Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the fuel cost calculation?
Our trip cost calculation is highly accurate, based on the route distance, your vehicle's stated fuel efficiency, and the fuel price you provide. However, real-world factors like traffic, driving style, road conditions, and terrain can cause slight variations in actual fuel consumption.
Can I calculate the cost for an electric vehicle (EV) journey?
Yes! Our tool fully supports electric vehicles. Simply toggle the "EV" option, enter your vehicle's energy consumption (e.g., in kWh/100km or kWh/mile) and the local electricity price. You can also use the map feature to locate EV charging stations along your planned route.
Is my travel and location data stored?
No. We are committed to user privacy. The tool is designed to be completely anonymous. We do not require registration, and we do not store any of your input data, such as start and end cities or vehicle details, on our servers.
How does the calculator help with saving on gas?
By providing a clear cost breakdown before you travel, our tool empowers you to make smarter decisions. You can experiment with different routes, compare fuel costs for various vehicles, or even see how a more fuel-efficient driving style could impact your budget, helping you save on gas expenses for every trip.
Does the calculator include road tolls, USA tolls and European vignettes?
Yes! Our trip cost calculator automatically estimates road tolls and highway fees for your route worldwide, including USA toll roads, turnpikes, and bridge tolls. For European countries with vignette systems (Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria), we show the required vignette prices. We also calculate tolls for France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other countries with per-distance toll systems. If you want to avoid toll roads and save money, simply select the "Cheapest" route option - this will calculate a toll-free route that avoids all highway tolls and vignettes, showing you the most economical path to your destination.
What is the Scenic Route option?

You'll see pink camera markers on the map showing each attraction, complete with ratings, photos, and links to learn more. It's perfect for road trips when you want to explore and discover new places along the way.
How do I see tourist attractions on my route?
Simply select the "Scenic" route type before calculating your trip. Our system will automatically search for top-rated tourist attractions along your planned route and display them as pink markers on the map. Click any marker to see the attraction name, rating, a photo (when available), and quick links to Google Search, Google Images, and Google Maps for more information. This feature works worldwide - from California road trips to European adventures!
What's the difference between Fastest, Cheapest, and Scenic routes?
Fastest: Calculates the quickest route to your destination, typically using highways and major roads. Cheapest: Avoids toll roads, turnpikes, and paid highways to minimize your travel costs - great for budget-conscious travelers. Scenic: Plans your route through interesting tourist attractions and landmarks, turning your drive into a sightseeing experience. Each option shows the total distance, estimated time, fuel costs, and any applicable tolls or vignettes.
How much will my trip cost?
That depends on your route, vehicle, and fuel prices.

Does it work for cross-border journeys in Europe?
Absolutely. Our tool is designed for cross-border journeys and international road trips. It automatically detects border crossings and calculates the correct motorway tolls, electronic vignette (e-vignette) costs, road tax, and tunnel fees for each country on your route. Real-time currency conversion ensures your travel budget stays accurate across borders.
Can I split costs with other passengers?
Yes! After calculating your route, you can use the cost sharing feature to split costs between passengers. The tool divides all expenses — fuel costs, toll charges, and vignette fees — evenly, so everyone knows their share. It's ideal for group road trips and carpooling to save money on fuel.
