Carpooling
In March 2023, Klaxit, with which the Principality had had a contract since September 2020, was acquired by BlaBlaCar.
Since Monday 10 June 2024, carpooling in Monaco has been possible with BlablacarDaily!
The Monegasque carpooling offer is now based on the Blablacar Daily application, France's leading home-work carpooling service, and on a partnership with companies in the Principality (all signatories to the National Pact for Energy Transition).
The aim of this partnership is to build up a critical mass of users, thereby creating a virtuous circle: the more carpoolers there are, the easier it is to carpool!
However, carpooling is not reserved exclusively for employees of partner establishments in the Principality.
Anyone travelling to or from Monaco can take advantage of the following services:
- Free travel for passengers, whatever the distance
- Government funding of journeys: the driver is paid on the basis of 10 cents/km, with a guaranteed minimum of €1.5/journey/passenger (from 2 km) and a maximum of €3 for any journey over 30 km.
- A return guarantee (reimbursement of a taxi up to €50) for the passenger, if the return journey can no longer be made by the planned driver
- Optimisation of carpooling journeys: matching algorithm, selection of meeting/drop-off points (hubs), adaptation to unforeseen circumstances with the ‘immediate departures’ option
- Rewards for carpoolers through a marketplace in the application, enabling them to obtain discounts from affiliated partners
- Customisation of the application in the Principality's colours
- Since the partnership was launched four years ago, some 400,000 journeys have been financed!
