and it depends on how many stops you wanna make. just driving, 5000 is more than enough.

Post by: Great Rumbler on July 16, 2010, 11:00:32 AM: The trip will probably take between three and four days, depending on how often you stop along the way. You could always stretch it out even longer, if you wanted.

Some small towns are really uncomfortable for outsiders, even Americans. Real talk.

I can't see it so I just threw something out there :p

Small American towns are only uncomfortable for people who aren't used to small towns. They just have a different culture than big cities and some people think that makes them rude and shit.

protip: most people in big cities are nice to you because they're trying to sell you something. people in small towns really don't have shit to sell you and don't rely on your business (except tourist attractions like in the pictures above) so they're not going to be overly friendly.

Title: Re: How much money would I need for a Route 66 trip across the USA?
Post by: Great Rumbler on July 16, 2010, 12:38:35 PM: $8-$10 per person per meal
$50-$80 per night at a motel, depending on whether you want somewhere nice or not
$30-$50 per day for gas

Plus whatever extra you spend on souvenirs or at various attractions along the way.

That should give you a rough idea of what it'll cost you.

Define not nice.

Well, if you want:

-Fresh, clean rooms
-Free breakfast
-Nice looking building
-Amenities in the room
-Free internet
-Swimming pool
-And so on

It'll cost you more towards $100 a night.

If you're willing to settle for:

-Dingy rooms that smell of smoke
-Amenities that are limited to a bed and a working bathroom
-A building that's old and shows it
-A pool that has no water in it
-Clientèle that includes druggies

You can probably get away with $40-$50 a night.

It just depends on what you can stand.

Post by: Mupepe on July 16, 2010, 01:05:41 PM: i've done a fair amount of US driving. I personally love it. Every few months I make a 12 hour drive to New Mexico straight through to my house out there and with either my wife or my best friend it's awesome. We drive to Tennesee too. Drove to Colorado a while back.

Don't listen to people. It will all be new to you and you'll have your wife. It will be fun, dude.

Stop at local food places for barbecue and other small town food that will simply blow your mind. And stop at tons of stupid attractions. It's fun. the worlds largest fiberglass fish. The worlds largest milk bottle. the worlds largest ball of twine. the building made out of corn (corn palace). I'm not saying you'll specifically run into those. But shit like that is littered across US highways. It's awesome. Oh and the US tons of small state parks and museums and scenic routes and shit. Stopping at state welcome centers is cool. It's usually like a small museum about the state. Pick up some pamphlets for random facts and cheap souvenirs to take home. Have fun, dude.

I'd settle with the 2nd option even. I just wouldn't want to sleep in a motel with crack dealers next room, ugh.

It's a possibility if you settle for the second option, but there are motels that exist in between those two. The best thing to do is have a plan before you start driving, check up on towns along the way and see what they have to offer in terms of motels. Even call a few of them to ask about rooms and rates.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on July 16, 2010, 01:11:46 PM: Borys, if you have your route mapped out, I highly recommend using Hotwire. You can find three star and four star hotels for around $60 (sometimes less) in a lot of places. That's how I kept my accommodations affordable without worrying about roaches, crime, etc.

Great Rumbler's template is not a bad one, but gas is the killer. I would also make sure you have AAA or some kind of road-side assistance (I guess that's included with a car rental?).

This was what I drove the past month, approximately 3,000 miles:

(http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7921/mapmp.jpg)

And I spent about $1,000 and most of my expenses were paid for - including all of my gas and hotel up the Northeast.

I'm serious, Route 101 is awesome, and much more scenic as it follows along the Pacific Ocean in California, Oregon and Washington.

Ugh, we stayed at Best Western in Paris and thanks but no thanks. Worst of the Big Name hotels for me. But the price sounds great.

If you book with Hotwire and get a three star or better hotel, it's with one of the chains - like Marriott, Choice, etc. All of 'em are solid.

Amex isn't accepted everywhere due to higher service fees compared to Visa and Mastercard. We try to use ours as much as possible to rack up airline miles, but it's best to have a backup option.

What if it breaks in the middle of desert? Willco mentioned AAA I gather that is some kind of auto-assistance but how does it work with rented $500 cars :lol

You can pick up a car in one place and drop it off somewhere else. I think it costs a little more, though.

You might be able to do this depending on the rental agency, but it could cost more.

Either convertible or removable hard top. Either way, open top. Pretty damn roomy. I've done over 40+ hours in road trips in mine and I haven't had a complaint.

Best thing ever is a road trip in an open top sports car. It feels great.

Even then, you have to traverse through hundreds of miles of flat cornfields and soy fields to get to anything interesting.

It's not great but the cost of living is low enough and the brain drain ensures plenty of well paying jobs if you're college educated. I'd rather make $80,000 with ease in bumpkin country than $50,000 competing with coastfags and living in a $1,500/month tiny ass apartment.

Plus the side benefits of marrying dudes and manhandling unsuspecting tourists doesn't hurt.
