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 Sarajevo
Although Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina share a border and a long history, getting from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo makes one realize the two cities and countries are quite distinct. Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, stands at the crossroads of various empires and cultures that are so different from each other.
Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian influences left a lasting imprint on the city’s architectural and cultural landscape, which can be felt by each visitor. Baščaršija, the old town, and the Latin Bridge are remnants of Turkish rule, while the Sacred Heart Cathedral and Orthodox churches belong to the city's “Jerusalem of Europe” quality.
In Sarajevo, you’ll stand where East meets West and witness a cultural coexistence like you’ve never before. And you’ll get the chance to explore Sarajevo beyond its military conflict.

“This was our first time using MyDayTrip and it was outstanding. We received prompt and clear communication from the start and through the day of our trip. Our driver was on time and absolutely fantastic. This was such a great way to explore a region—we decided to make four stops at incredible sights along the way. We will definitely be using this service again for future trips to Europe and SE Asia!”
“We were surprised to find that getting ourselves from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo was not straightforward. We didn't want to fly back through Zagreb and spend all day flying/waiting/flying and we wanted to see some of the Bosnian countryside. We hired a car in Croatia but it became impossible, cost wise, to do a one-way trip ending in Sarajevo.
Searching the internet we cane across this famous service. While it was more expensive than we wished, it was excellent. Salih was a fabulous driver, he drove well, had a great sense of humour, was knowledgeable and his English was excellent.
We had a very comfortable and interesting trip.”
“My husband and I recently had Salih drive us from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik. I can’t speak highly enough about the comfortable car and Salih himself, his knowledge of everything and anything is amazing, being able to answer all of our questions. He was particularly invaluable when we arrived, as our Airbnb host had not contacted us to advise how to find our accommodation, which we would not have had a hope of finding if not for Salih, due to needing to go down several flights of stairs from the road to find it! Unlike Australia, it’s not as simple with just a house and a number on the letter box!! He was generous with his time to enable us to make contact, interpreting, etc. we can’t thank him enough. I would totally recommend this company if you want to make travelling between countries/cities much easier.”
“Daytrip was amazing and easy to use. We needed to get from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo, and didn't feel comfortable driving, etc. The website was super easy to use and we added a stop in Mostar online. The driver was prompt, very nice, and everything was perfect. We were a family of 5 with a ton of luggage and they sent a very large, nice Mercedes Van that was very comfortable. Highly recommend!!”
