### 2/5 — So much potential

*2026-08-21, version 8.2.1*

This idea has so much potential but the execution is lacking. I am a European and BlaBlaCar is a must have for traveling. I booked a trip with Hitch and was never communicated with that my driver was “sick” and couldn’t make the trip causing me to pay over $200 to get me to my destination. Unfortunately, after reading reviews this seems common and for a TRANSIT/Travel company this is unacceptable. At least let me know at the time you were made aware or offer other options. 

On the driver side, I have had the app for over 3 months and have never seen an opportunity to drive. BlablaCar does it right, if you’re going in that direction you make your trip available for others to join. This seems like an uber system where you make far less - drive to a certain destination at preset times. 

Overall this app both on the rider and driver side could be much better. I wish them the best!

### 2/5 — Scam charges

*2026-08-06, version 8.0.1*

I’ve been using hitch for two years now and honestly Hitch is  filled with scam charges. They tell you the ride will cost $55 then charge you $60 only if there’s extra money in your account. Otherwise they’ll charge only the $55 you were originally quoted. I think that’s very dubious it’s $5 so a lot of folks might not pay attention but it happens and I’ve experienced both scenarios. And I think they need to do more research on the driving history of their drivers. The ones between Houston to Dallas speed excessively and are not careful drivers. I will say they at least show up for pick up early now thank 2years ago

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible l

*2026-07-06, version 7.2.2*

This app absolutely sucks the customer support takes forever to respond. I had a driver that just decided to never show up I repeatedly tried contacting them just for them not to respond.

### 1/5 — Trash and Scam

*2026-07-03, version 7.2.2*

Worst App I've ever had! They stole your money without any ride/service! 
Driver didn't show up at all. I called 23 times and sent 5 messages, got no response after 2 hours passed the scheduled time. The driver cancelled the trip and marked me as no show. Hitch charged me entire $133.99. Costumer service is just a joke, offered no help at all. Give me my money back!!!

### 1/5 — Unsafe, unreliable, & unethical

*2026-06-29, version 7.2.2*

Avoid this company at all costs! I’ve now had multiple instances where they set an unsafe pickup location in a dangerous part of town, only for the driver to delay pickup for hours. Sometimes well into the night. If you can cancel, they will not compensate instead you get penalised. Stay away from these frauds.

### 4/5 — Good ride but..

*2026-06-29, version 7.2.2*

I gave 4 stars because of the pickup location. On the app, I selected IAH Airport as my pickup point, but I was instead assigned a pickup location at Burger King (5596 North Fwy). I had to take an Uber to get there, and the Uber fare ended up costing about the same as the Hitch ride to College Station. It would be much better if the app could assign pickup locations that match the selected pickup point or at least choose a location that is genuinely nearby. Overall, the ride itself was good, but I hope this can be improved. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Bad driver experience

*2026-06-27, version 7.2.2*

Dont usually do this but I have to, had the most unpleasant car ride of my life in hitch, driver stopped 3 times, the eta was wrong for around 2 hours and it wasn’t traffic, never again

### 2/5 — Bad service

*2026-06-25, version 7.2.2*

Got here early to drop off my niece and the driver canceled and there isn’t a customer service number, and the time keeps getting pushed back after I drove an hour to get here already. Slow communication and bad service all around.

### 1/5 — app is garbage

*2026-06-22, version 7.2.1*

would give this zero stars if possible. it’s a ripoff service that doesn’t pay its drivers. now it doesn’t even work. trash

### 1/5 — Robbing drivers

*2026-06-14, version 7.2.0*

They always rob drivers on their earning. Big suit happening very soon

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE

*2026-06-13, version 7.2.0*

The worst app! Unpredictable, unprofessional and no help! It’s a waste of money and time !! Do not use this app

### 1/5 — Barely pays 10 an hour

*2026-06-12, version 7.2.0*

After gas an expenses you make like 10$ an hour. They have the Gaul to want to suspend you for canceling after just a few minutes. Get real. Posts by customers clearly show it’s too Cheap for them. No respect for drivers

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2026-06-04, version 7.0.3*

Cant even pay to book a ride to Houston.

