    Frequently asked questions

    How accurate is this trip budget calculator?

    It's built for planning, not for a guaranteed quote. Distances come from real coordinates stretched for road curvature, and prices default to realistic nationwide averages — but actual fuel prices, tolls, fares and hotel rates vary by city and by the day, so treat every number here as a solid starting estimate to adjust as you learn more.

    Does CostMyTrip book tickets, hotels or cabs?

    No — this is a planning and budgeting tool only. It doesn't book anything or connect to any live booking system. Once you're happy with a plan, you'll still book your train, flight, cab or hotel separately.

    Is my trip data saved anywhere?

    Your route, dates, travellers, saved trips and preferences are kept only in your own browser on this device, so your plan is still there next time you open this page. Your trip details are never sent to a server. To move a plan to another phone or share it with friends, use Share on WhatsApp or the trip code — clearing your browser data clears saved trips.

    Can I change the fuel price, tolls or fares to match today's rates?

    Yes — every number in the transport section is editable. Tap "check today's fuel price" or "today's toll rates" next to those fields to look them up, then type in what you find.

    How does the calculator handle travelling with children?

    Children aged 5–12 are costed at roughly half the adult rate for food and fares. Infants under 5 are free on trains, buses and for food, and about 10% on flights. Hotels are priced per room, so an infant doesn't add a room. Adjust rooms and prices under Fine-tune if your situation differs.

    What if my destination isn't in the list?

    Search covers hundreds of cities and towns across India, and goes down to mandals, villages and places of interest in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. If a place is missing, choose "Not listed? Add it as your own place" in the search results and pick the nearest listed town. CostMyTrip estimates distances from that town, and the Google Maps link still uses your exact place name.

    How are the distances and travel times worked out?

    Distances are estimated from the coordinates of each place, stretched to allow for road curvature, so they sit close to typical road distances but are not live routing. Travel time uses average speeds for your mode of transport. For turn-by-turn directions and live traffic, use the Open in Google Maps link.

    How is the day-by-day itinerary made?

    It is built from your route, number of days and daily pace. Travel days are sized to your driving limit, and explore days use places from CostMyTrip's own list plus any you saved. It is a set of suggestions, not bookings, and you can add your own plans to any day.

    Can I use CostMyTrip in Hindi?

    Yes. Tap हिन्दी at the top of the page. Main screens, buttons and budget labels switch to Hindi, while longer place tips and itinerary suggestions stay in English.

    What is Trip mode?

    Trip mode is a simpler view for when you are already travelling. It hides the planning steps and shows today's plan, nearby help, emergency numbers and a quick way to log what you spend.

    How do I share or save my plan?

    Open "Share, save and compare trips" under your budget. You can copy a link, copy a trip code, send the plan on WhatsApp, or save it on this device to compare with other plans later. Anyone with the link or code can open the same plan.

    Is CostMyTrip free to use?

    Yes. There is nothing to buy and no account to create.
