About ItWhip

Founded in 2019, ItWhip began as a specialized GDS integration partner, quietly revolutionizing hotel ground transportation through seamless backend systems. For six years, we've powered transportation for over 500 hotels across Arizona, completing 2.5 million trips without most travelers even knowing our name.

Our deep integration with Amadeus GDS allowed hotels to book ground transportation as easily as flights, while our network of 450+ professional drivers ensured reliable, luxury service. This B2B focus gave us unparalleled insights into what travelers really need.

Now in 2025, we're taking everything we've learned and launching our super app - bringing our proven transportation infrastructure directly to consumers. It's not just another ride app; it's six years of expertise in one seamless platform.
