What is Navelio?

Navelio (www.navelio.com) is a search engine that displays direct travel routes all around the globe. Want to know how to get from Beijing to Shanghai? Or compare different transport options between London and Paris? Maybe you just want to find out the fastest way from Quebec City to Montreal? We have got them all covered. Air, rail, bus, ferry and even helicopter options are available on a user-friendly map. Just click and book. This makes travel planning so much easier.

Users of the website can add reviews on a given route, and upvote/downvote them. This helps other travellers to find out specific details about an upcoming trip, whether that that be food quality, wheelchair accessibility, seat preference, after-sales service, etc. Navelio also calculates the carbon footprint of every mode of transport on all routes. Thus, users who are looking to lessen the impact on the environment of their journey are empowered with this information before they book.

Navelio is unique because it only displays direct travel routes. It does not fabricate itineraries in search for profit or to promote a company above other ones. The price is not taken into account either, letting each user decide for herself/himself. Like an all-you-can-eat buffet, we present you with all the options, you just have to be hungry.

Background

As with many other startups, Navelio began as an idea discussed between friends. The conversation went from “I wish there was a website…” to “How would it work?” and then “Let’s do it ourselves”. The purpose was not to reinvent the wheel or compete with the big players of the travel industry, but simply to do things differently.

We have always been fascinated by want makes people want to travel, and how they go about planning their trip. In fact, companies spend a lot of time and effort trying to understand the customer journey as it tends to be long. They will often entice users with discounts and offers to seal the booking. As travel geeks, we prefer to organise everything ourselves and enjoy spending time on flight tracker maps and other similar websites. That interest sparked the idea of an open map that displays direct routes, allowing users to explore freely and plan their travels.
