About Optitrips

Optitrips helps European drivers plan smart road trips: real tolls, best departure time, hotels and fuel stations along the route, and adverse-event alerts. We turn «point A to point B» into a multi-day itinerary with meal, sleep and refuel stops exactly where they make sense.

Our mission

Google Maps and Waze are excellent for today’s commute. But when you leave for a week with your family across France to the Alps, or drive from Madrid to Sicily in summer, you need more: knowing exactly how much you will spend on tolls, when to leave to avoid the Saturday jam, where to sleep on the first night and which service station along the way has diesel 12 % cheaper. That gap is what Optitrips fills.

Our story

Optitrips started in 2026, born from the frustration of people who take long European road trips every year and kept confirming, trip after trip, that generic navigation apps do not think about pauses, meals, budget or multi-day logistics. It was first built for personal use, and was opened up when friends who tried it stopped using their previous planners. Optitrips is built and run by an independent developer, José Javier González García, and every email is answered personally.

Where it works

The planner is built for road trips across continental Europe. The richest data today is in Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Portugal, with official fuel-price feeds in ES/FR/IT and real toll prices for the main motorways; other countries are added step by step and the app says when a piece of data is not available.

Who and where

Optitrips is operated by José Javier González García from Nyon, Switzerland. The backend runs in a European data centre (Paris, Fly.io) and all data processing is done under GDPR. You can read our terms of service and privacy policy for the full legal detail.
