Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the road trip cost calculator?
The calculator uses current regional averages for hotel prices, fuel costs and meal prices. Results are estimates — actual costs vary by specific route, season and booking timing. We recommend adding a 10–15 % buffer to your final estimate.
What regions does the calculator support?
The calculator covers 7 regions: United States (USD), Europe (EUR), United Kingdom (GBP), Australia (AUD), Colombia (COP), New Zealand (NZD), and Canada (CAD). Each region uses locally appropriate price benchmarks.
Does the calculator include electric vehicle costs?
Yes. Select "Electric vehicle (EV)" as your vehicle type and the calculator automatically estimates charging costs at approximately $0.035 per km (about 3.5 cents/km), based on typical public charging rates.
How is the accommodation cost calculated?
Hotel prices represent the cost per room per night. Two travelers share one room. Solo travelers pay a 30 % single-occupancy surcharge. Groups of 3–4 book two rooms, and so on.
Should I include car rental in my estimate?
Only tick "Include car rental" if you are renting — not if you are driving your own vehicle. Rental rates are daily averages that cover unlimited mileage for the selected vehicle class.
