Best road trips in the world (and how to stay online en route)

From America’s classic Route 66 to Namibia’s mysterious Skeleton Coast, we explore the best road trips in the world

When it comes to road trips, we’ve had our fair share of mishaps. We’ve battled a whiteout in Iceland, got stuck in a ditch in Turkey, broken down in Chile and changed a tyre in lion territory in Namibia.

Despite all this, we’re irrevocably drawn to the open road. There’s a very specific freedom in being able to rent a car wherever you land and setting your own course. More importantly, you can change that course when you want to. Whether you spend extra days in a national park or depart early from a tourist town, you’re the master of your own time.

How to stay connected while on the road

If you’re driving for any length of time, you’re going to want to be connected. Not only does it make navigation so much easier, but if you need to reserve that last-minute motel or check the national park opening hours, then you need to be online. It also means you’re able to request roadside assistance if you break down and stream music for those long days on the open road.

The best way to connect on a road trip is to use an international eSIM from Holafly. An eSIM is a virtual SIM card that works remotely, meaning you don’t have to remove your current SIM card so there’s no risk of losing or damaging your SIM card or losing your number. Instead, once you’ve chosen your package, you’ll be emailed a QR code to scan. All you have to do is activate a pre-installed eSIM profile on your device and you’re good to go. 

Holafly covers 165 destinations worldwide and offers several data packages for the USA, Canada and Mexico across a range of networks including 3G, 4G and 5G. Holfaly covers 32 countries in Europe including popular destinations such as France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey.

Once you’ve chosen your package, you’ll be emailed a QR code to scan. All you have to do is activate the pre-installed eSIM profile on your device and you’re good to go. The software connects your smartphone to a local mobile network on the fly, letting you quickly sign up for service without having to track down a store or shop.
