With the latest funding round, Daytrip, that offers private transfers with English-speaking drivers and optional sightseeing stops, will be able to keep improving its platform, expand into new nations, including the US, and forge strategic alliances with important players in the industry.

Tomáš Turek, Co-Founder and CEO of Daytrip said, “We have truly global goals with Daytrip and it is so satisfying to see the brand’s expanding footprint and positive impact as we are now available in more than 110 countries worldwide, Daytrip started with the idea that people want more than a transfer, they want an experience when going places and we are excited that our customers are choosing us for this reason and that our new investor, Taiwania Capital, believes in our product and supports us as we open the platform to millions of travelers around the world.”

Mitch Yang, Managing Partner at Taiwania Capital said, “Daytrip’s innovative platform boasts optional sightseeing stops, enabling travelers to explore captivating destinations along their route, making every journey an adventure, Taiwania Capital’s support in this funding round demonstrates our strong belief in Daytrip’s mission and potential to reinvent the travel experience. With our expertise, industry insights, and global network, Taiwania Capital will play a pivotal role in accelerating Daytrip’s growth and facilitating its expansion into new markets.”

Travellers get this unique experience with Daytrip. Enabling travellers to add stops to their transfers minimises overtourism by giving them the opportunity to "escape" congested tourist destinations and enjoy a more sedate experience in smaller, yet equally stunning towns.

Markéta Bláhová, Co-Founder and COO of Daytrip said, “Traveling is picking up again and in fact, data show that American travelers are about to take as many, or even more international trips in 2024 compared to last year, People are looking to explore countries they were not able to travel to during the pandemic, they are more willing to spend their money on unique travel experiences and immerse themselves into the local cultures. And Daytrip is ready to help them achieve that.”

About Daytrip

Daytrip believed there had to be a better option for getting between cities than public transit, so they established Daytrip in 2015. They therefore devised a superior solution: door-to-door transportation in a private vehicle driven by skilled English-speaking drivers.
