Daytrip is a private car service platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
Daytrip offers private door-to-door transfers with optional sightseeing stops, hourly driver hire, and curated day trips — all with local English-speaking drivers and operating across 130+ countries.
For private trips, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure.

Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Miri
Miri sits near the northern coast of Sarawak, close to the Brunei border. Travelers connecting from elsewhere on the island can reach Miri overland, though journey times vary significantly depending on origin and road conditions. Lambir Hills National Park is a short 30 to 40 minute drive. Niah Caves typically take around 1.5 to 2 hours each way. For longer cross-border routes, a private transfer is significantly more practical than public options, since you travel directly without transfers or waiting at intermediate stops.
For most travelers, a day is enough to capture what makes Miri distinctive. The city is compact and its top cultural sites cluster within a manageable range. Canada Hill, the Petroleum Museum, the temple district, and the seafront can all be covered comfortably without rushing. What makes Miri stand out is that combination of layers: a modern oil city, a multicultural food scene, and natural surroundings within easy reach. Day trippers who arrive with a clear plan consistently leave having seen the highlights, not the leftovers.
Miri rewards a well-planned day trip. Start at Canada Hill for sweeping views over the city and the South China Sea, then walk through the Petroleum Museum to understand the oil boom that built modern Miri. From there, the San Ching Tian Temple and the Esplanade Beach at Luak Bay offer a calm counterpoint to the city's energy. If you want to push further, Lambir Hills National Park sits roughly 30 km (19 miles) from the city center and adds waterfalls and rainforest trails to your itinerary. A private transfer lets you move between these spots on your own schedule, with no timetables forcing you to cut anything short.
Niah Caves, located approximately 110 km (68 miles) southwest of Miri, is the standout choice for travelers who want something extraordinary. The caves contain human remains and rock art dating back around 40,000 years, making this one of Southeast Asia's most significant prehistoric sites. The journey through the cave system and across the plank walk through the rainforest is unlike anything in the region. Expect to spend most of your day here, so book your transfer early and plan your return accordingly. Having a private driver waiting means you control when you head back, not a bus schedule.
Miri's main attractions are spread across the city and its surroundings, so having reliable point-to-point transport makes a significant difference. Taxis and ride-hailing apps exist but can be inconsistent for longer excursions like Niah Caves or Tusan Beach, which sits roughly 40 km (25 miles) from the city center. A private transfer solves this by giving you a professional driver for the full day, which means no waiting, no rebooking mid-trip, and no explaining your itinerary to multiple drivers. For a destination where the best experiences require driving into the surrounding landscape, that consistency is not a luxury, it is practical.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
