Great driver in Egypt
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”

Feb 28, 2025Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

“My wife and I stayed in Budapest and were originally going to take a bus to Plitvice, but the company had poor communication. We submitted our trip request the evening before we had to leave and heard back within 1 hour. Agnesa was our driver and we were very relieved to have a reliable transfer. Our trip with Agnesa was great! She was on time and was very nice. Her car was comfortable and she drove very well and safely. We had good conversation, which made the trip go by fast. We definitely appreciate her time in getting us to our destination safely and we highly recommend her going forward!”

“We used the Ondaytrip services from Budapest to Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. We can't speak highly enough of this company and most particularly their great driver Georg. He picked us up from our accommodation right on time and drove us for the next nearly 11 hours to Plitvice lakes with great care and professionalism. He thorough knowledge of the area together with the history is remarkable. Any questions he had he was able to answer with confidence and humour. He took us to various places of interest along the way, making the trip very interesting. His english was excellent. He is a lovely, kind young man who ensured our comfort at all times and delivered us happily to the door of our accommodation in Plitvice Lakes. This is a young company and both my husband and I would recommend them 100%.”
