You've been talking about it for months, and now you and your wife decide that it's finally time for you and your family to go on that trip to Washington, DC. You plan to go for a week, but do you fly or drive? What are the costs? Which is more cost effective?

We at Bero have created a simple to use app that plans your trip for you and gives you an estimate as to how much it will cost you to fly or drive to any city in the U.S.

How to use an app that plans your trip for you

We at Bero wanted to create a easy to use app that plans your trip for you. The first step in using this app is to put in the city you are traveling from and the city that you are traveling to. We then use the distance between each city to calculate the price of a plane ticket vs fuel cost, and the time to travel between each city.

Once you type in your starting city and ending city, with Bero, our app that plans your trip for you, you are able to see how much it will cost you to drive to a certain location, and the trip time to get to that destination.

We also factor in cost of dining, hotel costs, and even how much it will cost you to rent a car. The best part is, you can toggle all these numbers yourself to get a better perspective of how much your trip will cost.

Why should you use an app like Bero?

Deciding whether to fly or drive, the costs and times associated with this decision, and more, can be daunting. This is exactly why we created an app that plans your trip for you to help you with this.
Just remember, when using our app that plans your trip for you, keep these factors in mind:

• The amount of people traveling
• Where are you traveling to? Different cities have different hotel costs, dining costs, etc.
• Are you staying in a hotel or AirBnb, as they will have different prices? Which amenities are more favorable to you?
• Do you plan on making your own food that you may buy from the store, or buy food? Add this to your total dining costs

Of course, when Bero calculates all of these costs, these are just estimates. But, using our app that plans your trip for you can definitely help you get started calculating your trip costs.

Are adding gas costs necessary?

When using our app that plans your trip for you, make sure to factor in gas costs to the total costs. The longer you drive, the more it will cost you in fuel, correct?

If you know the average price of gas, say $5, all you need to do is type that into the Cost of Gas box, and we will calculate for you how much gas you will be spending on your trip.

Why do you need to know how much you will spend on gas when using an app that plans your trip for you?

Well, gas is an important cost to know, as you will need to make sure you have enough money to spend on it, especially with gas prices increasing. However, because gas prices are not the same, and vary depending on where you go, the figures in the app are just an estimate, and you will need to factor this in when using an app that plans your trip for you like Bero.

How much will it cost you in gas to travel? Say your trip distance is 500 miles, gas costs $5, and your car takes 25 miles per gallon. You will simply multiply 500 x $5, which is $2500, and divide by 25 miles per gallon, which leaves you with a total gas cost of $100. This is important to keep in mind when using an app like Bero that plans your trip for you.

If driving, factor in MPG

When using our app that plans your trip for you, in order to add up driving expenses to closely represent your trip costs, you will need to weigh in how many miles per gallon that your car gets.

The more miles per gallon that your car gets, especially on the highway, means that you will spend less on gas. But if your car does not gat that many miels per gallon, you will spend more on gas. Also, the distance that you are traveling plays a big part.

If you know that your car does not get that many mpg, does it still make sense to drive, or could flying be an option? This is why we created Bero, the app that plans your trip for you. Try us out and see what you think.

Staying at a hotel or AirBnb? Keep this in mind

Another key point to recognize when using an app that plans your trip for you is how much your hotel costs will be.

Let's say you're driving from Houston to New York. You probably will not drive the whole way in one day, which means that you will need to get a hotel. But how much will that cost? These are extra costs that are important to keep in mind, which you can include in our app Bero, the app that plans your trip for you and compares trip costs.

This is also an important cost to factor in when deciding whether to fly or drive. Is your goal to see more scenery, and take the scenic route? Then maybe staying at a hotel and the associated costs is a good plan. Or, do you want to get to your destination quicker, and don't want to worry about hotel costs? Maybe you should fly.

In our app that plans your trip for your, simply type in the amount of miles you will drive per day to reach our destination, and our cost to drive calculator will determine how many nights you will stay at a hotel. You can also type in how much you think it will cost you per night to stay at a hotel, and we will factor this into your total driving cost.

Planning your trip - fly or drive?

When using Bero, the app that plans your trip for you and comapares trip costs, trying to add up all the costs associated with flying and driving can be overwhelming. So how can you break them down?

Keep this in mind: If you are flying, you will want to plan for flight ticket costs, as well as rental car costs, dining costs, among others.

If you are driving, you will need to keep in mind costs like fuel expenses, hotel costs, dining costs, and more.

One factor also to keep in mind when using an app that plans your trip for you is the travel time. How long do you want to travel for? This could determine whether you think it's more beneficial to fly or drive.
