Quick wins
Smart travel tips
Small habits that make a real difference before and during any trip.
Set up your eSIM before you fly - not in the airport queue.
Buy travel insurance as soon as you book, not the night before.
Notify your bank before you travel to avoid blocked cards abroad.
Store copies of all travel documents in your email drafts.
Carry a power bank on travel days - airports drain batteries fast.
Put a luggage tag inside your bag, not just on the outside handle.

Frequently asked questions
What is an eSIM and how does it work?+
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Instead of swapping a physical SIM, you scan a QR code or follow a simple setup process to activate a local data plan in your destination. You can do this before you travel and switch on your data the moment you land.
Which phones are compatible with eSIMs?+
Most modern smartphones support eSIMs, including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and a wide range of Samsung Galaxy and other Android devices. You can check compatibility on the Saily eSIM page before purchasing.
Do I need travel insurance if I already have cover through my bank?+
Bank-provided travel insurance often has significant gaps - low medical cover limits, exclusions for pre-existing conditions, or limited baggage protection. It is worth reviewing your existing policy carefully before you travel and topping up where needed.
Can I get travel insurance for a single trip or do I need an annual policy?+
Both options are available. If you travel two or more times a year, an annual multi-trip policy usually works out better value. For a one-off trip, a single trip policy is typically the more cost-effective choice.
Are all of these services bookable through Timms Travel?+
Yes. Hotels, flights, car hire and experiences can all be searched and booked through Timms Travel. For eSIMs, you will be directed to our partner Saily to complete your purchase. Travel insurance quotes are provided by our trusted insurance partners.
Is Timms Travel free to use?+
Yes. Timms Travel is completely free to use. We never add booking fees on top of the prices shown, and you will always see the same price you would find by going direct.
Can I use an eSIM and keep my regular phone number?+
Yes. eSIMs work alongside your existing physical SIM in dual SIM mode. Your regular number stays active for calls and texts, while the eSIM provides affordable local data in your destination.
What does travel insurance typically not cover?+
Standard policies usually exclude pre-existing medical conditions unless declared and accepted, self-inflicted injury, travel to destinations under a government advisory warning, and losses caused by reckless or illegal behaviour. Always read the policy wording before you travel.
