Thank you for this! We're debating a journey from Paris to Frankfurt with BlaBlaCar. Could you tell us how much legroom was there on the bus? Pete's quite tall so 7 hours or so on a bus might not be the most comfortable ride 😅
Absolutely! Personally I’m 5’7 and the keg room was extraordinary. All seats are the same and they’re very comfortable. It’s a significant amount more spacious than an airplane! I just happily booked a 10 hour trip this weekend vs a flight.
Thank you for the helpful video. I’m a bit concerned about no toilets onboard the London-Paris trip that takes 9 hours. What’s your experience regarding toilets on BlaBlaCar buses?
In my experience they have all had onboard toilets. I suggest booking through the app, it’s way easier. Once you select your route, you can tap on the ‘see all amenities available’ tab to expand what’s included. There is more than likely a toilet on all of them. I hope that helps!
@@jessicaexploring Hi Jessica. I just booked thru BlablaCar for my wife who definitely needs a toilet on her 7-hour ride. From what I've seen, The buses that are part of BlablaCar fleet all have toilets BUT BlablaCar offers buses from other companies as well and one of them had no toilets on a 9-hour ride with no breaks like the person above suggested.
"Car" (short for autocar) in French means a coach, but confusingly perhaps, many French people also use the word "bus" for bus as we do in UK. So Bla Bla Car is an original way of saying Bla Bla Coach. And Bla bla is fairly obvious!! ?
Car in french mean "Voiture" . Bus in english IS the same word in french. It's just that BLABLACAR is for CARS and personnal drivers, while BLABLABUS is for BUS with professionnals drivers.
Some do and some don’t! Some also say they do and they don’t haha. It’s just a 50/50 shot honestly. The Wi-Fi (if you do have it) is prefer decent too.
Yes! For most (if not all) you can bring a personal item and a carry on. The additional checked bag can be brought too but it just costs you a few dollars to add on.
@@jessicaexploring Pardon, I don't travel much. What do you mean by "a personal item and a carry on" ? If you have a large suitcase and a typical flight cabin bag (like a small suitcase), would that mean the large case in the hold (and you have to pay extra for that) and the cabin bag with you on the deck? (And then also a second item allowed on the deck) Thank you.
Thank you for the video! We already booked super cheap tickets and are now sure that it’s legit and going to be a good experience!
10/10 recommend! I love them. I’ve traveled on short and long distances and they were always on time, clean, and comfy.
@@jessicaexploring does the carrier ask for ID or is the ticket enough?

@@jessicaexploring Thanks! Pete's 6'3 and "all leg" so flights are an issue too 😂 Hope your travels go well! Thank you again, subbed to you ☺

Is it possible using indonesian phone number while registering the app?
How's the experience?
I’m not totally sure on that one, I’m from Canada!
Parfois AND brioche dorée OMG going through serious withdrawals
The things I would give to have access to French pastries everywhere I go…
Do they have toilet / rest stops? Or its really a straight uninterrupted trip
All of the buses I was on did with the exception of one because it was out of order.
Thank you 🙏 What is luggage policy?.Can you please let us know?
Yes! For most (if not all) you can bring a personal item and a carry on. The additional checked bag can be brought too but it just costs you a few dollars to add on.

I believe some did and some didn’t
was the timing of the buses accurate?
They always were right on schedule for me!
Alguien ha cancelado su reserva con esta empresa? Y le han rembolsado su dinero?
I always booked non refundable tickets so I never did
Can i bring 30kg luggage?
For some you can! The baggage allowance is listed before you book. It depends on the bus route.
@@jessicaexploring thank you for your response
Does Blablacar buses have toilets?
All of the buses I took did. It was super convenient for long trips.
have you done BlaBla via car?
I’ve never done it by car. I’ve heard that it’s totally fine, but I’ve always opted for the bus myself.
