Great communication with an actual person! They will take you ANYWHERE, No pre-set routes to choose from!

Last minute plan change and Daytrip was our last resort so I chatted with them and had an immediate response from a real person, best situation ever. Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.

Jordan Daytrip

We used Daytrip to travel from Amman, Jordan to Petra, Jordan. Along the way our driver stopped in Madaba and Mt Nebo to show us the sights and he took a scenic drive along the Dead Sea. Overall we had a very nice drive and would highly recommend Daytrip.

Great car service

We used Daytrip for van rides from Amman Jordan to Petra and back to the airport. The drivers were very professional, knowledgeable, and spoke English very well.

Easy way to travel without doing the driving

We used Daytrip to get us from Amman Jordan to Petra and back again. The drivers arrived at the right place, were on time, friendly, and professional. It was an easy no hassle way to make the 3 hour trip on one day and back the next!

The Daytrip driver advantage

Daytrip driver
  • Local knowledge about the route from Amman to Petra
    Including available sights:
  • English speaking*

    All Daytrip drivers speak English* as well as their native language (and sometimes additional languages too!). They'll be happy to discuss local history and culture with you, as well as answer any questions you may have. And because they speak the language, they're able to provide you with a unique opportunity to connect with local culture. *Drivers for Lite service aren't required to speak English but must meet all other standards.

  • Safety first!

    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.

  • Experts on the route from Amman to Petra

Flexible cancellation policy
