Une excellente communication avec une vraie personne ! Ils vous emmèneront PARTOUT, sans itinéraires prédéfinis.

“Changement de plan de dernière minute et Daytrip était notre dernier recours, alors j'ai discuté avec eux et j'ai eu une réponse immédiate d'une vraie personne, la meilleure situation possible. Nous n'avions jamais utilisé Daytrip auparavant, mais les avis étaient incroyables, alors nous avons tenté notre chance et réservé un chauffeur vers 23h-00h. À 7h du matin, quand nous nous sommes réveillés, ils nous avaient déjà trouvé un chauffeur, et le chauffeur nous avait déjà envoyé un SMS pour nous contacter ! Très impressionnés et nous les utiliserons certainement à nouveau. Nous sommes allés de Dubrovnik, Croatie, à Tivat, Monténégro..”

Private car service from Le Havre to Paris after the World Cup game 6/20

“With no other options, we booked Day Trip to take us from Le Havre to Paris after the US v. Sweden game on 6/20. Faycal was our driver - he was very communicative throughout. We met him at a designated spot and the two hour drive was effortless. Excellent driver, impeccable vehicle and great service!”

Great way to get to or from Paris and Le Havre if cruising.

“We used day trip for several trips last fall including Croatia and Austria. I was thrilled to learn that they had expanded to France for our trip this spring. We had wonderful trips both directions before and after our cruise port in Le Havre, visiting Mont St Michel one way and Normandy the other. Both drivers were professional and so accommodating. Thiandella who took us to Normandy went above and beyond to make sure the day was exactly what we wanted. Day trip remains our first choice for transfers in Europe!”
