Cancellation with Blablacar: How to cancel a trip

The cancellation of a ride with Blablacar is possible for both the driver and the passenger at any time. We have all the information in this practical tip for you.

As a driver, cancel a ride with Blablacar

As a driver, you must of course cancel your trip immediately as soon as you know that you will not start the trip.

• It is very important that you cancel your trip via the Blabacar website so that the costs of any trips that have already been booked are reimbursed immediately.
• To cancel the trip online, first log into your Blablacar account. Then click on "Delete" on the carpool offer that you would like to cancel.
• Finally, confirm the cancellation of your trip by answering the question in the affirmative.
• You don't have to worry about anything after that, Blablacar will notify the riders who have already registered about the cancellation of the rideshare. However, it is a fine move of yours if you contact your "Fast-Passenger" personally with a short apology. The rideshare is happy to see this, but is not an obligation.
• If you only have to skip a trip once, this has no consequences for you. However, if this repeats itself frequently, it can quickly happen that you will be excluded from Blablacar.

Cancel a ride with Blablacar as a passenger

As a passenger, you can of course also cancel a ride that has already been booked. In this case, however, you may have to pay a kind of cancellation fee.

• Canceling carpooling is pretty easy. You log on to your Blablacar account and then cancel the corresponding trip.
• If you cancel the booked ride at least 24 hours before the planned departure, you will receive a full refund of all costs.
• If you cancel only 24 hours before the scheduled departure, you must pay 50 percent of the total cost.
• If you do not cancel the carpool at all, you will not receive any money back afterwards. So you have to bear all the costs.
