What might your trip cost?

Choose your destination, trip length and travel style. We will calculate a realistic planning estimate using researched destination costs.

Enter the country as well as the destination. This avoids ambiguity between places with the same name. If we have not priced the destination before, we will research it for you.
Accommodation assumes one private room shared by up to two adults. Daily spending is researched to match the same travel style.

What you will get in your free report

Your personalised report includes:

  • Full estimated cost breakdown
  • Accommodation, food, transport, activities and everyday spending
  • Daily and per-person budget
  • Suggested contingency
  • A safer overall planning budget
  • An explanation of what your chosen travel style assumes
  • Common costs travellers often forget
  • A short list of next planning steps

No spreadsheet required. No need to work out each category yourself.

How the estimator works

The estimator uses researched destination benchmarks and adjusts them for:

  • where you are travelling
  • how long you are staying
  • how many people are travelling
  • your chosen travel style

If we have not priced your destination before, the tool researches it for you.

The estimate is designed to give you a realistic planning figure. It is not a quote, and actual travel costs will vary depending on dates, booking choices and personal spending.

Making Planning Easier

Why We Built It

We are James & Rob, and we are planning and travelling our own extended trips.

One of the hardest parts of planning a longer journey is working out whether the numbers really add up.

Accommodation may look affordable. Flights may seem manageable. Then local transport, food, activities, transfers, visas and all the smaller costs start to build.

We created this estimator to give you a useful starting point before you begin making bookings.

Planning more than one destination?

A single estimate is useful.

A longer trip quickly becomes more complicated.

You may be managing:

  • several destinations
  • flights and trains
  • accommodation bookings
  • deposits and balances still to pay
  • daily spending
  • planning tasks
  • documents and confirmations

That is what The Extended Travel Planner is designed for.

Turn your estimate into a complete trip plan

The Extended Travel Planner helps you:

  • build your route
  • estimate and track your budget
  • record bookings and balances
  • manage planning tasks
  • check your trip for gaps
  • keep everything together as the plan changes
  • create a Travel Pack to take with you
  • Chat with your AI Travel Oracle that understands your trip and can make changes for you

If you are planning a longer, multi-stop trip, this is the next step.
