Every time I see this, I want to translate it as "Do you want a Corona?" That phrase would also be good for flirting.
Boleia no Brasil é usado apenas para fazer referência a parte do caminhão. Nunca no sentido de transporte. Carona é usado em todas as situações, pais, irmãos, amigos ou paqueras, todas nos oferecem carona.
No interior do norte e nordeste do Brasil existe transporte em caminhões onde são colocados bancos na carroceria (boleia) dos mesmos. Mas este é pago. Atenção: boleia não tem mais acento devido ao novo acordo.

It is in Scotland & Ireland....but I'm not sure about in England and I don't think so in USA.
In Scotland you would ask "Do you need a lift?" If you ask "Do you want a ride?" and you'll probably get slapped!

In Ireland you get or ask for a "lift". Getting a ride would mean what SilentAnnie said.
In the US there isn't any (inherent) sexual connotation in "Do you want a ride?", unless perhaps it's said within a sexual context.
Or just said in a way that implies it ;)
My mind was in the gutter for this one
Você está sozinha? Você está procurando boa companhia? Você quer uma carona?
These "flirting" lines are sounding distinctly stalkerish!
Exactly mister Mcgee, but does everbody here understand why? Having a ride in the UK and Ireland could also mean having sex!

Ha...yes...Just last night a Brazilian friend I talk to (thanks to duo) had a date...I asked her how it went and she said "Well, I wanted him..."
I had to quiz her to discover that she really meant "I liked him"....then explain to her.
Sure they have! I would never take! You gotta see the situation you say this things, because if some driver in the streets asked me that, I would not take it!
what does "do you want a ride?" mean in English? In which situations do we use it?
it's when you want to help someone go from one place to an other, often in a car or on a motorcycle...

In Hiberno-English this means "do you want to have sex?". If one wanted to "go from some place to another place" one would ask for "a lift".
How do I say "baby girl" in Portuguese. As a matter of fact, I think this word should be added to this section immediately!
The infinitive is querer. "quer" is the third person singular conjugation. You could also say "Tu queres uma carona?"
