What this means

A road trip's big cost is usually fuel — distance times your car's consumption times the fuel price — plus tolls and parking. Adding those together gives the trip's total; dividing by the number of passengers shows the fair share per traveller. This makes it easy to compare a road trip against flying or train, and to split costs fairly among friends.

Recommendations

  • Fill the 'fuel price' with the real price en route, not your home city's — fuel can be far more expensive near highways or borders.
  • Include return-trip distance in the 'trip distance' for a round-trip total.
  • Divide by all adults; kids usually ride for free when splitting the bill.

Watch out

  • This covers fuel, tolls and parking — not food, hotels, wear and tear, or insurance.
  • Fuel economy is an assumption; a loaded car and roof box consume noticeably more.
