How it all started…
In December 2003Fred wanted to spend Christmas with his family in Vendée. Without a car and with trains fully bookedhe relied on his sisterwho made a detour to pick him up.
Along the journeyhe was struck by the number of drivers alone in their cars and imagined a network to make better use of those empty seats.
Twenty years laterFredFrancisNicolasand the BlaBlaCar teams have turned that simple idea into the world’s leading carpooling platformconnecting millions of travelers across the globe.
