Travel Insurance

Once you have planned your trip with Active Gourmet Holidays, the time has come to consider purchasing travel insurance. Hopefully your plans can be carried out without any bumps in the road, however, the unexpected occasionally occurs. A sudden illness, lost luggage, and missed connections can interrupt even the best planned trip.

Cell Phone – Call in Europe

 

Before Call in Europe, travelers had few choices in maintaining their cell phone service while abroad. They could use their own GSM-compatible phone (if they had one), and their U.S.-based plan, and pay exorbitant international roaming fees and surcharges. They could rent a GSM phone and pay the extremely high rental rates and expensive per-minute calling charges. Or, they could buy a costly prepaid phone card and deal with complex instructions, restrictions and time limitations.

 

Now, Call in Europe makes it easy and affordable for travelers to Europe to enjoy their trip, stay connected and pay the same low rates for cell service as Europeans do.
