You can book support for needs such as:

Three ways to get help on Daittons

Daittons gives you three ways to secure destination support, depending on how hands-on you want to be.

1. Book a host directly

If you find a suitable host while browsing the platform, you can contact that host directly and arrange the support you need.

This is the best option if you prefer to review profiles yourself, compare hosts in a destination and choose who you want to work with.

2. Post a service request

If you would rather describe the support you need and let hosts come to you, you can post a service request on Daittons for free.

Suitable hosts in that destination may then respond or apply if they are available and a good fit.

3. Use Daittons Matching

If you want Daittons to help identify and shortlist a suitable host for you, you can use Daittons Matching, our paid matching service.

This is ideal if your request is urgent, sensitive, more complex or if you simply want a more guided booking process.

How to book a host directly

Step 1 — Choose the destination

Start with the city where support is needed. Daittons is built around destinations first, because the right support depends on the location where help is required.

Step 2 — Browse available hosts

View Verified Destination Hosts in that destination and review the services they offer, their profile information and their host level.

Some hosts may appear as Standard Hosts, while others may appear as Elite Hosts with an Elite badge on their profile.

Step 3 — Contact the host

Once you find a host that looks suitable, contact them and explain what support you need.

You should clearly communicate:

• the destination or city
• the date and time support is needed
• the type of service required
• who the support is for
• the expected duration of support
• any important practical details

Step 4 — Confirm the service arrangement

Before the booking is treated as confirmed, you and the host should agree on the key details of the support arrangement.

This should include:

• the exact service being provided
• pickup point, meeting point or destination details where relevant
• date and timing
• expected duration
• final pricing
• whether any extra charges may apply
• payment timing and method
• any cancellation or waiting-time expectations

Step 5 — Proceed with the booking

Once both sides are comfortable with the arrangement, the host can proceed with the agreed destination support.

What you can book a host for

Daittons hosts may offer different types of destination support depending on the city, the host’s role and the services they are approved for.

Common examples include:

Arrival pick-up and transfer

Book a host to receive someone arriving in a city and assist with transport from the airport, bus station, train station or another arrival point.

Daily transport

Book support for shopping trips, appointments, family visits, meetings, errands or practical transport during a stay.

Private chauffeurs

Book a more dedicated or premium transport arrangement for business, executive, event or personal use.

Personal assistance

Book practical support for errands, coordination, appointments, day-to-day help or destination assistance.

Shopping assistance

Book help with groceries, essentials, home setup items, pharmacy shopping, gift shopping or other practical purchases.

Meet and greet and local guidance

Book a host to receive a visitor, help them settle into the destination and provide local guidance and orientation.

Accommodation support

Book support with accommodation check-in, settling in, short-stay support or practical help around accommodation arrangements.

Relocation and settling-in support

Book help for students, professionals, families or individuals moving into a new city and needing support with settling in.

Business visitor support

Book practical support for corporate guests, business travellers, meeting-related assistance or executive destination help.

Local verification services

Book someone in another city to verify a property, address, supplier, business, person or other local detail on your behalf.

Who can book a host?

Daittons is designed for a wide range of users, including:

• visitors travelling to another city
• parents arranging support for students
• family members helping a loved one relocate
• professionals and business travellers
• relocation clients
• people who need local help in a city where they are not physically present
• people who need verification or practical support in another destination

You do not have to be the person travelling yourself in order to book support through Daittons.

How pricing works when booking a host

Hosts on Daittons are generally independent Daittons Partners and not employees of Daittons.

This means that in most cases, the host will discuss and agree the final service fee directly with you.

Daittons may maintain a pricing guideline and fee schedule with starting rates for services on the platform, including different fee guidance for Standard Hosts and Elite Hosts, but final pricing is usually agreed directly between the host and the visitor based on the actual support required.

The final amount may depend on factors such as:

• distance and travel involved
• duration of support
• waiting time
• after-hours or late-night service
• urgency
• additional stops
• add-on tasks
• complexity of the request

Is booking a host through Daittons free?

Browsing hosts — Free

You can browse hosts on the platform at no charge.

Booking directly with a host

Daittons does not charge a browsing fee for this. However, the host will usually charge for the actual support service they provide.

Posting a service request — Free

You can post a request at no charge.

Daittons Matching — Paid

If you want Daittons to help identify and shortlist a suitable host for you, a matching fee may apply.

What it means for a host to be verified

Verified Destination Hosts go through a Daittons approval and verification process designed to support trust and platform quality.

Depending on the role and support offered, this may include identity verification, criminal record-related checks where applicable, role suitability review, profile checks and other onboarding requirements.

Verification helps Daittons assess trust and suitability, but visitors should still confirm all arrangements carefully before proceeding with a booking.

Important booking notes

Before confirming a host, make sure you are comfortable with:

• the host’s role and the service they are offering
• the final agreed price
• the timing and practical arrangement
• any cancellation expectations
• the payment arrangement
• any special requirements relevant to the support needed

If your request is sensitive, urgent, complex or you are not sure which host to choose, Daittons Matching may be the better option.

Need help choosing the right host?

If you do not want to compare profiles yourself, or if the support needed is more specialised, Daittons can help through Daittons Matching.

This gives you a more guided process where Daittons helps identify suitable hosts based on your destination, support needs and practical requirements.
