Great transfer option.

“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Day Trip from Zagreb to Vienna then onto Prague

“I recently used DayTrip to move a group of us - 9 in total. It was such a good service, door to door was the way to go, and no baggage hassles. I had to book a Van and a Car, to fit us all, but I also booked some extended stop times to make the journey more pleasant. We wanted to stop along the way and have a wine tour and lunch and the drivers were so obliging making sure we knew where they would be parking while they waited for us and so on. I found all my contact with the office leading up to our departure date to also be very helpful, and they even sent me a photo of the drivers and their actual mobiles as well just before the day which was great to have. I will definitely be using them again and I am already recommending them to other fellow travellers. The drivers were very safe, courteous and had clean comfortable vehicles. Well done Day Trip.- see you on my next trip- thankyou”

Best service, value for money and the only way to travel in Europe

“We had the pleasure of using the Daytrip company for a trip from Zagreb to Vienna - having short stops in Ptuj,Graz and Liechtenstein Castle- just the best decision - Davor,our amazing driver and tour guide, was waiting - we were a few minutes early and Davor and his gleaming, wonderfully comfortable car was there - bags packed away and off we set. It was lovely to sit back and not have to drive - we drove for 11 days in Croatia - not an issue but with Daytrip we did not have to think just sit back and enjoy the scenery and the interesting discussions. Loved the three places we visited but in hindsight - being always a lot clearer, we may have just had 2 stop offs as Graz and the castle were possibly the highlights. Did we feel safe? Absolutely Did we have fun? Absolutely Would we us this company again? - yes we have another 3 trips booked with this company- as we move from place to place in Austria and Germany. We are just hoping the service that Davor provided is mirrored in the next three trips - I am so sure that they will!! Davor was excellent - interesting, great sense of humour, so knowledgeable, safe driver, brilliant car with enough room for 3 adults, bags and sundry gear we all carry on a long trip. Thank you so much - we had the best journey from the wonderful Zagreb to the amazing Vienna.”

Excellent and safe service from Vienna to Zagreb

“At the beginning I was super skeptical of booking a day trip transfer with this company because I had never heard of them. I got past my skepticism when I saw that it would be considerably less than booking a train or air ticket for our family if 6 traveling from Vienna to Zagreb. The trip was actually fantastic and Daniel our driver was great. No complaints at all. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable of all the roads and drives very safely. He is also very professional and polite. The car is in excellent condition and it was a very comfortable ride. I had not crossed borders in Europe in a long time by car and because Croatia is part of The EU but not part of the passport free treaty, I had no idea there would be a wait at the border with Slovenia. Daniel let us know as soon as we got in the car so that there would be no surprises. I was amazed at the professionalism of this driver and the comfort of the ride. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to other travelers at all.”

Traveling from Vienna to Zagreb

“4 of traveled from Vienna to Zagreb with Marijo. We were promptly picked up at our hotel at the given time. The vehicle in which we traveled was clean, comfortable and spacious. Marijo was personable and sensitive to our needs. We had prearranged a stop in Graz which was lovely and interesting. Our lunch stop was near a small mountain lake Marijo had suggested. It was near where Arnold Schwarzenegger grew up.... a bonus! - thank you, Marijo! We were very comfortable with Marijo's driving. We arrived in Zagreb at a good time. The trip could not have been better! Thank you for your company's great service - Keep up the good work!!”

DayTrip service from Vienna to Zagreb

“The trip could not have gone any better! The driver was very prompt in picking us up in Vienna and very courteous throughout the trip. I was amazed that he drove from Budapest that morning to pick us up in Vienna. The vehicle was clean and of good size for us. He was a very safe driver (much better than me!). He was a great conversationalist with a broad knowledge about the area and was very willing to address any question that we could pose about living in Hungary and travelling in Europe. We spent as much time as we wanted during our scheduled stop in Maribor, Slovenia and he gave us some ideas about the remainder of our trip after he dropped us off in Zagreb. Frankly, we were a little skeptical and nervous about using Daytrip between Vienna and Zagreb but it was by far a great decision and the best way we could have made that journey considering the time involved with a train (or bus) ride and the expense of renting a car in Austria and driving it to Zagreb. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to use your service again! Best Regards, Bob St. Louis, MO USA”