### 1/5 — only lets you use $25 of credit at a time

*2026-05-25, version 7.0.2*

no point in doing referrals atp

### 1/5 — complete scam and waste of time

*2026-05-17, version 6.22.0*

Just use uber. Me and my friends for waiting for 40 mins after scheduled departure time

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — lawless wasteland

*2026-08-22, version 8.2.1*

rides are consistently delayed by 40min-1hr, app is clunky and runs into issues. if there are multiple stops in a ride, the app lists them in an inefficient order that needlessly delays the drop off time for other passengers. at this point just take a redbus

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2026-08-20, version 8.1.0*

My past 5 rides have been delayed by over an hour each. Tried contacting customer service and they even forgot to delete the Chat GPT prompt when responding to me. This is not the Hitch I remember from last year. Quality has dropped off insanely hard. Now they have changed my departure time from 7AM TO 1PM! without any consent or compensation. What is going on with this app? Can't wait for a competitor to come along and actually make this team have to work to provide a decent service.

### 1/5 — Random cancellation

*2026-08-17, version 8.0.4*

Rides are being canceled at last minute.

### 1/5 — Most un-user-friendly app for riders I’ve ever seen.

*2026-08-10, version 8.0.3*

The driver details, eta information, or anything about the trip in general does not update in time and I have to talk to a bot to resolve and troubleshoot and am not able to get connected with a real person. Please review and improve.

### 1/5 — Worst Experience

*2026-07-21, version 7.2.2*

I have used Hitch for a long time, and this has been a consistent issue rather than a one-time experience. Drivers rarely arrive at the scheduled pickup time. In many cases, pickups are delayed by 1–2 hours because drivers are still completing previous trips, dropping off passengers at multiple locations far from the next pickup. This results in riders waiting for extended periods with little regard for their time.

Customer support has also been disappointing. The only explanation provided is that the driver is busy completing another trip, which does not address the underlying problem. If there are not enough drivers to meet scheduled pickup times, the platform should not continue accepting additional bookings

### 1/5 — Long Way to go

*2026-07-18, version 7.2.2*

This ride service is such a big inconvenience! Try to give it multiple chances. These drivers are always late 30–40 minutes past the estimated pick up times, customer service no phone number just chat message back-and-forth and This app is extremely slow and the prices are higher than it should be.

### 1/5 — Hitch = 💀

*2026-07-18, version 7.2.2*

Do not hitch hike on the internet.

### 1/5 — No support while you are on a ride

*2026-07-17, version 7.2.2*

Yesterday, a driver named Tyrin picked us up from Houston towards Dallas. As soon as the car hit I-45, the car starting swerving at every little bump. Then he started talking to people with the phone in his hand. I immediately reported the unsafe ride on the support and there was not a single response. I just heard back after the whole night and when I responded, the chat has been closed and erased from the conversation history. Earlier, a hitch ride I had booked never appeared despite waiting two hours. This is the last time I used this obviously but wanted to warn people - this is not like Uber where there is some sort of support available during the ride. None. Zilch. Silence.

### 1/5 — Does no worth

*2026-07-10, version 7.2.2*

Yesterday accepted a ride from Austin to Houston with an offer of around $150, (ride door to door) and today after struggling with support the final payment shows just $45 

Also, do not spectate toll expense to be reimbursed
—- update—-
Hitch policies are meant to engage driver even against safety. The ride took almost 7 hours AUS-HOU, according this policy driver is in the obligation to pick up a rider after midnight and drive back… if not, driver is going to collect just $45

### 1/5 — Always late, arrival estimates wrong

*2026-07-10, version 7.2.2*

Updating my review. It’s moderately easy to book, but drivers don’t always arrive on time and the drop off time is overly optimistic, so I never arrive on time. Worse, the app doesn’t allow refunds for terrible service like this and when you cancel one ride you have to drive yourself and cancel both, so you’re out $100 due to terrible service.

I don’t know who all these other five-star reviews are from but it’s not people who need scheduled transportation and on-time arrivals. Don’t use this for work. I’m deleting the app and finding a new solution.
