PARIS (Reuters) - BlaBlaCar, whose amateur chauffeurs share costs with passengers on long-distance journeys, and AXA
The product, which will be launched initially in France, will offer insurance protection for drivers that use the BlaBlaCar service, with no excess charged for damage that may occur whilst carpooling.
BlaBlaCar, which was founded in Paris in 2006, describes itself as the world's largest carpooling community.
BlaBlaCar is among several new firms challenging traditional carmakers and transport companies alike.
Such companies include the likes of Uber [UBER.UL] and Avis-owned (NASDAQ: CAR) ZipCar, which offer access to self-drive vehicle fleets for as little as an hour at a time.
