Launched in 2006, the website does not sell anything but allows users to compare travel products (flight tickets, hotels, car rentals, buses and trains).

The site is available in the following languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hungarian and Romanian.

liligo.com is a production of Findworks Technologies, a start-up founded by Pierre Bonelli, Bertrand de la Ruelle, Xavier Corbel and Mikaël Quilfen in 2005.

In 2008 the company launched extra features including flexible search and fare alerts.

In September 2010, SNCF, via its site Voyages-sncf, announced it would take a major stake in liligo.com for the amount of 20 million Euros, according to Les Echos.
