Step 2: Choose the Type of Trip and the Cooling Options on Location

Determine the type of trip you are taking and what cooling options are available at your destination:

  1. From A to B with on-site cooling – You have a refrigerator available on site, so you only have to bridge the journey.
  2. From A to B without cooling on site – No refrigerator available on site. Choose a cool box that is also suitable during the stay.
  3. From A to B to C without a freezer on location – You are traveling to another location without a freezer; choose a cool box that is suitable for multiple stops.
  4. From A to B to C with freezer on site – A freezer is available at the stopover, which allows for reloading of cool packs.
