No need to register. You simply need a valid email adress. You can freely search the ads if you accept the terms of use.

To use Aerostop:

  1. Read the informations and the terms of use for this site. If you agree with them :
  2. Search the ads to know whether any of them match your request:
    1. Simply stipulate your places of departure and destination. Cities or villages, but also full adresses for short distance trips. Ex :
      Departure : 12, Rue Oberkampf, Paris; Arrival : Quai du point du jour, Boulogne Billancourt or
      Dep : Frankfurt; Arr : Stuttgart or
      Dep : Messimy, Rhone, France ; Arr : Ronda, Spain.
    2. Let Aerostop find these places and display them on the maps.
    3. Check that the displayed locations are the places you have in mind, that there was no homonymy.
    4. In case of a problem, be more specific : region, country...
    5. To limit the number of displayed ads, you cate stipulate the date of your trip. It's an option. To see all the ads matching your trip, do not change the pre-filled dates.
    6. In the case of an international trip, it may be interesting to see all the ads going from one country to an other. If you plan to travel from the UK to Norway, you may want to use a car or an aircraft going to Trondheim, even if your destination is Oslo. That's what the #4 option is meant for. With a classical search, Aerostop will display only the ads originating near your place of departure, and arriving near your destination. But you can also choose to see all ads going from your departure country to your destination one.
    7. Let the site search the ads
  3. You get ads of passengers wanting seats, drivers offering car seats and pilots offering aircraft seats. If you are interested in one of them, click on the button to get all the details.
  4. The page giving details for the ad includes maps clearly showing where your AND the ad's departure and arrival places are located. Thus, you can easily decide whether or not you want to contact his or her author.
  5. If no ad matches your request, add your own. Simply click on the button at the bottom of the page showing the results of the ads search. Do not forget to stipulate which kind of ad you want to add:
    • passenger ad to request spare seats

    • driver ad to offer spare seats in a terrestrial vehicule
  6. Finally, do not forget to click on the link included in the email Aerostop will send you when your ad is registered. Your ad will not be visible until you do it.

Should I indicate a large city rather than a small village?

Definitely not if you leave from or go to the small village. Aerostop makes a smart search and it will include all relevant large cities nearby the village in the answers. Do not worry. Your ad with the village will be included in the answers if someone makes a search from or to the nearby large city. The graphic interface of Aerostop is meant to be user-friendly. No need to know where the village from which a car leaves is located. No need to know where an airfield is. The maps will show you the places. Stipulate streets or full adresses for short distance trips.

You cannot edit an existing ad. In case of errors, delete it and enter a new one.

My advertisement disappeared

Ads are visible during the period you stipulated, the period when your trip is expected to be completed. They disappear as soon as they become obsolete. Ads for weekly or working days trips remain visible during 12 monthes. After that, you have to reenter a new ad.

How to enter an ad ?

First, you have to search ads for your trip. If none please you, a button at the bottom of the page showing the list of ads enables you to enter your own. Choose which kind of ad you want to add with the select menu.

How does Aerostop select the ads matching my request ?

Aerostop selects all ads which might be of interest to you. The selection is NOT limited to the departure and arrival cities or villages you stipulated.

Beside the regular search, you can, in the case of an international trip, request that al ads for trips starting in your departure country and going to your destination one be selected. To do this, select the corresponding option when you describe your trip.

What are the differences between the ads "matching my trip" ans those whose "departure is close to mine"?

The ads matching your trip have both their departure and arrival close to yours. (Aerostop decides what "close" means according to the length of your trip, and the air or terrestrial nature of the journey.) Aerostop also select ads with their departure close to yours, but not the destination, or the arrival, and not the origin. You may be able to share a ride with the author if you depart from, or want to go to a place located along his or her route.

Nothing works, I can neither search ads, nor add one
