Get the terms in writing
Ask for the currency, accepted payment methods and deposit schedule for your stay. Keep accommodation, transfers and activities separate in your budget unless a quote explicitly combines them.
Before paying an activity operator, check what the quote covers and how changes or cancellations are handled.
Plan for everyday purchases
Ask about payment options for groceries and transport. Check charges and card-use arrangements with your own bank before travelling. Do not send card numbers or payment documents through the trip planner.
