¡Excelente comunicación con una persona real! Te llevarán A CUALQUIER LUGAR, sin rutas preestablecidas para elegir.

Un cambio de planes de último minuto y Daytrip fue nuestro último recurso, así que hablé con ellos y recibí una respuesta inmediata de una persona real, la mejor situación posible. Nunca habíamos usado Daytrip antes, pero las reseñas eran increíbles, así que nos arriesgamos y reservamos un conductor a eso de las 11-12 de la noche. A las 7 de la mañana siguiente, cuando despertamos, ya nos habían encontrado un conductor y el conductor ya nos había enviado un mensaje de texto para ponerse en contacto. Muy impresionados y definitivamente los usaremos de nuevo. Viajamos de Dubrovnik, Croacia, a Tivat, Montenegro.

Transporte Perfecto

Andreas hizo un gran trabajo recogiéndonos en el puerto de cruceros de El Pireo y llevándonos a nuestro alojamiento en Spata. Los tres veníamos de un largo crucero y teníamos 9 piezas de equipaje. Llegó con un vehículo adecuado y cargó y descargó todo el equipaje. Estamos muy contentos con nuestra decisión de reservar con Daytrip.

Superb service!

I booked a transfer in Costa Rica from Manuel Antonio to San Jose and it was fantastic! Our driver Rolando was on time (early in fact), new clean car and he had water and snacks for us. Conversation was great, and at my request, he brought me to a local lunch spot and it was delicious. I’d highly recommend this service. It’s easy to book and their communication throughout the process was excellent!

The Daytrip driver advantage

    We screen all our drivers for criminal and traffic records, and personally interview each one. We also inspect their cars for safety, comfort, and reliability. All cars must be less than ten years old, in excellent operating condition, and insured as required by local law. And because our drivers are locals, they're familiar with the rules and customs of the road.
