If your organization would like to promote carpooling as an economical & practical transport alternative, BlaBlaCar offers two free widgets that you will find valuable.
Car owner widget > Offer a ride
This widget is ideal if your audience have cars, and are planning a long distance journey to your venue. It will allow them to offer their empty seats on BlaBlaCar, and offset their petrol costs by taking paying co-travellers. By helping your audience avoid travelling in single occupancy vehicles, you can reduce the environmental impact of their journey and alleviate pressure on your parking facilities.

Co-traveller widget > Find a ride
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.
