  • Airport transfer · Arriving by air

    The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.

  • Travel insurance · An international trip

    Medical cover abroad and trip cancellation. Priced by the insurer for your party and dates.

  • SIM or eSIM · An international trip

    Roaming or a local data plan for the days you are away.

  • Tips and service charges · Any trip

    Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

  • Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip
