list of expenses to include in a travel budget

Travel, though fun and satisfying, is expensive. You should not take a trip without knowing how much it is going to cost you. A realistic travel budget will give you not only some peace of mind, but some direction on how much you actually have to spend. Here are some things to consider:

summer travel

  • Administrative – passports, visas, maps
  • Tickets – boat, train, or plane
  • Auto – car rental, gas, tolls
  • Lodging – camp sites, hotels
  • Food – pack your own, restaurants
  • Entertainment – attractions, museums, concerts
  • Shopping – gifts, souvenirs
  • Pet/Child Care

    Great point Jodi. Multiply $10 to park your car by the number of days in your trip and you’ve added quite a chunk.

    If you fly – don’t forget the parking at the airport. Here in Boston, airport parking is crazy-expensive!
