Write down the whole-trip price in the same currency, including taxes and any card conversion fees. Then check the local network and the places on your itinerary. A larger allowance is not automatically better if the plan expires before your return flight.

“Unlimited” can include daily high-speed limits or reduced speeds. A country count says little about coverage on a particular road. We do not award stars or a winner without comparable evidence.
