About Expedio

We're building the distribution layer travel documents never had.

Starting with International Driving Permits. Next: visas. After that, whatever the next obvious thing is.

The thing nobody built

Here's a weird fact about the travel industry.

A foreigner renting a car needs five things: the car, insurance, a map, a SIM, and an International Driving Permit.

The rental company sells them the first four. For the fifth, they say "Google it."

Why?

Because nobody ever built the pipes. The IDP got outsourced to whoever could rank on Google. The rental counter — the place where the customer is literally asking about it — got cut out.

That's what we're fixing. One product at a time.

What Expedio is

A network of operators who sell travel and mobility products to customers they already have.

Whatever the next obvious thing is

The agents already in the network sell it first.

The split

IDA
Makes the product.

Issues the permit. Handles the customer.

Expedio
Runs the network.

Applications, dashboards, commissions, payouts.

You
Own the relationship.

Same one you already had.

The compounding bit

Most affiliate programs pay you once. Ours pays you three ways.

01

You sell.

$20 per sale to your own customers.

02

You invite operators.

$5 on everything they sell.

03

They invite operators.

You keep earning.

An agent who brings in 5 friends, who each bring in 3 more, is sitting on a network of 20+ operators. All selling. All compounding.

The agents who joined first are doing the best. The agents who join now will beat the agents who join in 2027.

Networks reward early. That's just math.

Why we're doing this

Three of us spent a combined 25 years building partner programs for travel platforms.

Every time, the same pattern:

The operator on the ground does the work.

The platform in the middle takes the margin.

The operator gets a plaque and a "thanks."

We wanted the opposite.

A platform where the margin sits with the person closest to the customer, and the middle layer gets paid only when the edge gets paid.

So we built it.

What we believe

Operators are the best distribution channel in travel. Nobody treats them that way.

A rental counter in Bali talks to more foreign drivers in a week than most travel blogs get in a year. That's distribution. It's just never been priced like it.

Flat commissions, published up front.

$20 per IDP. Same clarity for every product we add. No secret tiers. No clawback games.

Launched beats roadmap.

We'll tell you what's live. We'll tell you what's coming. We won't confuse the two to close a deal.

You earn more, we earn more.

No agent fees. No subscriptions. No quotas. We take a share of each sale. When you don't sell, we don't eat.

If you're still reading

You've got a business that serves foreign customers. You already do the work of pointing them toward what they need.

Get paid for it. Bring your friends in. Build a little money machine that keeps paying you after you close your laptop.

That's the whole pitch.
