Important: You might save money by choosing a non-fixed price charge card.
Fixed-price cards like Eneco offer predictable costs, but they may not always be the cheapest. Charger networks often compete with each other on price and you may miss out on these savings. Before you subscribe, check who operates the chargers you plan to use often and the prices they set. With a charge card like Tap Roamer, you only pay the price set by the charger operator.
