Ladies only

For many women, carpooling can raise concerns about security, and although BlaBlaCar has a number of safety features that create a secure and trusted community, it may happen that some women still don't feel comfortable sharing a ride with a man they don't know. That's why BlaBlaCar created Ladies Only, to allow members to plan a ride where the driver and all passengers are women. The feature is rarely used however, and it's usually only ever used when a female member uses BlaBlaCar for the first time. Full profiles, with a photo, mini-bio, preferences, verified contact details and ratings left by other members, are much more powerful in creating trust between members, regardless of gender. In fact, 99.4% of rides on BlaBlaCar are offered to both men and women.

Kindly note that only complete applications will be reviewed by our hiring team and that all your information will be kept confidential.

You can expect us to review your application within the following 3 weeks. If your application fits our requirements, we will invite you for an online test, followed by two/three interview sessions including a technical test.
