Plan internet access and account logins separately. A data eSIM gives you apps and maps, while SMS codes still go to your home SIM; authenticator-app codes work offline. Test your bank login and recovery method before you leave.
Match insurance to how you actually travel — activities, destinations, trip length — and read what is excluded before comparing prices.
Treat cancellation terms as part of the price. A slightly more expensive refundable booking is often the cheaper risk.
Compare the card cover and the policy line by line: who is covered, residence, trip length, medical limits, activities, exclusions and payment conditions. Buy extra cover for a real gap; when two policies overlap, a claim is paid once.
Compare the same itinerary, days, data and hotspot needs, including any allowance already in your home plan. Use the calculator with actual quotes; local SIM, travel eSIM and home roaming can each win in different scenarios.
Most have fair-use policies that throttle speed after a threshold. Check the policy for the countries you visit before relying on one for work.
Confirmations, receipts and cancellation terms — they are your evidence for refunds, chargebacks and insurance claims.
We compare fees, the countries each product serves, how well it works on the road and its main risks, using each provider’s own price and terms pages.
