The main expenses are fuel (30-40%), lodging (25-35%), food (20-25%), and miscellaneous costs like tolls, parking, and attractions (10-15%).
How can I save money on a road trip?
Use gas price apps like GasBuddy, book hotels with rewards points or use camping, pack a cooler with food and drinks, drive at fuel-efficient speeds (55-65 mph), and avoid toll roads when possible.
