Weekend Van Trip Cost Calculator
Estimate a weekend trip’s total cost for your van, and compare against a hotel or staying home. Quick fuel, camping, food and activities breakdown.
How accurate is the hotel vs van comparison?
It fixes fuel, food and activities as the same trip, and swaps only accommodation. That isolates the **sleeping cost** difference cleanly. Real life can vary if you choose pricier meals near hotels or different activities.
What if I wild camp both nights?
Set **Camping €/night = 0** and keep nights as planned. You’ll see the van weekend total drop and the hotel comparison widen accordingly.
Should food be per person or total?
Either works. If you travel as a couple, enter a **combined daily food** number. If you prefer per-person, just multiply by travellers.
How do I use the stay-at-home budget?
Enter what you typically spend across a weekend at home (food, fuel, going out). The tool will tell you if the van trip costs **about the same**, **more**, or **less** than staying home.
Can I use this for a 3–4 day long weekend?
Yes. Increase **days** and **nights**, adjust distance and budgets, and you’ll get updated per-day and total numbers instantly.
