The problem we're solving
Every backpacker and digital nomad arriving in a new city faces the same frustrating experience. You land, you open Google, and you get overwhelmed by paid results, outdated TripAdvisor reviews, and tourist traps charging three times the local price.
Finding a reliable car hire, a trusted massage, a genuine local tour, or a coworking space with fast wifi takes hours of research every time you arrive somewhere new. That's time you could be spending exploring.
What Checklokal does
Checklokal is a single platform where travellers can find every local service they need in any city — car hire, scooters, massage, tours, restaurants, nightlife, accommodation, coworking — all in one search. No tourist markup. No fake reviews. Just verified local suppliers who are there to serve travellers like you.
For local businesses, Checklokal is the fastest way to reach the global traveller market. Free to list. 20% commission only when a booking is made.
"I've been travelling and working remotely for years. Every time I arrive in a new city I go through the same painful process of finding reliable local services. Checklokal is the platform I always wished existed — built from the frustration of a real traveller, for real travellers."
Our values
Where we're headed
We launched in 2026 with Dubai as our first city. We're adding 20 cities per month and building toward 200+ cities by end of year. A mobile app is on the roadmap for late 2026.
If you're a local business owner, a travel blogger, or an influencer in the nomad and backpacker space — we'd love to talk.
