Hi, We're LazyTrips.
We are the internet’s most meticulous road trip architects.
Founded in 2011, LazyTrips has spent the last 15 years serving as the definitive guide to the open road. Whether you are looking for a scenic afternoon coastal drive or a multi-week cross-country expedition, we have been helping travelers navigate with absolute confidence for over a decade.
Since our launch, we have mapped, tested, and published over 3,000 detailed road trip routes across North America and Europe.
We don't just tell you where to go; we provide the analytical logistics—drive times, seasonal road closures, optimal pitstops, and hidden local gems—so you can travel without the stress.
The LazyTrips Route Planner
In June 2024, we took our database of thousands of routes and launched the Planner.
It's a completely free, custom-built tool to help you dream, customize, and map your own road trips using our proprietary routing data.
The Planner is currently in Beta with new features launching every week. Please try it out and let us know what you think!
Our Editorial Promise & Methodology
In an era of automated travel content, we believe there is no substitute for real-world experience.
✓ First-Hand Expertise
Our routes are built on decades of real-world driving experience. We have driven everywhere from the winding Pacific Coast Highway and the rugged terrain of Montana, to the deep South and the snowy passes of the Alps.
✓ Data-Driven Mapping
We don't just guess drive times. Every single route on LazyTrips is meticulously mapped to account for realistic driving conditions, realistic layovers, and logical routing.
✓ Independent Recommendations
Our destination and hotel recommendations are strictly based on editorial merit. We curate our stops based on what makes the best possible road trip experience, not based on paid placements.
