Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.
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.

About Matera
After your trip from coastal Amalfi to Matera, you will immerse yourself in this incredible ancient city, ranked as the European Capital of Culture in 2019 and recognized as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world (second to Petra, Jordan.) This unforgettable city is sometimes called a “second Bethlehem” due to its resemblance to a small nativity scene and its rich history.

Matera is most famous for its ancient caves, called the “Sassi,” which were dug into the side of the mountains and inhabited by locals up until the 1950s. The settlements date back to the Paleolithic era, with recovered artifacts dating back to 7,500 BC. Over the centuries, the city became an important center for trade and transportation along the southern coast and was eventually settled by the Normans and later the Aragonese.
The Sassi were evacuated by law in 1952 after becoming severely overcrowded and denoted the “shame of Italy.” Locals were required to move into new developments in the city, but the caves remain and act as a preserved glimpse into the ancient lives of the Materan citizens. The city is so integrated within the mountain that the most famous sites are its rock and cave churches, as well as its many tightly winding alleyways, gardens, and tunnels.
The city boasts incredible examples of ancient art and architecture, as well as romantic and Renaissance influences in its frescoed churches and intricately designed properties. For the foodie traveler, the cuisine is unique to the region and includes dishes such as* pignata, *which is mutton, and vegetables topped with pizza dough and baked in a clay pot.

Visitors can explore the troglodyte settlements and learn more about their construction and the way of life for the people who lived there for millennia from ancient times through to the 1950s.

This is a great way to better understand the context in which the Sassi would have existed with the newer developments in the city, and is also the perfect place to watch the sunset.
Palombaro Lungo

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
