Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

Can I book a same-day trip?

Yes, you can use our [day trips](/day-trips) service to book your same-day excursion to and from your accommodation. Just select your city and choose from one of our hand-curated day trips to places you would otherwise miss without a car. Get all of the benefits of a day trip without having to plan each minor detail! If you can’t find what you’re looking for, use our [custom request form](/custom-route) to build your own day trip.

I did not find the destination I need to travel to/from on your website, can you still take me there?

If your desired route is not listed on our website, don't worry! You can request a custom trip! We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, and maybe even add it as a regular route!

What type of vehicle will I get?

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.

Will my sightseeing stop be open?

We can’t guarantee that every attraction will be open for every trip, especially during the off-season. We recommend checking the opening hours in advance. If you have any questions about your trip, feel free to [contact our customer service department](mailto:daytrip@daytrip.com).

Where will my driver pick me up?

Your driver can pick you up at your hotel, apartment, cruise ship dock, or any other pick-up point accessible by car. This applies to your drop-off location as well. No need to worry about buses, cabs, or other connections - Daytrip provides door-to-door service! If you happen to be in a pedestrian-only area, your driver will meet you at a designated pick-up location.

Will my driver call me to confirm pick-up?

Your driver will meet you at the agreed time and place and won’t be contacting you before, unless necessary. You’ll receive a reminder with your driver’s name and mobile number a few days before departure in case you need to contact them.

Will my driver speak English and be a tour guide?

Daytrip partner drivers speak English as well as their native language. While they'll be happy to discuss their own personal knowledge of the areas you'll be driving through, they are not tour guides. If you need a professional tour guide for your sightseeing stop(s) you will need to make third-party arrangements. We do offer a non-English speaking service on certain routes where the drivers will meet all other standards.

Why haven’t I received any emails from Daytrip?

We send a confirmation email immediately after you place your order, and an email with your driver’s details a few days before your trip. If you haven’t received any emails from us, it’s possible there’s a typo with your email address or they are going to your spam folder. If you haven’t received any emails, this does NOT mean your trip is canceled! To update your contact information, please [contact us](mailto:daytrip@daytrip.com).

Is it safe to travel with Daytrip?

All our drivers must submit his/her criminal and traffic record. We interview each driver. All cars must be less than ten years old, in excellent operating condition, and insured as required by local law. Drivers must provide us with the registration, insurance and technical inspection record of the car. And because our drivers are locals, they're familiar with the rules and customs of the road. We believe this provides a safer, more relaxing experience for you.

You can pay in advance via credit card or in cash directly to your driver. You can use the button at the top of the page to switch the currency, but you will be charged in Euros or USD, depending on the country where your trip takes place. Your bank may use a different exchange rate. For cash trips over 200 USD, we ask a deposit of up to 25% that goes towards the price of your trip. Once you book your trip, you’ll see a message to pay the deposit in your client portal on our website and app, as well as in your email inbox. If the deposit is not paid by 24 hours before your trip, it will be cancelled.

What's included in the price? Are there any additional fees?

The quoted price is final and there are no additional fees for our services. However, optional third party activities such as tours or attraction fees are not included in the price. Rest assured there will be no surprises or additional fees from Daytrip.

How can I make changes to my booking?

You can make changes to your itinerary, including adding or changing sightseeing stops, free of charge up to 36 hours before departure (some changes may affect the price of the trip). If you need to make a last-minute change less than 36 hours before departure, we’ll do our best to accommodate it (additional fees may apply). To make changes, simply log in to your booking on the website, use the Daytrip app, or [contact us](mailto:daytrip@daytrip.com). For flexible Pool bookings, you must [contact us](mailto:daytrip@daytrip.com) to make changes.

What is your cancellation policy?

For private trips, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24 hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15 minutes before departure.

Is gratuity included/expected?

Gratuity is not included in the price of your booking. If you are satisfied with your driver’s service, you can reward them with a tip according to local tipping culture (20% is standard for the USA, 10% is sufficient for the rest of the world)

Can I request a smoke-free car?

We strive to make your trip as comfortable as possible, and the air you breathe in the car is an important part of this. All drivers are required to keep their cars smoke-free, and generally as scent-neutral as possible. Which means no smoke, no dust, and no air fresheners.

Can I bring my pet with me?

