About This Tool

Planning a solo road trip shouldn’t come with money surprises. This tool gives you an honest number for what your drive will cost, in Euro (€), Dollar ($), or GBP (£), before you even start the car.

Enter your distance, your car’s fuel consumption, and the current fuel price per liter. The calculator does the rest. Don’t know your distance? Pull it from an online map, or let the tool estimate it once you enter your route.

Fuel consumption works the same whether you drive petrol or diesel. Just enter the number from your on-board computer, or calculate it from a recent fill-up and the distance covered. Prices at the pump shift often, and city stations rarely match highway prices, so use whatever rate you expect to pay.

If you’re splitting the trip with others, the total cost divides across passengers automatically. That gives you a real per-person figure, not just a total.

Use this calculator on its own, or pair it with the site’s toll and CO2 calculators for the full cost of your drive, start to finish.
