Global Travel FAQ

Quick answer

What should a trip budget include?

Include international transport, lodging, food, local transit, attractions, insurance, connectivity, fees, and a contingency—don't forget the middle-cost items.

Separate fixed costs from daily costs. Fixed costs include long-distance transport, insurance, visas, and airport transfers. Daily costs include lodging, meals, local transit, and ordinary sightseeing. Add one-off items such as baggage, seat reservations, and city taxes.

Keep the contingency visible rather than hiding it inside every category. That makes it easier to see what changed when a real quote differs from the plan.
