Introducing Help En Route, travel companion & support services.
Customized travel planning & support that goes with you so you don’t have to go alone.
The Concept:
Not everyone wants to or can travel alone. That’s where we come in. Help En Route exists to take you or your loved ones wherever it is that you want to go. We’ll handle the travel logistics and get you from Point A to Point B…and maybe even Point C or back to Point A.
You don’t have to travel alone now.
So whether you’re just looking for someone to get you from one place to the next, such as a wedding, graduation, relocation, or family gathering, or whether you want to take a trip with the comfort of someone there throughout it, Help En Route can be there for you.
It’s time to take back travel.
