The True Cost of a Road Trip

Later this month, Eric and I will be heading south on a road trip to Las Vegas by way of Reno and back. I'll be posting along the way of our stops and food and such. While I have a lot of experience road tripping, I know others do not and aren't always prepared for the costs if they don't plan ahead of time.

Packing well and booking ahead can help save you quite a bit of money, but if you're traveling during the shoulder or off-season, look for coupons and deals for hotels along the way at rest stops. 

How do you save money on your road trips?
