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. You can also book on our Daytrip app, which is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

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.
Varadero is generally very safe with low violent crime rates. The main precautions involve protecting belongings on the beach, staying hydrated in the tropical sun, and being aware of ocean conditions. Tourist police patrol resort areas regularly for visitor safety.
Key attractions include pristine Varadero Beach, Ambrosio Cave with ancient drawings, Varadero Golf Club, Saturno Cave cenote for swimming, and nearby Matanzas city for cultural experiences. Catamaran trips and diving excursions explore the beautiful surrounding coral reefs.
Cuba uses the Cuban peso (CUP) as its official currency. Bring cash in euros, Canadian dollars, or other major currencies to exchange, as US credit cards have limited acceptance. Exchange money at official locations for the best rates and keep receipts.
Spanish is the official language throughout Cuba. English is spoken at some tourist facilities and by guides, but learning basic Spanish phrases will greatly enhance your experience and help you connect with local people throughout the country.
Cubans are friendly and music-loving people. Dress appropriately when visiting towns outside resorts, respect photography restrictions, and be patient with service speeds. Tipping is important for service workers, and bringing small gifts for locals is appreciated but not expected.
Internet access in Cuba is limited and often slow. Many resorts offer WiFi, but connections can be unreliable. Purchase internet cards for public WiFi hotspots in town. Consider informing family and friends about limited connectivity before traveling to manage expectations.
Cuban specialties include ropa vieja (shredded beef), moros y cristianos (black beans and rice), lechon (roasted pork), fresh seafood, and tropical fruits. Don't miss trying Cuban coffee, mojitos, and local rum while enjoying beachfront dining experiences.
Varadero enjoys excellent weather year-round, but the best time is November through April during the dry season. Temperatures are comfortable, humidity is lower, and rainfall is minimal. Summer months are hotter and more humid with occasional afternoon showers.
