Didn’t take long before I had a lift to Brussels with a car full of Germans on their way to a Jason Derulo concert

Hitched from the Eastbound shell. Took only a short time for a lift to Köln. Our driver was kind enough to drop us at the front door of our friends house

The road to enter is strange, a lot of cars exiting the E40, not using the station then re-entering the E40. It’s not worth trying to stop them, they’re going too fast. We waited at the entrance to the service station, the exit is better as you can catch the cars as they’re leaving

50.8576, 4.4268
Highly recommend. A decent sized land for cars to pull into. Plenty of curious looks at our sign. Seems good for north and east. One offer to Antwerp, we took the next car who got us to Lueven

It’s definitely worth asking around the ferry. We looked for small groups of people seeing if they’re heading to Belgium or even Lille. Eventually found a lift to Ghent!

51.1267, 1.3277
There’s a garden on the car entrance side near the roundabout. An adequate spot for cars to stop. A couple cars almost stopped or stopped to tell us they wouldn’t/couldn’t take us?? Border patrol gave us hitching advice, but police arrived later and moved us on. Would likely have been successful if we waited long enough but the last foot ferry was to leave soon, it was getting dark and morale was low. Foot ticket to Calais

A blind corner as cars are speeding up for the motorway. There is space to stop. Maybe try along London Road but there’s not many good spots to stop around the roundabout
Fri 2026-02-13 13:30 · 195 min wait · 65 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐
51.2659, 0.6156
A long wait. There’s lots of EU number plates and truckers. A couple offers to Folkestone, a couple apologetic “we would if we had space”. Eventually we found a lift to Belgium. Unfortunately our lift would not add us to her ticket and offered to continue the lift after we had made our own way to Calais. Foot passenger ferries only come three times a day and our arrivals would not align. We got dropped at Dover
Fri 2026-02-13 09:00 · 25 min wait · 25 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
51.3053, 0.3311
A decent, high traffic spot to get a lift to Maidstone services

I find lifts in Oxfordshire take a bit longer than average. Good spot for cars to stop in the bus bay. Despite the rain made it halfway to London!!

50.4254, -4.8195
Cornwall services is here so a good spot to ask around. I stood at the turn onto the A30. The cold wind and sleet helped, the road is just wide enough for a car to pull onto the grass and not stop traffic. Not ideal though
Mon 2026-01-05 14:15 · 2 min wait · 12 km ⭐⭐⭐
50.4581, -4.6879
This lane was heading exactly in my direction, although not a good stopping spot I had a very short wait. There’s a bus stop on the other side of the roundabout that would be safer for a car to pull in
Mon 2026-01-05 13:50 · 25 min wait · 19 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐
50.4518, -4.4759
Most traffic should be heading west. A road right there for a car to pull into. There’s street parking which would be a better stopping option but it was full
Sun 2026-01-04 12:40 · 15 min wait · 103 km ⭐⭐⭐
50.8036, -3.1805
Not a prime spot. The west road going directly onto the motorway is fast with no ideal spot for a car to stop. The north road allows a car to stop though but much less traffic passing on it. My lift did come from the west road and pulled just off the road onto the grass so not entirely impossible just inconvenient.

50.7789, -3.0319
Petrol station and Greggs. Great for asking around for a lift but it’s also on a busy road so I waited at the station exit to try and catch both. There’s a road and car park just above the station for someone to pull into

Would not recommend trying to hitch from anywhere along this stretch of three roundabouts. Everything’s moving fast and hardly a spot for cars to stop

51.4754, -2.5609
Decent spot for traffic to see you. The split in the road can give cars a spot to stop but might cause some traffic and angry honks. Best to have a sign as the highway splits north and east further up

35.5654, -5.4139
I was wary of the speed of traffic further up the road. Not a many cars here but they’re still heading Tangier way. A kid came by and wagged his finger to help me hail a car, it worked. Thanks mate

34.1499, -5.4656
I stood on the petrol station side for a while, there’s ample stopping space but people may have assumed I was going south. While not as visible and harder to stop on I got lucky and hailed a truck the moment I moved to the east side of the road

Learn some Darija. I thought this car full of lovely ladies said 12km. Much better to hitch here than from 2km up the road

Lotsa tourists on their way to the next tourist spot. Plenty of space for you to be seen and a car to pull over. Was going to Fes so definitely needed a sign for a big hitchhiking distance

31.4785, -4.3915
Lots of place for a car to pull up. Judging from my previous experience and knowledge now my short wait was just luck. Abdul, a desert camp owner from Merzouga. He was registered to take tourists. We still got pulled over and asked for registrations three times adding an hour to our drive. Managed to just get my lift before sun set and Abdul let me stay at his desert camp. Book with Morocco Tours Now!!

