Transport comparison sites: discover Kayak!

Since the last quarter of 2021, Kayak and Tictactrip have partnered up to develop mobility options for people in France and, later, across Europe.

As part of this partnership between Kayak and Tictactrip, you'll now find new transport offers on the Kayak website!

Kayak's transport catalogue now includes bus, train and carpool tickets, plus combined journeys, in addition to the existing car rental, flight and ferry offers.

So you now have the choice between sea, air and ground transport on the Kayak platform. A fantastic partnership, don't you think?

First of all, do you know what intermodality is? 🤔 Our best friend, Wikipedia, answers this question by saying that intermodality means "using several modes of transport during a single journey".

A platform offering intermodal combinations therefore means offering ticket deals based on intermodality, bringing together different modes of transport on the same route.

Kayak is not a platform offering this type of service, since it doesn't offer flight/train combinations (its two types of transport). Such combinations wouldn't be very advantageous anyway. Conversely, the Tictactrip platform offers this combination service based on intermodality, which is even its main advantage, setting it apart from simple ticket comparison sites.

This kind of offer is made possible by cutting-edge technology and extensive databases. The goal? To meet your needs, i.e. to offer you the cheapest possible journeys with the shortest possible travel time. Tictactrip has more than 50 million possible combinations!

The goal Tictactrip pursues through its comparison and combination platform for transport tickets is to open up French regions. This will allow everyone to access an equivalent level of mobility, with no service coverage issues, unlike today.

Kayak is a very influential company in the travel sector! Now publicly listed, it was the first to offer a search engine optimised for travel. Its main strengths are the comparison and sale of flight, accommodation and train tickets, as well as car rental. Its two compared modes of transport are therefore planes and trains around the world. This clearly reflects Kayak's international scale, given the transport options it offers.

By contrast, Tictactrip aims to be influential on the European ground transport market. As a result, the transport options our platform compares are mainly buses, trains and carpooling. Tictactrip has chosen to specialise solely in ground transport in order to promote its Europe-focused transport offering. This choice fits perfectly with the main goal pursued by Tictactrip, namely: opening up isolated regions.

Mobility across France, and then across Europe, relies above all on "short trips" that can be made by bus or carpool, followed by longer journeys by train. Isolated regions can only overcome this situation by using these different modes of transport. That's why Tictactrip wants to improve the overall transport offering in Europe through its smart combinations!

In-app purchases refer to a website or platform's ability to receive payments directly from its users. This is not how Kayak currently operates, as it redirects users either to a travel agency or to the partner company holding the tickets in question. This is actually how Kayak earns its revenue. The platform receives commissions based on its redirection volume and the users it converts into buyers.

Tictactrip still works the same way today and follows the same business model. However, this is set to change soon! Indeed, our team is working tirelessly to offer you this service that will make your life easier! Once we've implemented in-app purchases on our site, you'll have the wonderful ability to book all your tickets directly on our site! This will save you a huge amount of time by letting you book your ticket combinations directly on our platform! Yes, we're thinking of you first and foremost 😉.

Nowadays, prices change, rise, fall... so you need to stay informed before buying! For an optimised service, transport ticket comparison platforms must adjust the prices they offer according to fluctuations. Companies vary their prices based on dates, remaining seats and other criteria. If these comparison platforms give their users incorrect information and a ticket price is advertised at €15 when it's actually €25, that's a real problem! That's why on the Kayak website, you'll find ticket prices adjusted in real time!

In the same way, Tictactrip wants to offer you the best possible service to make your travel easier, and that includes adjusting prices in real time! We offer you this service to keep you informed and help you compare all the offers from our partner companies as accurately as possible!

As for the French offering, Tictactrip has been developing for three years now and aims to open up isolated French regions. That's why its offers in France are far more numerous. Discover that you can go anywhere from your home in France with Tictactrip!

Kayak's European offering covers 150 destinations! Among them, you'll mainly find major cities across Europe, from Paris, Venice, Mykonos or Valencia to Tromsø, Chamonix Mont-Blanc or Kotor. However, these cities are only connected by flights, i.e. from one airport to another. The trains that Kayak offers are also only routes between major cities. For example, you won't be able to find a Toulouse Caen route.

By contrast, Tictactrip has a strong presence in Europe and, driven by its focus on opening up isolated regions, aims to be increasingly present in all French and European towns. That's why Tictactrip's network covers no fewer than 3,700 towns across Europe! Tictactrip's offers also let you reach 31 of the 51 countries on the European continent. Pretty substantial, isn't it?!
