders from the "Community of Independent Drivers".
According to 2019 data, the system remains free, which attracts over 26 million people. Residents of Russia, the USA, Brazil, CIS countries, Africa, etc. can use the resource.
Beepcar service
A similar service to Bla Bla Car for some time, but since September last year, the two systems have merged into one. Rather, BlaBlaCar managed to absorb a lesser-known system, which had a good chance of becoming a regional leader. Therefore, the search application is now one. The Bip Car website still exists, but in the information field.
The system was originally built in a similar way as BlaBlaCar, so it makes no sense to talk about activities.
Dovezu.ru service
Screenshot of dovezu.ru website The resource is somewhat similar to Bla Bla Kar, but to some extent more functional. If BlaBlaCar is looking for fellow travelers, Dovezu.ru allows you to:
- Search for interlocutors, language learning assistants in your area, locality.
- Find partners, allies for joint singing, dancing, etc.
- Look for like-minded people for walks, joint recreational activities, trips to museums, etc.
- You can search for fellow travelers by city, region. An alternative for organizing a trip, more functional and providing more opportunities.
Poputchik.ru service
An alternative on a local scale, while the resource is distributed only in Russia. You can search, as well as on the Bla Bla Car, travel companions. The difference from Bla Bla Car is that you can find groups of people like for joint walks, trips to work, study, etc.
Although the system is small, it appeared relatively recently, and it is developing successfully. If you could not find a suitable ad, create your own and expect like-minded people.
Let's go together - service of joint trips
Another representative of the market, so far little known in the Russian Federation and neighboring countries. The total number of requests is only 5,000, unlike the tens and hundreds of thousands of ads that analogues have.
In many ways, Let's Eat Together is superior to BlaBlaCar, such as the type of registration, the ability to indicate a minimum of information, etc.
Service Boombilla
Another functional analogue of the familiar and familiar BlaBlaCar, which still has a small number of users. Created in 2016 under the "patronage" of the well-known car rental service - Booking Group.
Through services, you can organize trips around the city, to other settlements, to study, work, tourism, etc. With the help of Bombila, you can find like-minded people to visit museums and concerts.
Recently it became known about the launch of a new service for finding and booking rooms and apartments. So far, the only resource that allows you to use such a functional set of offers in one application.
Booking Group, an international online booking company, has launched a new travel business in Russia. The company has developed an online service Boombilla, which will help you find travel companions, travel guides, places to stay. By the end of 2017, Booking Group plans to attract more than 1 million users to the Russian service.
Boombilla.ru has collected all the advantages of such types of tourism as ridesharing and couchsurfing. With the help of the service, you can find a guide who is ready to show you the most interesting, financially profitable and proven places (hostels, attractions, cafes). You can also choose a travel companion according to the purpose of the trip (music festivals, food tourism, shopping). For frequent users service has insignia / trust or statuses, for example, “Seasoned bumbilla” for drivers, “Avid bumber” for travelers. Unlike classic hitchhiking, Boombilla pays a lot of attention to travel safety. The developers have created a user verification system. You can also insure your trip and contact the Boombilla dispatcher at any time.
In addition to the Boombilla.ru website, you can find a trip and fellow travelers in a specialized mobile application that already works on Android and will soon be launched on iOS. To search for a driver, you need to register an account, and then enter the points of departure and arrival in the search form. Then choose from the list of drivers the one whose offer is more favorable in terms of price or travel conditions. In the "Offer a trip" section, you also need to specify the points of departure and arrival, the date and time of departure, the number of free seats in the car, the approximate size of luggage and the price. Boombilla offers a suggested price per seat based on how long the route is and based on an estimated cost allowance.
The creators of Boombilla.ru agree that their product resembles BlaBlaCar, which already exists on the market, but there is no talk of competition and direct struggle for users yet, since the ridesharing market in our country is so young and undeveloped that several players can comfortably coexist on it at once , competing with each other without aggressive war. In the foreseeable future, Boombilla.ru expects to use up to a million empty car seats when traveling between cities, which will make traveling in Russia more fun and profitable. And most importantly - without compromising safety, because in addition to the system of rating and blocking inadequate drivers and passengers, as well as a round-the-clock dispatch service, the developers plan to start cooperation with the largest insurance companies, as well as receive information about driver offenses from open sources.
Of course, there are many more sites that help travel, but in reality they often turn out to be “dead”. In this article, Lena Satarova writes only about those services that she personally tried and which helped her out more than once in critical situations.
1. Couchsurfing
While many only dream of an ideal world where money is not the only stimulant of life, Couchsurfing has been putting the idea of a disinterested exchange of experience into practice for 10 years.
Couchsurfing.org is a free social networking site for travelers and hosts who are willing to offer their accommodation for the night. Many people mistakenly believe that you can stay with some Jack from London only after you yourself have hosted a certain number of surfers. This is not true. In fact, you can travel the whole world as a guest without ever inviting anyone to your place. The main thing is that your profile seems attractive to homeowners.
