I did Frankfurt to Dussoldorf in ’91….it was the cheapest option then and was with no prior booking…. just walk in and get whatever was there. Looking for Paris to Frankfurt/ Amsterdam now in 2011 but dont know where to find…any idea?

just to put history straight …. as ikea sucked up the market regarding home made furniture by producing them cheaper than one could built them -even from wine crates – Mitfahrzentrale was the commercial outcome of hitch-hicking wasn’t it !?!?

I think I first used Mitfahrzentrale in 1985 or so and it wasn’t new then.

A useful and convenient way to get around, but not always faster (and generally more expensive) than simply hitchhiking which was always very good in Germany (I haven’t hitched in Europe since around 1990).
