Overland Route Cost Planner Lite

**Overland Route Cost Planner Lite** is a downloadable Excel spreadsheet for estimating the real cost of long-distance overland and surface routes.

Planning a long overland or surface route is not only about fuel. Once your journey includes different countries, ferries, tolls, accommodation, food, border fees, vehicle logistics, repairs, or unexpected delays, the real cost becomes harder to estimate.

This planner helps you organize those costs in one structured spreadsheet. You enter your own checked values for your route, and the spreadsheet calculates the budget estimate for you.
