Average price per night - West Coast Trip

[smithlane]

We have just got back from our 3 week West Coast road trip.
Not sure if you can see the figures in the picture but they are all the prices we paid for accommodation, flights, car and any trips or extras.

We are a family of 4 and averaged £183 a night. We obviously went in peak times but could have saved some by not having 1 or 2 bedroom suites/apartments in most of our stays. If you’re happy to all be in one room then you could certainly do it for £150 a night.
We also upgraded our car that bumped up the cost

No problem at all, glad it helps. Let me see if I can get a clearer photo as it looks a bit blurry!

I’m planning a 14 night trip in March 2020 (Monterey, Santa Barbara, LA, Anaheim, San Diego, Las Vegas) and coming in at around £150 per night average. I’ve booked everything on free cancellation rates and have already cancelled and rebooked a few of them more than once! I’m periodically checking but hope to keep it around the £150 mark.

Agree that smithlane’s spreadsheet is excellent!
