Travelling alone—whether by plane, train, or coach—can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even frightening. DayFriend Travel Assist connects you with trusted companions who stay right beside you from start to finish, making every journey calmer, simpler, and safer.
What Is Travel Assist? We match you with Enhanced DBS checked companions to accompany you during any journey—air, rail, or coach. They meet you at your agreed point and stay with you until you reach your destination.
Important: Companions do not drive you or provide transport. You arrange and pay for your own travel; they meet you at the station, airport, or your doorstep and travel alongside you.
