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.

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 Ystad
Yes. If you are traveling between Malmö and another destination in Skåne, or passing through the region, Ystad works well as an en-route stop rather than a dedicated day trip. Daytrip drivers are local and can point out what is worth your time based on how long you have. You choose the stops and the pace, and the driver will have the car ready when you are done exploring, so there is no need to watch a train timetable or arrange a separate return journey.
Ystad is approximately 60 km (37 miles) east of Malmö and around 115 km (71 miles) from Copenhagen. By private transfer, the drive from Malmö takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. From Copenhagen, factor in around 1.5 to 2 hours, including the crossing via the Øresund Bridge. A Daytrip transfer takes care of both legs, so you can focus on the town rather than the logistics.
A full day is enough to cover Ystad's highlights without feeling rushed. The medieval center is compact and walkable, so you can explore the cobblestone streets, step inside St Mary's Church, and wander past the half-timbered houses within a few hours. Fans of the Wallander detective series will want extra time to visit the filming locations around town. If you plan to catch the ferry to Bornholm as part of your trip, build that into a longer itinerary.
St Mary's Church is the natural anchor point, a well-preserved medieval church at the heart of the old town with roots going back to the 12th century. Nearby, the Greyfriars Monastery is one of the best-preserved medieval monasteries in Scandinavia and worth taking time to explore. The streets radiating out from the center, lined with half-timbered houses in shades of ochre and red, are worth wandering without a fixed agenda. Stora Östergatan is where you will find most of the cafes and shops when you are ready to stop and eat.
The Swedish television series Wallander, based on Henning Mankell's novels, was filmed extensively in and around Ystad, and the town embraces that connection. Visitors can follow the trail of filming locations through the old town, including sites tied directly to the character and storylines. Ystad Studios, where much of the production took place, adds another layer for dedicated fans. Even travelers unfamiliar with the show tend to find the atmospheric streets and waterfront setting immediately recognizable from Nordic noir productions.
Ystad spent centuries under Danish rule before passing to Sweden in 1658, and that history is visible everywhere. The architecture looks closer to a Danish market town than a typical Swedish one, with colorful half-timbered buildings dating back to the 15th century lining the streets. Add a remarkably intact medieval monastery, a night watchman tradition that has been maintained for over 700 years, and a coastal setting on the Baltic, and Ystad stands apart as one of Skåne's most distinctive stops.
2+ million travelers like you. Moments they'll never forget.
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.
