Our story

Where borders become bridges

DriveMonk helps travellers connect the dots between the places they have always wanted to see -- one road trip at a time.

A road trip company born in Amsterdam

DriveMonk started as a personal project when our founders realised that every European road trip planning tool was either built for Americans or buried inside a general travel app with no respect for the rhythm of driving. We built the thing we wanted to use -- a dedicated road trip planner built around the car, the route, and the stops worth making.

For the road-tripper

Built for road trippers, by road trippers

Every itinerary on DriveMonk has been driven. Every hotel, winery, and castle in our listings has been visited by a member of our team or contributed by a verified community member. We do not scrape. We do not aggregate. We curate.
