What is NOT included......

The Banger ...

£789 is the target. However we are aware that prices have increased recently so there is wiggle room on this value! Or bring your daily drive/pride and joy. 

Insurance ...

Each vehicle will need to be fully insured as will the team drivers. We will ask to see proof of insurance at registration. If you are driving a banger, there are specialist insurance companies who will provide this such as Adrian Flux Insurance Consultants.

As a guide, last year we paid £124 for 10 days cover, two male drivers in a 1.8 petrol. It’s not as expensive as you may think, but you need it. If you are under 21, check you can obtain insurance for this event.

Accommodation ...

This is really up to you, you can camp, you can sleep in the back of your car, you can youth hostel, you can sofa surf or you can treat yourself to a range of accommodation available in and around our destinations. As a guide expect to pay £65 to £80 for two sharing at a 3* hotel. Airbnb, Booking.com are great ways to get a good deal. Camping is also a great way to keep costs down. We have a list of suggested hotels and campsites that we use each year for each route. 

Food & Drink ...

Sorry to disappoint, but food and drink is not included. 

Ferry/Tunnel Crossing ...

Depends if you decide to drive back to the UK? If not it’s one of the only times you may purchase a one way ticket! We pay £130 ish on a Folkstone-Calais tunnel, the ferry can be cheaper if booked in advance.

Toll Roads/Vignettes ...

This will depend on your chosen route, there will be times when we cannot avoid tolls (mainly in France) in order to reach our final destination. Remember, the more in your team, the more costs are shared.

An Austrian vignette is required  on the Original Route to drive on motorways in Austria, this is less than 10 euros, there are also a few tolls in italy and the last part of France.

Vignettes are required for the Romanian Route for Austria (10 Euros), Hungary (17 Euros) & Romania (10 Euros). 

Fuel ...

It may be slightly cheaper across the channel, you can estimate costs with our route millage for each day within the individual routes. 

Breakdown Cover ...

We recommend this, the cost will be dependant on the make, model and age of your vehicle. Please check the T&C's of your cover. 

Flights ...

If you decide to scrap your car in France/Spain/Portugal/Romania, this will be the quickest way back to the UK. Easyjet fly from Nice, France to Gatwick, Stanstead, Liverpool, Newcastle & Edinburgh. Many flights also available from Barcelona back to the UK. Flights readily available from Lisbon and Bucharest OTP. Skyscsanner is a great App to check out flight routes and prices.
