Travel Resources

Below are the travel companies Tozome editors use for all of their trips. When you purchase something through some of these links we get a little kickback but you pay the same, win-win!

Finding cheap flights

Saving on the price of a flight ticket is a massive budget-saver. There are quite a few tricks to find the cheapest flight tickets, but it starts with research.

  • Skyscanner
    This is our go-to tool when it comes to booking a flight. It is a flight comparison tool with very useful tools of the price of a flight per day.
  • Google Flights
    Google Flights allows users to search for and compare flight prices from multiple airlines and travel providers. Their customisable search filters, and price tracking features make it a convenient tool for finding affordable flights. The map tool is particularly useful when you’re looking to fly ‘anywhere’ from your current destination.

Transportation

When it comes to getting around a destination our editors either travel by rental car, bus or train.

  • 12Go (Public Transport)
    Whether you need a train, bus or private shuttle, 12Go offer a bit of everything at many destinations around the world.
  • Discover Cars (Rental Cars)
    Discover Car Hire is a price comparison website for hiring a car in just about any country in the world. Instead of visiting multiple websites, it shows you the availability, prices and options for different cars and allow you to rent one in one seamless move, with the contract clearly explained and most important points highlighted.

    For peace of mind, you can also buy a car insurance directly with Discover Cars. Which can be much cheaper than purchasing it from elsewhere.

  • Trainline (Public Transport)
    Trainline allows you to buy tickets and manage your journey for multiple train operators in over 40 European countries, together in one place.
  • Omio
    Omio is a travel comparison site that helps users find the most suitable transport method for their journey. The concept is very similar to Skyscanner, however, Omio not only searches for flights but for trains, cars, buses, and even ferries.

Purchasing a visa

Applying for a visa might be necessary when traveling to a new destination. iVisa can help you with the application process. They provide a service to directly order your visa and have it all ready within a relatively short period of time depending on the country you are visiting without any hassle.
