What Ski Amis Ltd does

Ski Amis Ltd is a UK-incorporated company founded in 1989, based in Maidstone, Kent. The company originally operated the Skiamis ski transfer booking platform, which was acquired by Taxiyo in 2024 to expand the acquirer's portfolio into ski-specific ground transportation. Following the acquisition, Ski Amis Ltd operates as the ski transfer vertical within Taxiyo's broader global transfer booking business.

The platform operates an asset-light intermediary model connecting travelers with third-party taxi and travel agencies that perform the actual transfers. It offers eight vehicle classes ranging from compact sedans (Micro, 3 passengers) to large minibuses (19 passengers), with fixed per-vehicle pricing — regardless of passenger count — and a 20% non-refundable advance payment that secures driver availability. The platform covers worldwide ski destinations including Kitzbuhel, Courchevel, Grindelwald, Mayrhofen, Bansko, Zermatt Tasch, and others, alongside general airport and city-to-city transfers. Distribution is exclusively through the Taxiyo website and mobile app, with customer support via email and contact forms. Marketing relies on content marketing and SEO-driven destination pages.

Revenue is generated via transaction-based commissions on bookings, with the platform retaining a facilitation fee and the balance passed to third-party drivers. The customer base is horizontally segmented across ski enthusiasts, general tourists, families/large groups, and business travelers — all served via the same self-serve booking flow. No management team, funding history, or revenue figures are disclosed in available data.
