Driving to DW in April and I calculated the cost to drive as follows:
Hotels
Food
Gas
I did not include any wear & tear as the car is a lease and even with the trip we will still be under the mileage allowance when we turn it in. Also, tire rotations and oil changes are included in the lease.
I guess there is some cost in the monthly lease payment that could be allocated to the trip but for budget purposes and comparing the cost to flying I left the wear and tear out.
Does this sound right? Just want to make sure I didn't miss something and my budget is wrong.
I just can't wrap my head around a savings of $1,700+ when comparing driving to a direct flight for 4 people. I figure I must be calculating something wrong.
