12 Essential Bleisure Travel Tips for Mixing Work and Vacation

12. Put logistics in place: transport, SIM and local connectivity

Finalize transport and connectivity before you leave. Compare rental car rates and rideshare availability where you’ll be staying, and book in advance when demand is high. For phone service, choose between a short-term local SIM, an eSIM plan, or an international roaming package depending on coverage and data needs. If you rely on heavy data for work, test your eSIM or hotspot on arrival to verify speed. Know local taxi apps or transit cards and download them ahead of time. For road trips or RV bleisure options, confirm parking, charging stations, and campsite reservations early. Finally, store digital copies of your bookings and confirmations in a secure travel folder so you can access them offline. When logistics are sorted, you spend less time troubleshooting and more time enjoying the extra hours you added to the business trip.
