Travel with Planet Ride and unlock our partner perks
Planning a roadtrip with Planet Ride in 2026? Beyond the route itself, we like the small extras that make the ride easier to remember—and to share. When you book with Planet Ride, you may receive partner promo codes by email for two simple tools: one to recreate the feel of a disposable camera, and one to turn your own shots into real postcards. It’s not about “collecting content”; it’s about keeping a clean trace of the ride—without adding weight to your luggage or time to your days.
1) Fotomate: the “disposable camera” vibe—without the hassle
Fotomate is built to mimic the limitations (and charm) of a disposable camera: fewer shots, less perfectionism, more presence. It’s a small constraint that often leads to better memories—especially on a motorized roadtrip where the best moments happen between two planned stops.
How the perk works
Use the code Planet Ride sent you by email to unlock 6 photos for free.
- Download the app before departure: do it on Wi‑Fi at home or at your first hotel. App stores and updates can be slow or blocked once you’re in rural areas.
- Shoot during the trip: think “one scene, one shot”—a fuel stop at golden hour, a mountain pass sign, a ferry ramp, a rainy roadside café.
- Receive prints at home once your roll is “finished”. It’s a surprisingly good way to close the loop after you’re back.
Why it matters on the road
On a bike or in a 4x4, you rarely want to pull out gear, swap lenses, or manage files. This is lightweight, quick, and it keeps you from spending evenings sorting hundreds of pictures.
Where it fits best in a day
Use it at natural pauses: the first coffee stop (10–15 minutes), a viewpoint you’d stop at anyway, or the last stop before your accommodation. Don’t try to “add” photo stops—fold it into the rhythm you already have.
2) Fizzer: send real postcards from your own photos
Fizzer lets you create and send physical postcards directly from your smartphone—using your own images. It’s the modern version of buying cards in a gift shop, except you can do it with the exact scene you lived that day.
How the perk works
Use the code Planet Ride sent you by email to get 5 postcards for free.
The process (4 steps)
- Choose your photo collage and customize (filters, stickers, etc.).
- Write your message—keep it short; postcards read best that way.
- Sign with your finger for a personal touch.
- Add one or more recipients and send.
Why it matters on a motorized roadtrip
It’s a simple ritual: once every few days, you send a sign of life that’s tangible. And you don’t have to hunt for stamps, post offices, or the “right” souvenir shop in a place where your priorities are fuel, daylight, and a good night’s sleep.
Where it fits best in a day
Do it when you have stable network: in the evening at your accommodation, or during a longer lunch break. If you’re riding long days (5–7 hours of real saddle/drive time), avoid screen tasks late at night—fatigue makes everything slower.
Planet Ride bonus: a free travel video edit (limited-time offer)
Planet Ride also offered a free travel video edit for bookings made before February 15 (as stated in the original article). Details here:

A couple of field-proven tips (to actually use these perks)
- Go offline by default: save your key info locally (booking confirmations, emergency contacts, daily route). Mobile coverage can drop quickly once you leave main corridors.
- Protect your energy: Planet Ride’s pro pacing rule is simple—if you’ve already done a long riding day, don’t add a “task night”. Uploading, editing, sorting… it can wait. Enjoy dinner, sleep, and keep the next day sharp.
- Carry power like it’s fuel: a small power bank and a charging cable you trust are often more useful than any extra gadget—especially if you rely on your phone for navigation and these apps.
Mini FAQ
- When should I download Fotomate/Fizzer for a roadtrip?
Before you leave (or at your first stable Wi‑Fi stop). Don’t count on fast data once you’re in rural areas. - Do these perks work if I have limited mobile coverage?
Yes—plan to create/send when you’re back on Wi‑Fi. The key is not making it a daily obligation. - What’s the best moment to shoot “disposable-style” photos on a motorized trip?
At stops you already make: fuel, viewpoints, and end-of-day arrivals. Quick, safe, and it won’t disrupt your riding rhythm.
