Affiliate links: how this site makes money

Escale Map is free and ad-free. The site is funded by affiliate links.

How it works

When a guide recommends accommodation, an activity, car hire, travel insurance or an eSIM, it may link to a partner such as a booking platform. If you book after clicking that link, the partner pays Escale Map a commission.

• You pay the same price as you would by going straight to the partner’s website.
• Affiliate links are labelled: a notice at the top of the guide and the words “affiliate link” next to each link.
• Picks stay independent: a partner is only recommended when it fits the situation described. When a non-affiliate option is better (a ticket bought on the spot, an official website), we say so.

Partner cookies

Links go through a redirect address on this site (/go/…) and then to the partner. Escale Map sets no cookies: the partner’s website records your visit under its own privacy policy.
