Road Trip Planning Tips
Hidden Costs
Budget for tolls (major European routes, US turnpikes), parking in cities, motorway services food (typically 30–50% above supermarket prices), and a contingency fund of 10–15% for unexpected expenses.
Fuel Price Variation
Motorway service stations often charge 10–20p/litre more than supermarket forecourts. Fill up at supermarkets before joining motorways on long trips to save meaningfully.
Booking Accommodation
Booking accommodation 2–4 weeks ahead on weekdays typically saves 20–40% versus booking same-day or at weekends. Staying 15–20 minutes outside major city centres can halve hotel costs.
