Question

Are there any websites to get advice from experienced hitchhikers?

Community Answer

hitchwiki.org is a great place to find answers, tips and maps. I always use it and don´t know how I would have survived my first few times with out it.

Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

Question

What if the driver starts driving someplace else and won't listen to where I want to go?

Community Answer

You should call the police or try to jump out of the car. If they won't let you out, they're kidnapping you, so you need to do whatever you can do to get away.

Question

What if I have a crush on the driver. Can I ask the driver out?

Community Answer

You can do anything you want, however, it would probably not be a good choice to do so since you just met the driver. They could be married or a toxic person. But again, you can do what you want. Just be careful because this world can be a terrifying place.

Why do I need to be more careful if I am female?

Community Answer

There are many reports of women hitchhiking being kidnapped and pulled into prostitution and human trafficking. If you are a woman, then it is best to travel with a man so you decrease your chances of being kidnapped.
