Overview

Daytrip is a global travel platform that enables users to book private door-to-door car transfers across 110+ countries and six continents. The company operates a network of more than 7,000 English-speaking drivers and offers up to 40,000 possible routes that travelers can customize. Since its 2015 founding, Daytrip has assisted over 850,000 people. Its core product focuses on customized private transfers that let travelers discover places they might not visit with traditional transport. The company plans to use recent funding to further build the platform, expand operations into new countries including the United States, and establish strategic partnerships with industry leaders. Daytrip is based in Prague, Czech Republic. Daytrip is a Prague-based travel tech startup, founded in 2015, that aims to turn inter-city transfers into memorable "experience transfers" by connecting travellers with local drivers. Its platform connects over 2,000 local drivers and offers services in more than 60 countries, serving around 160,000 clients. Customers have left over 2,000 five-star TripAdvisor reviews praising the blend of convenience and authentic travel. The service emphasizes flexibility and door-to-door personal drivers, positioned as cheaper than renting a car and more convenient than public transport. Daytrip plans to use the newly raised funds for aggressive worldwide expansion, sales growth, and product development, and intends to close its Series A this year to reach a €5 million total.
