BlaBlaCar is a French online marketplace for carpooling headquartered in Paris. Its website and mobile apps connect drivers and passengers willing to travel together between cities and share the cost of the journey, in exchange for a commission of between 18% and 21%. It also operates BlaBlaCar Bus, an intercity bus service. The platform has 26 million active members and is available in Europe and Latin America.

The service is named for its rating scale for drivers' preferred level of chattiness in the car: "Bla" for not very chatty, "BlaBla" for someone who likes to talk, and "BlaBlaBla" for those who can't keep quiet. thumb|BlaBlaCar Bus at Cologne Bonn Airport Bus Stop
