Millenials are very much engaged with traveling! The young people from this generation are always craving for adventure, looking for a great escape to satisfy their intense desire to explore different places and to have fun at the same time. For them, investing on experiences is more satisfying and rewarding than spending their money on material things and for someone like me who belongs to this adventurous generation, I couldn’t agree more! Traveling has become an effective way for me to unwind myself from the stressful environment and to meet new friends along the way.
Although the idea of traveling from one place to another is amazing, making them possible is quite a big challenge. Organizing your travel along with your friends and families follows a long term preparation. It is not something that can be done overnight as there are many things you have to consider.
Location
First thing you have to consider is your destination. Whether you are organizing a family outing or a company team building, you must all settle with your ideal destination. You should know the hours of traveling you need to spend to reach your desired location so you can determine whether it is possible for a day tour or if you need to stay for a day or two to enjoy the whole trip.
Accommodation
If the travel requires you to stay for a day or two (or even a week), then it is very important to book your hotels ahead of time. Interestingly, most hotels today are open for online booking which made everything a lot easier and convenient.
Itinerary
You definitely want to utilize your time on your travel especially if you only have a day to spend. If you are exploring an unfamiliar place without an itinerary to guide you, then you might end up consuming all your time surfing the map or connecting with your Waze up. It is very important to make your own itinerary prior to your travel date so things will go smoothly and accordingly.
Budget
The advantage of traveling by group is that you can split the cost to everyone and the individual expenses will not be that huge. Budget plays an important role in your travel as it will determine the things you can do and things you cannot during your adventure. Bringing extra cash would be ideal especially when unexpected expenses arise!
Transportation
Transportation is actually a big challenge especially for someone who doesn’t own a car! In such case, you have two possible options too choose from; you can either look or join a Package Group tour organized by some travel agencies or you can rent a car and do whatever you want according to your own preferences. Car rental services, however, are not like those items you can easily find and access on shopping sites. You are lucky if a friend (who already tried the service) will provide you a contact number, otherwise, you have no other option but to manually search the web just to look for a reliable car rental service company.
Interestingly, with the help digital technology, finding a car rental service is no longer a challenge. I recently came across with this so-called “Graventure”, an interesting web platform that connects both car owners and car renters in simple yet innovative way. Graventure is relatively new and they will have their official launch next summer of 2018 yet the early stage of its development is already showing a huge potential success in the market. With its app currently in development Graventure will become the first ever web and app based car rental platform in the country which is definitely a win-win service for both car owners and car renters.
Graventure is a revolutionary car rental service platform that incorporates an open marketplace for the individual car owners and car rental companies with car renters by equipping them with a website and an app that creates a seamless transition for booking a hassle-free car rental service at a competitive price.
It is a service that adapts the concept of Grab cars but in a more systematic, secure and convenient way.
Benefits of Graventure for Car Owners
Since Graventure is a platform that aims to connect both car renters and car owners, it features a lot of interesting benefits for both parties. The platform aims to help Car Owners be in control of their finances and in their Monthly Amortization Needs as they help them gain customers & track their earnings using their own car units.
As we all know, private car owners monthly battle against expensive and impractical monthly car amortization and maintenance fees and because they lack of marketing collateral and support, their earnings usually fluctuates and paying those monthly bills is absolutely difficult. Once their application got approved in Graventure, the team behind the company can help these car owners earn a much more stable income as they can attract more customers in the process.
Benefits of Graventure for Car Renters
Car renters can absolutely benefit from Graventure in so many ways. First, the challenge of finding a reliable car rental service will be taken out of the picture. Graventure will feature a platform that provides Car renters a wide option so they can pick everything based on their personal preferences. This particular feature avoids the mismatch in needs by the car renters with the car owners. Car renters can pick their desired vehicle based on the capacity they want. The platform features a filter search option that automatically matches the needs with the availability.
Since Graventure performs an intensive background check before approving a car owner’s application, the car owners are ensured that the cars meet all the standards for the renter’s safety. On top of that, car renters can also enjoy some other perks including the “Shared Trips” where they can travel with other adventurous people to the same chosen destination and shared the cost of all expenses. Not to mention the friendship you can built with these new people that shares the same interest- traveling!
The Graventure service is also applicable for other equally important occasions like wedding, company events, business trips, hotel and resort services and even travel agencies who need cars for their clients.
Whether you are traveling with your family, relatives, colleagues or better yet your barkada, Graventure is definitely your one stop shop for all your transportation needs!
Speaking of Barkada, this might be your chance to try out their service! They recently launched a “Graventure Barkada Road Trip” Promo where you can get a chance to win 1- Day trip with five of your friends (the Toyota Innova Car, Fuel, and Driver will be shouldered by Graventure).

I’ve actually thought about a similar app like this before. I’m happy that someone made it happen. I’ll try the app soon, hopefully it will be a fun and successful trip. Thanks for sharing Graventure.
When I first saw the title, I thought it was a compilation of your adventures or visits to different graves! I totally read it wrong. Hahaha! This is the first time that I’ve encountered a car rental service with its own website. Most of the time, they have a site that would just display the list of the cars available and its terms. I tried their site upon reading your post, I got disappointed though because I couldn’t input any data and conduct a search. Their site isn’t yet fully updated. Hope they’ll fix that.
Graventure seems to be promising. For one, it spells safety. Second, I find it convenient.
Also, I agree on what you’ve said about traveling. It is definitely more satisfying and rewarding than spending the money on material things. And yes, such a nice way to unwind, meet new friends, and discover new places.
I am glad new apps are being launched to make life of traveler easy. Graventure is new to me. But seems like they are catering to all needs of traveler. I will check this out. Helps to read a good review from you.
There are so many apps that can make your life much easier. Especially if you are a passionate traveler. I have not used Graventure but there are no doubts that it is useful. These apps can also spare you some money that can be spent on other trips.
Wow at the apps they come up with now. I hate all the plamning required for a vacation, this app has gotta make life a lil easier. I have a hard time finding good car rental providers. Graventure might have figured out a great way to make vacationing easier. Im afraid by doing background checks that this business might take a shot at their rental business.
I’ve overwhelmed by the number of services now provided via apps – it’s incredible that so many people can think how to make our lives easier and more accessible!
It sounds like such a great concept and in building a community where people share. Keep up the amazing work!