To date, I have used the site both as a host (Host) and as a guest (Surf). As a surfer, I stayed for three days with a guy from Ivan-Frankivsk, who leads author's tours to the Carpathian Mountains. It cannot be said that we got along right away - Andrei was in a bad mood from morning to evening, but for some reason he did not let me go for a long walk alone. “Let’s go already, okay, I’ll show you what’s here and how,” he did a favor that no one asked for, and led. I wanted to reduce our contacts to a minimum - to come late at night, sleep, and dump the first few roosters.
My foot on the background of the Carpathians. Andrei pours wine next to him.
This is the first catch of Couchsurfing - if you come to visit someone, you have to spend a certain amount of time with this person, whether you like it or not. This is not a hotel where they give you the key and goodbye! The essence of the project is the exchange of experience, so you have to communicate.
On the other hand, such communication takes you out of your comfort zone so much that at a certain moment you realize that your world has shaken and expanded like never before. After Andrey and I went to the mountains, pierced the last bus from the mountain village and drank 4 liters of homemade wine, we parted as best friends.
As a hostess, I hosted Juan from Argentina for five days. The handsome Argentine has more than 30 countries in the list of visited countries, and he has traveled almost all of these countries with the help of Couchsurfing. Juan courageously ate everything I gave him, and I gave him only salads, cheese and unleavened black bread. Only occasionally, seemingly not hinting at anything, did he say, “And we in Argentina really love meat and white bread. Maybe I'll buy beef for the evening and cook it our way? What? Better brynza with basil? Great idea!". On the fifth day, Juan broke down, bought himself a white loaf and ate it almost entirely.
I drove him around Kiev all weekend, and then I gave the second keys and went to work.
This is the second joke: if you play Couchsurfing, you will have to completely trust your guest without any guarantees. Even if you collect all your caskets with family heirlooms in one room and nail it down, no one prevents the guest from hitting you with a pot on the head and taking whatever they want. So either trust completely or don't even start.
When Juan left, we all almost cried. The house was empty, no stupid Latin American soap opera songs played in the evenings. We agreed to meet in a year in Argentina.
2 Blablacar
It's simple: this is a regular site for finding fellow travelers in Ukraine, Russia and Europe, on which really life glows. Whichever direction you plan your trip, be sure you will find offers from Blablacar drivers. My friends and I have used the site more than 10 times, and we never looked for a car in advance. Most of the time, it happened on a day-to-day basis.
Traveling with a Blablacar is no more expensive than traveling in a second-class compartment, but what a time saving! In addition, the service helps a lot when there are simply no train tickets. For example, on holidays.
All of our travels have been great! The driver patiently stopped when someone felt ill, urgently needed to go to the toilet or drink coffee. When we needed a stop to drink wine, that's okay too!
3. Skyscanner
You know, when I get really sad, I just browse websites that monitor flights of different airlines for cheap flights, and “fly” like this around the world – from Barcelona to Bangkok. I have so much experience in this business that just trust me - no one will offer you cheaper options than Skyscanner.
No one will offer you cheaper options than Skyscanner.
4. Airbnb
Again, it seems to be nothing special. Airbnb is a marketplace where you can list, find and book unique accommodations anywhere in the world directly on the site or using mobile device. But the secret is that the examples of housing on this site are really cool, imaginatively decorated rooms, apartments, houses or even castles. Works since 2008.
The examples of housing on this site are really cool, imaginatively decorated rooms, apartments, houses or even castles.
For the first time I used this site when I had the high mission of organizing the perfect bachelorette party for a friend. We needed an apartment without pretentious chandeliers and leather sofas, but also without chiffoniers in the Soviet Art Deco style. On Airbnb, I found just such an apartment near the sea, which fully corresponded to the description and photographs. The owner told us where it is cheapest to eat and left. "Leave the keys in mailbox when you leave, ”he told us goodbye.
It must be said that it was so comfortable there that we did not give a damn about the standards of drunken madness that should precede marriage, and sat in the apartment almost without getting out.
5. Booking
The most convenient service for searching and booking hotels and hostels around the world. And probably the most popular resource among travelers who open their own visa, because of the possibility of free cancellation.
The most popular resource for travelers who open their own visa due to the possibility of free cancellation.
If the booking fee that was charged to your card is not refunded immediately upon cancellation, don't panic. The site reserves the right to return the money for the reservation within a month. Based on personal experience, I can say that a refund in case of trip cancellation is one hundred percent (although it is issued with a delay).

blablacar luggage
When booking a seat, it is worth asking a question about luggage. If the passenger plans to take a large suitcase with him, he should notify the driver in advance. Do not leave such a question unresolved until the moment you get into the car.

In this case, it is recommended to ask your friends in advance to arrange a meeting at this place.
If the driver didn't show up
There are situations when the driver does not answer the calls and messages of the passenger. who managed to book a seat in his car. In this case, you need to start looking for another car, since there is no guarantee that you will be able to contact this person by the due date.
