Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking
Is ConcertRide free to use?
Yes. ConcertRide charges no commission to either the driver or the passenger. The driver sets the price to cover fuel and tolls; payment is made directly in cash or by Bizum.
How much does a ride on ConcertRide cost?
The driver sets the price based on the distance and the cost of fuel. On short routes (50–100 km) it's around 5–12 €/seat. On long routes (300–600 km) it can reach 15–30 €. ConcertRide adds no commission, so the price is always lower than on other platforms.
How are drivers verified?
Each driver uploads a photo of their driving licence and verifies their identity with an ID document. The ConcertRide team manually reviews every profile before activating it.
What happens if the driver cancels the ride?
You get an immediate notification and can look for another available ride. Since payment is made in person (cash or Bizum), there are no automatic charges to manage.
Can I publish a ride if I'm driving to the festival?
Yes. You publish your route, date, departure time and the price per seat. Passengers request a seat and you decide whether to accept. Cover fuel and tolls without losing money.
Does ConcertRide cover the whole of Spain?
Yes. The platform operates across the entire Spanish territory. The most active routes connect Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Seville and Zaragoza with the biggest festivals of the year.
Can I travel with my friends in the same car?
Yes, you can request several seats on the same ride if the driver has seats available. Coordinate with your group before requesting so you can all travel together.
What documents do I need to sign up?
You only need an email and, if you're going to drive, a photo of your driving licence and ID for verification. Passengers only need to create a free account.
How is payment made?
Payment is made directly to the driver on the day of the trip, in cash or by Bizum. ConcertRide does not handle payments or hold money — no commissions, no surprises.
Is it safe to travel with ConcertRide?
All drivers are verified with ID and a driving licence. Profiles include a photo, ratings from other users and a trip history. Plus, you can communicate directly with the driver before confirming.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes, you can cancel from your profile. As payment is made in person, there are no automatic charges. Let the driver know as far in advance as possible so they can find another passenger.
What happens if I'm late to the pick-up point?
Coordinate with the driver through the platform's chat. On ConcertRide drivers usually allow a margin of 5–10 minutes, but remember they also have a festival they don't want to miss.

Sources and context
"Audience travel accounts for 80% of a festival's carbon footprint. Carpooling is the single most effective individual action to reduce it."
"Spain held more than 1,000 festivals with over 25 million attendees in 2024 and revenue exceeding 600 million euros."
"Spain ranks among the five fastest-growing live-music markets in Europe in 2023–2024."
"Carpooling can cut CO₂ emissions per kilometre and passenger by between 50% and 75% compared with a privately owned car carrying a single occupant."
"Spain's Supreme Court ruled in 2017 that non-profit carpooling is legal: the driver may only recover the cost of the trip."
