From public Starlink order pages: official Starlink monthly kit-fee experiments (e.g. reported $10/mo kit fee on Residential order pages in mid-2026 coverage) are a different product from short-term Roam trip rentals — do not confuse them when comparing day rates. Check Starlink's live order flow and ToS for current official hardware options.
In practice: for a one- to two-week trip, renting a ship-box often undercuts buying kit + months of service — see our rent vs buy guide. Exact break-even depends on your length of stay and local list prices.
