Car sharing is hip. That find not only the participants, but also investors: BlaBlaCar, one of the bigger players on the world market, has a whopping USD 100 million of capital attracted.

The principle of a autodeelservice is clear: waste of capacity in cars theft. BlaBlaCar is the leading long distances; someone who is normally a train or plane would be better, this may be an alternative. This produces a win-win situation: the costs are shared and the environment spared. In addition, performs car sharing is a social function, for those who are open.

BlaBlaCar (we hope that the person that this awful name has fabricated his/her bonus for a penalty missed) started in France, but has now expanded to 12 countries, including Russia. Yes. With the $ 100.000.000 financing investor Index Ventures is a reinforcement and extension of the platform at your fingertips.

The number of members is currently 8 million, more than 1 million parts per month for a ride.

UPDATE: now they have 10 million members!
