Things to avoid

Unmetered taxisInsist on the meter or use a ride-hailing app — unmetered taxis are the most common tourist scam, especially at airports.
Scooter without insuranceScooter accidents are the leading travel insurance claim in SE Asia. Confirm your policy covers scooter riding with a valid licence.

Local tips

Carry a small amount of local cash on arrival for taxis, tips and small vendors.
Download offline maps in Google Maps before you leave — data can be patchy on arrival.
Keep digital and physical copies of your passport, visa and insurance separated from the originals.
Tell your bank you're travelling to avoid card blocks.

How to Choose Your Transport

Match the transport to the journey

For airport arrivals — pre-book a private transfer (Kiwitaxi) so you skip the taxi touts and avoid the first-hour haggling.

For intercity travel in Asia — 12Go is the easiest way to compare buses, trains and ferries on the same route.

For islands and coastal routes — Searadar covers ferries and speedboats across the popular island routes.

For road trips and rural areas — RentalCars (via QEEQ) gives the best like-for-like price comparison.

For long-distance rail in Europe and North America — book on the national rail app ahead for the cheapest fares.

Destination Considerations

Southeast Asia

12Go dominates here — buses, trains and ferries all in one place. Grab and Bolt cover city rides.

Europe

Trainline for UK & cross-border rail; Deutsche Bahn, SNCF, Trenitalia for national rail. Uber and Bolt in most cities.

USA & Canada

A car is essential outside the Northeast Corridor. Uber and Lyft cover the cities. Amtrak for scenic rail.

Japan

Suica IC card for metro & regional trains. JR Pass only pays off for 4+ long-distance Shinkansen legs.

Middle East

Careem is the regional ride-hailing app. Taxis are metered and affordable.

Booking Tips

Pre-book airport transfers — a fixed-price private pickup avoids taxi touts and first-hour haggling after a long flight.

Compare rail ahead — European and Japanese trains get expensive on the day — book 6–12 weeks ahead.

Check ferry schedules — island ferries are weather-dependent — book flexible tickets in storm seasons.

Insurance for scooters — ensure your travel insurance covers scooter riding — many policies exclude it.
