Fixed, thanks the selected country now draws on top with its whole border.

Yes, thats quite common practise and hey when on holiday, it might not be so bad if its not mountains and low torq

Traps for travellers, but to be honest also learned that in Netherlands, better to pay the E-toll atleast when it first comes by mail, coming from Zeeland to Rotterdam, was that a E-toll sign, maybe nothing..

Thats so true, I have to admit, but only did that mistake twice, the first and the last time.

Yes, when travelling to Finland this has been a headache, should I buy the yearly, then trying to calculate all the different route options to Helsinki, theres lots of ferry possibilities and they have all kind of discounts and such that make the whole calculation even harder. Ferries from Estonia, Germany and Sweden..

Thanks!

Yes very interesting point: we only count the cost of the trip itself, not owning the car. Registration and annual fees are a whole other layer, and Denmark might extreme case, tough Netherlands isnt much better.

I don't have data on driving per car versus ownership fees, but it would be a interesting comparison, and it fits with why road pricing keeps coming up in Denmark.

In our data France is infact the dearest per kilometre, now when taking a closer look: about €11 per 100 km for a car, more for a camper.

The motorways are run by private concession companies, which is why each stretch has its own booth price.

Free alternative are the N and D roads, slower but toll-free, which is often how locals do longer trips on a budget.

The whole travelling seems to get more expensive with gas prices effecting everything else also, its not just "everything goes" in a holiday, better to plan a bit.

Yes, exactly, last time driving from Reims to Paris and then to Belgium started to really think about that when driving in toll after another, week after that started to work on this.