Yes, we’re happy to accommodate your animal companion! Please let us know in advance if you will be traveling with pets, including service and emotional support animals, so we can ensure there will be enough space for you, your pet, and your luggage in the vehicle. If you don’t inform us in advance, we can’t guarantee that your driver will be able to accommodate you or offer any refund. Pets are not allowed in shared shuttles.

How do I delete my personal data?

If you booked with us through our website, please send a request to [daytrip@daytrip.com](mailto:daytrip@daytrip.com) and we will gladly remove all your personal information. If you use the Daytrip iOS app, click "Delete my account" in your profile and the system will automatically remove your personal data from our database.

My payment failed, how can I fix it?

If your payment did not go through, please try again with a different card (we accept Visa, Mastercard, and AmEx). If you are still having trouble, please [contact us](mailto:daytrip@daytrip.com).

Will the driver provide a child car seat?

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.

What happens if my flight is being delayed?

Your driver will wait up to 60 minutes for airport pickups in case of delay, but please make sure to contact our support team as soon as you learn of the delay. We’ll do our best to accommodate your new arrival time. Shared shuttles are unable to wait past the pick-up window.

What if I need more time at the stop on the day?

We understand that sometimes it’s hard to tear yourself away from your sightseeing stop. If you find you’d like extra time, please make arrangements with your driver. There will be an hourly fee based on the country in which you are traveling. While they’ll do their best to accommodate, sometimes their schedule won’t allow for them to stay longer.

Can I bring extra/unplanned passengers or luggage if my vehicle has space?

Your vehicle is assigned based on the number of passengers and luggage selected during booking. Even if a van can seat 7, booking for 5 means the vehicle is planned for that number, and extra space is not guaranteed. Changes depend on availability—you’re welcome to ask, and we’ll check, but we can’t guarantee adjustments within 36 hours of your trip.!

What types of wheelchairs can be accommodated?

Our vehicles can only accommodate foldable wheelchairs, with size limitations depending on luggage. Sedan: up to 2 passengers + standard luggage + 1 foldable wheelchair. MPV: up to 3 passengers + standard luggage + 1 foldable wheelchair. Van: up to 6 passengers + standard luggage + 1 foldable wheelchair. Unfortunately, motorized wheelchairs cannot be accommodated, as our vehicles do not have ramps, lifts, or specialized interiors.

Our drivers are available 24/7, so you can book a trip at the time that suits your needs. And if you ever need assistance, our Customer Service team is available around the clock.

Know more about traveling from Salzburg

Classical music is central to Salzburg's identity as Mozart's birthplace. The city hosts numerous concerts year-round, with the famous Salzburg Festival in summer being a major highlight. Many venues offer daily concerts, from intimate chamber music to grand opera. Booking concert tickets in advance is recommended, especially during festival season.

Salzburg's historic center is very walkable and compact, with most major attractions within easy reach on foot. The old town features some cobblestone streets and hills leading to the fortress, which may be challenging for wheelchairs and strollers. However, funicular railways and elevators help access higher areas.

Salzburg is extremely safe for visitors with very low crime rates. Violent crime is virtually non-existent against visitors. Exercise normal precautions against pickpockets in crowded tourist areas. The city center is well-lit and safe to walk around at any time of day or night.

Tipping in Salzburg restaurants is customary, typically 5-10% of the bill for good service. Round up to the nearest euro or add a few euros. Give tips directly to servers rather than leaving cash on tables. In cafes, rounding up is common, while taxi drivers appreciate small tips or rounding up the fare.

Austria uses the euro as its official currency. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, but smaller establishments and traditional cafes often prefer cash. ATMs are readily available throughout the city center, and it's wise to carry some euros for tips and smaller purchases.

German is the official language, with a distinctive Austrian dialect. English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions. Many locals, especially younger people and those in the tourism industry, speak excellent English. Learning basic German greetings is appreciated by locals.

Must-try Austrian specialties include Wiener Schnitzel, Salzburger Nockerl (sweet souffle), Apfelstrudel, and Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake). Visit a traditional Kaffeehouse for coffee culture and cakes like Sachertorte. Don't miss local beer varieties and seasonal dishes featuring game and hearty Alpine ingredients.

The best time to visit Salzburg is late spring through early fall (May to September). Summer offers the warmest weather and music festival season but brings crowds. Spring and fall provide pleasant temperatures with fewer visitors. Winter can be magical with Christmas markets and possible snow, though some attractions may have limited hours.
