Transport and luggage for travelers
Arriving stress-free is the first experience of your journey. We cover the three most frustrating moments of any trip: arriving at the airport, check-out day, and the route that deserves to be driven by car or motorcycle.
Logistics is your first experience
Negotiating with an unknown taxi driver at midnight in a foreign airport, dragging luggage between an 11 AM check-out and an 8 PM flight, or figuring out how to reach a remote village without public transport: these are the moments where journeys break down. The tools in this section were curated to eliminate them one by one.
From the airport to your stay
The airport transfer sets the emotional tone of your journey. Doing it right costs only slightly more than a taxi, but the difference in experience is abysmal.
Welcome Pickups: Arrive like a VIP
Forget negotiating with taxi drivers or haggling over fares. A local driver waits for you at arrivals, monitors your flight, and takes you straight to your hotel for the same price as a standard taxi.
Multi-vehicle rental
If your flight fails, don't let it become your problem. In Europe, the EC 261/2004 Regulation guarantees up to €600 in compensation if your flight is canceled or delayed by more than 3 hours. The issue: claiming it is a bureaucratic process airlines designed to make you give up. AirHelp handles it for you.
SEARADAR: Yacht and sailboat rental
Explore the planet from the water. The ultimate concierge service for renting yachts and catamarans. Sailing often proves more affordable and private than a conventional hotel, offering the ocean as your backyard.
BikesBooking: Sustainable mobility on two wheels
Feel the city at your own pace. The world’s largest booking network for bicycles, electric scooters, and motorcycles. The most ecological and local way to navigate alleys where cars cannot reach.
LocalRent: The secret to renting without a deposit
Local cars, zero stress. Connect directly with verified local agencies across Europe and the Middle East. No massive deposits, no credit card holds, and a highly personalized experience.
EconomyBookings: The global vehicle arsenal
All vehicles, in one place. Instantly compare the inventory of over 800 agencies (Hertz, Alamo, Sixt) across 150 countries to secure the lowest guaranteed rate.
Luggage storage
Check-out: 11 AM. Flight: 8 PM. Nine hours with luggage. This is the most common and stressful situation in international travel. Radical Storage solves it with a 2-minute booking.
Radical Storage: Freedom for your final day
Smart luggage storage. Don’t let your bags dictate your itinerary. Turn local cafes and hotels into secure lockers. Pay a fixed fee of €5 a day and savor your final travel hours completely hands-free.
Why did we curate these options?
1. Welcome Pickups
The most stressful moment of any journey is the first 45 minutes after landing in an unfamiliar country. Welcome Pickups completely eliminates that friction. They assign you a local driver, track your flight to seamlessly adjust to delays without charging extras, and payment is made securely online beforehand.
Ideal for: Early morning arrivals, family trips, and cities with strong language barriers (like Athens or Tokyo).
✨ Space Journey Editor’s Note: It’s not just a transfer, it’s a welcoming introduction to the city. Their drivers act as local ambassadors: during the ride, they give you the best insider tips for your destination.
2. Searadar
Renting a yacht used to be a logistical headache exclusively reserved for millionaires. SEARADAR democratizes it by operating as a global concierge. They have access to thousands of vessels and assist you for free in planning the route, finding a captain (if you don’t know how to sail), and even organizing the catering.
Ideal for: Trips with groups of friends, getaways around the Mediterranean, Croatia, or the Caribbean, and any traveler looking to drastically elevate the quality of their experience.
✨ Space Journey Editor’s Note: The absolute pinnacle of privacy and travel design. Waking up in a hidden cove, away from the tourist crowds, is the ultimate modern luxury. SEARADAR makes it as easy as booking a plane ticket.
3. BikesBooking
The best parts of cities like Amsterdam, Rome, or Bali are never seen from the back seat of an Uber. BikesBooking allows you to secure your bicycle or motorcycle, guaranteeing availability even in high season and offering much better rates than street rentals.
Ideal for: Travelers looking to reduce their carbon footprint and completely bypass the traffic of tourist areas.
✨ Space Journey Editor’s Note: We strongly promote the use of light vehicles because they transform the journey: you go from being a spectator behind glass to being an active inhabitant of the city.
4. LocalRent
Large rental multinationals usually block hundreds of dollars on your card as a deposit. LocalRent changes the rules of the game by working exclusively with highly reputable local companies in destinations like Spain, Greece, the UAE, or Montenegro. They allow you to pay the deposit in cash or require minimal deposits (sometimes even zero).
Ideal for: Travelers who don’t want to compromise their credit card limit or who prefer the warm treatment and low prices of local agencies compared to cold corporations.
✨ Space Journey Editor’s Note: Supporting local commerce is a core part of our philosophy. LocalRent gives you the real local prices, injecting your money directly into the economy of the city you are visiting.
5. EconomyBookings
Renting a vehicle right at the airport counter is the perfect recipe for overpaying. EconomyBookings acts as a massive aggregator that filters options from reputable companies and transparently shows you the policies before you ever take out your credit card.
Ideal for: Scenic road trips and travelers planning to leave the big cities behind to explore nature.
✨ Space Journey Editor’s Note: We love its gimmick-free interface. It actively blocks the typical cross-selling ‘surprises’ that agencies try to force on you at the counter.
6. Radical Storage
Dragging a 20-kilo suitcase while trying to kill time is the worst way to end a journey. This network solves the classic ‘logistical gap’ between check-out and your flight. Everything is booked seamlessly via the app, and your luggage is guaranteed up to €3,000.
Ideal for: The first and final day of your trip, or for long layovers in connected cities.
✨ Space Journey Editor’s Note: Pure logistical elegance. Paying €5 to gain an additional 8 hours of hands-free exploration is the best investment you can make to fully enjoy your destination.
