Ride-sharing apps have proliferated since BlaBlaCar, promising savings and more sustainable trips for drivers. Platforms like Klaxit, Mobicoop, Karos, or France Covoit have mainly targeted commuting and daily fare-sharing. In this already crowded landscape, a new entrant is pushing specialization even further. A French app now claims the libertine carpooling niche, reserving its trips for clubs and especially risqué evenings. It’s a development that could shake up the usual playbook of mainstream ride-sharing already well established on our roads.
Behind this idea sits Liberty Car, a young company that targets exclusively trips to libertine clubs. The service launched in the summer of 2026, led by two Strasbourg natives, Eliot Schacke and Anthony Witz. The app borrows the codes of ride-sharing platforms, but applies them to a very particular party-oriented universe. It promises to bring together drivers and adult passengers heading to the same club or the same night out. A promise that naturally arouses curiosity, as this blend of mobility and dating remains unprecedented.
Liberty Car, libertine carpooling focused on clubs and steamy nights
Liberty Car markets itself first as a highly targeted directory of venues dedicated to libertine practices. “You’ll find your club or your event,” reads the app description. “From the map, you select a libertine club or an event in the directory.” “With a tap on ‘Offer a ride,’ you trigger the next step.” The app claims “more than 400 establishments listed” in France, a catalog smaller than the giants of the sector. Each listing corresponds to a club or a party toward which members can organize a shared ride.
The idea targets regulars of these venues who either don’t have a license, or prefer to avoid driving after the night. The founders also mention often remote clubs that are poorly served by public transport, where the return trip can quickly become tricky. Liberty Car is downloadable for free, but the company talks about a “premium subscription” reserved for the most active users. On the app, each user creates a couple profile or a single-person profile before proposing or joining a ride. “You can even add a description to specify your preferences: couple only, male solo, female solo,” Liberty Car notes. “Relaxed atmosphere or already heated.”
Between shared rides, road safety and dating, a not-quite-classic carpool
Liberty Car sits within a generation of mobility apps that are becoming increasingly specialized. Beside general platforms, there are already services focused on home-to-work commutes, rural routes, or school trips. Here, the throughline remains the same: share the fare and limit empty miles. But the target audience is different, since all listings point toward the libertine universe and its distinctive codes. According to estimates cited by trade press, nearly 4.5 million French people engage in libertinage at least occasionally. The site CovoiturageLibertin.fr claims more than 5,000 members and over 12,500 rides already completed, signaling that this kind of service has found its audience.
Officially, Liberty Car remains a peer-to-peer carpooling platform: the car is primarily used to share a ride. What happens before or after the journey is up to the adults involved, as per the stated principle. Rides unfold like any carpool, with pre-ride messaging and agreed-upon fare sharing. The app’s listing highlights 18+ access and verified profiles. An alert button and a review system round out this setup designed to minimize unpleasant surprises in the car. For the driver approaching this concept, one thing is certain: the car continues to accompany encounters that can be quite unexpected.
