The new online platform lists more than 1,500 road journeys across 111 countries, connecting travelers directly with specialist operators.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Adventure Travel
Stradora has launched an online platform showcasing more than 1,500 road journeys across 111 countries. The site does not sell or operate the trips and directs customers to the specialist businesses responsible for delivering them.
Why it matters
The platform gives travelers a single place to compare road trips ranging from budget-friendly routes to high-end expeditions. By connecting customers directly with operators, it centralizes discovery while leaving booking and delivery with the companies that run the trips.
The platform lists 1,500 journeys across 111 countries, with prices starting at just over £100 per person and reaching more than £70,000. The longest listed expedition runs 125 days across 21 African countries.
The players
Stradora
An online travel platform that curates road trips worldwide and refers travelers to specialist operators rather than selling trips itself.
Gary Dooley
Co-founder of Stradora and co-owner of the Leeds creative agency Pure, who developed the idea after years of researching and booking road trips.
Tim Illingworth
Co-founder of Stradora and co-owner of the Leeds creative agency Pure.
The details
Stradora was founded by Gary Dooley and Tim Illingworth, co-owners of Leeds creative agency Pure, and the collection is personally curated by the founders. Experiences range from driving a Porsche 911 through Botswana to riding a Royal Enfield in Patagonia and snowmobiling in the Arctic Circle. Operators pay no listing fees and cannot buy preferential rankings.
Timeline
Stradora's platform launch was reported on 2 November 2026.
Travel Outlook
Stradora follows the aggregator model that has reshaped online travel booking, but focuses narrowly on self-drive and motorcycle journeys. Its emphasis on founder curation and a no-listing-fee policy distinguishes it from larger marketplaces that rank operators by paid placement.
Travelers comparing road trips can use the platform to see price ranges from roughly £100 to over £70,000 per person before contacting operators directly. Because Stradora refers customers to the businesses that run each trip, bookings, cancellations and terms are handled by those operators rather than the platform.
The takeaway
Before committing to a long road trip, compare price points and operator details across several listings, since costs range widely depending on vehicle, route and length. Confirm cancellation and inclusion terms directly with the operator that will deliver the journey.
