Day trips, excursions & intercity
Beyond the city.
Driver takes you there.
Book a private driver to take you to a destination outside the city — and back. A castle, a national park, a neighbouring city or a cross-border destination. Driver waits on site while you explore, then brings you home.
Where this fits in your trip
Day trips fit into the middle of a longer stay — when you want to see more than the city you’re based in, but don’t want to rent a car, navigate unfamiliar roads or deal with parking. Central Europe is particularly well-suited: from Prague you can reach Olomouc, Karlovy Vary or Český Krumlov in under 3 hours. From Vienna: Bratislava in 1 hour, Salzburg in 3. This service also works as a one-way intercity transfer if you’re moving on to your next destination — just without the return leg.
Real-world examples
How travellers use this service in practice
Prague → Český Krumlov (day trip)
Leave Prague at 9am. 3-hour drive through South Bohemia. Driver drops you at the castle gate and parks in town. You explore at your own pace — castle, old town, riverside. Back in Prague by 7pm. No train connections, no bus timetables.
Vienna → Salzburg (day trip)
Early start from Vienna, 3 hours each way. Full day in Salzburg — Mirabell Gardens, fortress, Getreidegasse. Driver available for a brief detour to Hallstatt on the way back. Home by 9pm.
Budapest → Lake Balaton
Family trip to the lake shore. Driver drops at the harbour village, picks up 5 hours later. Children swim, parents walk. No parking stress, no checking bus schedules.
Prague → Vienna (one-way intercity)
End of a Prague stay. Rather than fly, a 4-hour private transfer through the Austrian border, arriving at the Vienna hotel. Luggage in the boot, no check-in, no airport stress.
What's included
Everything you get with every booking
Driver waits on site
Unlike a transfer, the driver stays at your destination and picks you up when you’re ready. No need to arrange separate return transport.
Fixed price, return included
One price covers both legs — out and back. Distance, border crossings and waiting time are all included.
Cross-border within Europe
Our drivers handle EU and Schengen border crossings. No extra complexity for trips between neighbouring countries.
Your pace, your timing
You decide when to leave and when to return. We suggest typical durations, but the schedule is yours.
Vetted, experienced drivers
Long-distance and cross-border runs require different experience. Our drivers know these routes.
One-way option available
If you’re moving on to your next destination, book without the return. The intercity service at the end of your stay.

Common questions
What passengers ask most about this service
How long does the driver wait?
As long as you need within reason — the waiting time is included in the fixed price. For very long waits (over 8 hours), we’ll agree a specific arrangement at booking.
Can I book a day trip across a border?
Yes. Cross-border day trips within the EU and Schengen area are standard. The driver handles the crossing; you need your travel documents.
What if I want to make a stop on the way?
Short stops (20–30 minutes) on route are fine — mention it in the notes. For extended multi-stop days, consider the chauffeur-by-hour service.
Can I book without the return (one-way)?
Yes. If you’re continuing your trip and not returning to the origin city, a one-way intercity transfer is available.
What’s the maximum distance for a day trip?
Practically speaking, up to about 3–4 hours each way works well for a day. Beyond that, the day becomes mostly driving. For longer distances, an overnight stay at the destination makes more sense.
