Is 3 days the right length?
Three days is a long weekend or a layover trip. A small fixed plan is usually enough, because your day is mostly maps, rides and a few messages. An unlimited 3-day plan costs several times more, so it only pays off if you plan video calls.
The count starts when the plan activates, which is not always the day you install it. Read the activation rule before you scan the QR code.
What it comes to per day
The cheapest plan above works out to $1.33 per day. The dearest is $4.32 per day. Treat both as snapshots from Nov 2, 2026.
