Starlink Roaming in Europe (2025) — Pricing, plans, and what travellers need to know

Curious about Starlink roaming prices in Europe in 2025? This guide breaks down the Roam plans, regional price differences, hardware costs, VAT & registration effects, practical tips for digital nomads, campers and boaters, and how to avoid surprises on the road.

Starlink’s Roam service in 2025 offers two core plan tiers: a limited 50 GB option and an Unlimited Roam option. Starlink lists global USD headline prices on its Roam pages, but local European prices vary by country because of regional pricing, currency conversion and VAT. Pricing and features have changed several times since 2023–2024, so expect differences between the official Starlink Roam page and local reseller/region pages.

What are the Roam plans?

Starlink’s Roam product is designed for mobile use — RVs, campers, yachts, and travellers. Official materials list two primary plan types:

  • Roam 50 GB — a fixed monthly allotment (50 GB) intended for occasional travel. In places where Starlink lists USD prices this historically appears around $50/month, though local European prices can be shown in euros.

  • Roam Unlimited — an unlimited-data Roam plan intended for frequent travellers, professional nomads and in-motion use. On Starlink’s global pages this has been shown as $165/month (USD) in some regions but local pricing in Europe has often appeared lower once converted and adjusted for local market strategy.

The company also sells Roam hardware/kits (Mini and Standard Roam kits). Hardware is a one-time purchase separate from monthly service. Official kit showings and bundle prices vary by region and model.

Europe-specific reality in 2025 — prices you’ll actually see

Important: Starlink’s corporate page shows canonical plan names and general USD figures, but in practice European customers will see local currency prices on country pages or third-party resellers. That means:

  • Some European listings show ~€40–€50/month for the 50 GB tier and ~€70–€95/month (or equivalent) for an unlimited Roam option depending on the country and how Starlink chooses to price the region. Local price examples reported by analysts and regional guides in 2025 fall in that range.

  • Other official Starlink pages (and support documentation) still reference USD amounts, creating confusion for customers who compare country pages to a global USD headline. Always check the specific country or checkout page when signing up.

Because Starlink has iterated its roaming and Roam package definitions in 2023–2025, travellers have reported different historical thresholds and promotional offers — that’s why a plan that cost one rate last year may look different now.

Why European prices differ (VAT, registration country, and regional strategy)

Several factors explain the spread in display prices:

  1. VAT and local taxes. Many EU countries require VAT to be shown/included at checkout. VAT rates in Europe vary (typically 17–27%), so the euro price will often incorporate that tax, which makes the euro checkout number appear higher than a raw USD conversion.

  2. Currency conversion & rounding. Companies often set psychologically pleasing price points in local currency rather than doing a precise USD→EUR conversion.

  3. Regional product positioning. Starlink sometimes sets different price tiers by market based on competition, purchasing power, and local regulatory costs.

  4. Hardware & shipping. Roam kits (Mini/Standard) pricing, shipping and import duties add to up-front cost and differ by country.

Always check whether a listed price is incl. VAT or excl. VAT on the local checkout page.

Hardware costs: what to budget for in Europe (2025)

Hardware remains a separate one-time purchase from the monthly plan. In 2025 European reports and local pages show Roam kit price bands roughly in these ranges:

  • Mini/portable kits: often shown in the low hundreds of euros (example consumer figures reported around €200–€400 depending on model and promotions).

  • Standard Roam kits: higher priced than Mini; expect mid-hundreds of euros.

  • Maritime or specialized hardware: priced much higher (thousands) for stabilized antennas and professional installs. Starlink+1

Because hardware supply and demand fluctuate, check the local Starlink product page or authorised reseller for exact up-to-date pricing.

Practical examples: expected monthly costs for travellers

(Use these as guides, not exact checkout totals.)

  • Short weekend camper, occasional use: Roam 50 GB at the local euro equivalent — expect roughly €35–€55/month once taxes and local pricing are applied. Hardware is a separate upfront cost.

  • Frequent traveller / full-time vanlifer: Roam Unlimited — reported European prices commonly fall around €60–€95/month in 2025 depending on the country and whether promotions apply. This is typically cheaper than the USD-headline $165/month once region-adjusted.

  • Boaters / yachts: Maritime plans and hardware increase total cost substantially; expect hardware + monthly connectivity to be a major line item (hundreds to thousands depending on kit).

Registration & fair-use: watch the fine print

A few operational things to be aware of:

  • Roam availability is region-based. Roam covers many countries, but permitted usage and in-motion allowances can be restricted by country or territory. Check the Starlink Roam coverage page for the exact country list before assuming it will work everywhere.

  • Overage charges and top-ups. Some Roam 50 GB products allow purchasing extra GBs at a per-GB rate if you exceed the monthly cap. Overages or temporary top-ups may have fixed per-GB pricing.

  • Policy changes happen. Starlink has changed Roam and mobile policies multiple times through 2023–2025; the company may update features, standby/pause options, or in-motion allowances. Follow official support docs and announcements before buying.

Tips to avoid surprises 

  • Always check the country checkout page for final price and VAT inclusion.

  • Compare hardware + first monthly charge when budgeting — many travellers forget the one-time kit cost.

  • If you’re a long-term traveler, shop around: in some European markets the Unlimited Roam monthly can be significantly lower in euros than the raw USD headline once the company applies regional pricing.

  • For boats: check whether you need maritime-grade hardware; ordinary Roam kits aren’t designed for extended in-motion ocean use without the correct mounting and certification.

Final thoughts — is Starlink Roam worth it in Europe (2025)?

For travellers who need reliable high-speed internet in remote areas of Europe (mountain campgrounds, rural highways, coastal anchorages), Starlink Roam remains one of the most convenient plug-and-play options — especially where terrestrial mobile coverage is poor. The tradeoffs are cost (hardware + monthly) and changing policy details (regional allowances, pause/standby changes, VAT). If you’re price-sensitive, compare the country checkout price and watch for promotions or local reseller bundles that include installation, shipping or VAT handling.