31.5161, -5.0137
Cars here are heading towards Merzouga, but the nearby police checkpoint must have scared potential lifts off. My previous truck driver stopped for me again out of sight from the gendarmes. As far as I understand now it is illegal for locals to transport tourists unless they are a registered taxi or tour guide, at least in this region. I was uncomfortable when my driver started taking backroads and hiding me in his cab as we passed through towns. I now know he was looking out for himself and I to get me where I needed to go, but don’t feel the need to continue a lift if you’re uncomfortable. Cheers for the lift though mate

31.5218, -5.5101
A needlessly long walk out of town but I coincided with the school rush so kept on walking until I was out of their way. Best to get here around 11am when tourists are driving through, locals are very unlikely to stop for foreigners in the desert

There were a few hitchhikers waiting here when I arrived. They were going the other direction. Two cars stopped at the same time. One taking them to Taghazout, the other taking me to Essaouira

I was just near the entrance to the roundabout. One of my first hitches. Definitely my favourite. Found a lift to Imsouane and a great friend

It can be faster to walk back than wait for the bus. But it’s even faster to hitchhike

Cars are slowly coming through the border. It’s also likely to be all the cars that passed you earlier. The second car though was a lovely Aussie family that got us to Budva

There’s two driveways for drivers to pull into. If the space isn’t big enough the people are certainly nice enough. Got to Galway from here

The hostel is being used for refugees so the car park is blocked off. Creating two decent stopping spots, as well as the bus stop further up. Great spots to hitchhike at, got all the way to Galway

My lift was stopping in Westport for an unknown amount of time, so I looked around town then set off for the road. Conveniently getting picked up by my previous lift again. We took a lovely scenic drive through Connemara

Takes a long time in this area. The roundabout isn’t the most convenient of stops either. But here I found a lift to my destination in Connemara

Should be easy enough to find a lift here with all the cars leaving the abbey. My lift drove to letterfrack and we hiked Diamond Hill together
Mon 2026-04-27 08:48 · 15 min wait · 9 km ⭐⭐⭐
53.5234, -10.0485
Not a great spot to be dropped. The cars on the main road have no time to see you and nowhere to stop. The cars on the side road mightn’t see you because of the large road sign

54.6582, -8.0854
When cars turn off the roundabout the corner is pretty blind. There’s a line for roadside stopping, I don’t think people have enough time to think. I got lucky as my lift was already stopping here to fix the car window, he was also going to Sligo!

You can ask around or catch cars leaving. It’s a great sightseeing spot, I noticed Irish plates from so many counties and international. Shouldn’t be hard to find a long lift

55.0371, -8.2548
I doubt you’ll hail a car on the main road considering their speed. You should hopefully get a car turning onto the N56 though. My lift so kindly took me to the base of Errigal so I could start my hike

55.0705, -7.9720
Bad bad bad. No cars going left towards Errigal from this junction cause the N56 is more convenient. And the cars that are going on the main road are zooming. There’s a slight layby further up but a sign obscures you and standing in front isn’t safe. Fortunately a car turned into this junction and slowed down another car that I managed to hail a lift from. I got a telling of some Celtic legends as we passed the poisoned glen and Errigal

Plenty of good spots to stop on this road but there was roadworks a bit further down. Traffic was constant and slow here at rush hour, so great opportunity for a lift

55.0420, -7.3816
There’s a car park right here, but my lift didn’t see it. They spun around the roundabout and pulled in on the road in front of me. A good spot regardless. I even got a quick Gaelic lesson “dia duit!”

55.0084, -7.3194
Cars may have to make a last minute decision to turn into the petrol station. But the lights ahead can help slow them down. My lift thought I seemed clueless cause my sign said ‘west’, but I was trying to go north. So I suppose it still helped get a lift. We stopped for lunch together before I moved on towards Errigal

55.1238, -6.6581
There’s a set of light here cars may have to stop at. There’s also roadside parking right here so a car can pull in. Perfect road to get to Derry. My lift was such a lovely bloke, made me very happy to be hitchhiking in Ireland

First lift I stuck my thumb out for. My lift got me to Coleraine but insisted I be left at the station instead of a better hitching spot. It’s not too far a walk out of town though

There’s no good stopping spots for cars on the busier roads here onto the M2 so this spot had to do. Exceptionally low traffic even for a Tuesday. Only one offer but not my direction. Gave up and found another entry to the M2

55.2278, -4.8589
There’s a car park here you can wait at or stand on the pathway and thumb traffic. Scots love to stop right in the centre of the road to pick you up, so make sure you’re ready to chuck your bags in the car quickly

55.4258, -4.6159
This seemed a good spot to stand, however my lift assured me it was not. Due to being behind a barrier and at a set of complicated lights. There’s plenty of layby parking along the road, get to these if you can

Great big bus stop. Road works just around the corner so took a while for a burst of cars to come through but they were driving slow. A truck managed to stop, he was going near Oban but said that Glencoe was the most beautiful place in Scotland and not worth missing, so I let him drop me here to see the sights

The local bridge also operates as a lock, so just hope it doesn’t close and hold you up for a while. Found a lift quickly enough going to Fort William

A truck driver leant out the window and shouted “(something)(something) Livuhpeewl”. I couldn’t understand through the thick scouse accent. He might’ve been going to Liverpool. Along with every other driver for the next three hours. I abandoned my Edinburgh sign as the sun was setting and finally thumbed a lift to Glasgow before I gave up hope

Definitely the best spot to get to England from. I even found another hitchhiker making the same trip. There were a good few UK plates that passed by. Unfortunately they couldn’t or wouldn’t take us. After a while waiting we took a lift to the next services, against all better advice
