How it works

Simple, public and transparent: you're buying an ad spot on this site — the van is the bonus.

01

Buy an ad spot from €100

Add your brand, logo, link and one-liner. Your ad goes live on the public board right away.

02

Get outbid? Bid again

Higher bids push everyone else down the ranking. You can outbid them back at any time.

03

Your ad stays for 12 months

Every bidder keeps their logo and clickable link on this site for a full year — even if outbid. That's the product, delivered instantly.

04

Hit €125K and it gets real

If we raise €125,000+ by 1 Jan 2027, we buy the van and the top 10 bidders + the main sponsor get printed on it.

Paid bids are final. Placement is decided by amount, then by who bid first.

1 spot only · fixed price

Main sponsor — €50,000

  • The full driver-side flank — the shot every photo and news clip uses
  • Named as the official main sponsor in every press release and interview
  • Top-of-page logo here, plus recurring shout-outs in our trip posts
  • A dedicated feature story about your brand from the road
  • Roughly €137 per day of moving-billboard exposure across 20+ countries

Why €200,000+ and why now

A factory-fresh James Cook 600D is around €100,000. The rest covers taxes, insurance, fuel, tolls, ferries and food. Based in Bulgaria, we take weekly and bi-weekly trips all over Europe for a full year — photos, video and press outreach with your logo in frame.

The earlier you bid, the cheaper attention is. Once this campaign hits newspapers and TV, the leaderboard gets expensive fast — early bidders lock in a rank while it still costs the price of a dinner.

The van we buy when we hit €125,000

Let's be clear: we don't own this van yet. The moment total bids cross €125,000, we walk into the dealer and buy a factory-fresh James Cook 600D — a brand-new Westfalia conversion on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. Deep gloss paint, perfect flat panels — the ideal canvas for print that actually looks premium in photos. Until then, your advertising lives right here on this site.

  • Professional vinyl print, applied by a certified wrap shop
  • Placement mapped panel by panel — no random sticker chaos
  • Photographed on weekly and bi-weekly trips — Alpine passes, coastlines, city centres
  • Branding stays on for exactly one year, then comes off cleanly

Aiming to go viral — and pitching hard for it

Place your bid

Add your logo, your link and a one-line description, choose your amount and you go straight onto the public board. Minimum bid: €10.

Straight up, before you pay

The van doesn't exist yet. You are buying advertising on this website — a logo, a link and a description, live for 12 months. That's what you get, guaranteed. If we collectively raise €125,000+ by 1 January 2027, we buy the James Cook 600D, print the top 10 bidders and the main sponsor on it, and run it on weekly and bi-weekly trips across Europe for a year, based out of Bulgaria. Until then, your exposure is right here. All payments are final. No refunds.

Minimum €10, raise in steps of €5. Higher bids rank higher — the top 10 get printed on the van.

Secure payment via Stripe. Billing country and EU VAT number are collected at checkout — business customers get a valid VAT invoice. Your listing goes live right after payment.

Questions, answered honestly

What exactly am I buying?

A 12-month advertising placement on FundMyTrip.eu: your logo, a clickable link and a short description, ranked on the public board by bid amount. It goes live immediately after your bid. That is the product — and it's delivered from day one.

Can I be outbid?

Yes, at any moment. A higher bid pushes you down the ranking — but never off the site. You keep your placement for the full 12 months regardless, and you can always place a new, higher bid to climb back.

Do I get a refund?

No. All payments are final. You're paying for website advertising that is delivered immediately, so there is nothing to refund — whether or not the van is ever bought.

What if you don't reach €125,000?

Then there is no van and no stickers — simple as that. Your advertising on this site continues for the full 12 months you paid for. If we do reach the goal, we buy the van and the top 10 bidders plus the main sponsor get physical placement for the tour.

When does my ad go live?

Immediately. Your logo, link and description appear on the public board as soon as your bid is placed. We reserve the right to refuse or remove inappropriate submissions.
