The promise
Know you are ready to go
Before You Travel turns a messy pre-holiday checklist into a personal readiness plan based on where you are going, when you leave and how you travel.
Prepare passports, visas, GHIC/EHIC, insurance, driving details and confirmations in one place.
Use timestamped home checks for doors, windows, oven, alarm, medication, passports and chargers.
