Premium
Save trip scenarios and compare — Fighters plan the year of adventures without surprise bills.
Unlock PremiumFood. Restaurant meals three times a day for a family of four run $60–100 daily and quietly outpace fuel. Cooler + one home-packed meal cuts a big chunk.
Add 10–15% cushion. Every trip has one — dead battery, splurge dinner, unplanned night. Better to over-plan and come home with cash left.
For trips over 1,500 miles, sometimes yes — a rental with 35+ MPG can save fuel and spare your car's depreciation. Run the numbers both ways.
Book last-minute if you can — apps discount unsold rooms 20–40% after 3 PM. Or plan around two-night stays instead of one-night hops (better rates, less packing).
