Frequently asked

Is the bracket even drivable in one trip?
Not all of it — the US distances are huge. A sensible road trip picks a corridor: Northeast (Boston-NYC-Philly), Southeast (Atlanta-Miami), or Texas plus KC. Trying to drive coast to coast in two weeks costs you matches and sanity. Fly between regions and drive within them.
What eSIM and Wi-Fi setup should I run?
A regional North-America eSIM with generous data, paired with your home SIM live for 2FA, and a small mobile hotspot for hotel-Wi-Fi disasters. The road eats batteries — bring two power banks and a car charger that does fast USB-C, not the slow stock cable.
How do I handle banking and money on the road?
A multi-currency card with no foreign-transaction fees for spending, cash withdrawn in larger amounts to amortise ATM fees, and decline dynamic currency conversion every single time. Save receipts; rental insurance disputes happen and the trail saves you.
What is the single biggest mistake first-timers make?
Underestimating drive times and overbooking matches. American highway distances look short on a map and feel infinite at 8 pm. Add 30 % to every estimated drive time, skip one match per leg, and you finish the trip glad you went — instead of exhausted and skipping the final.
