Hi Debi,

Use Via Michellin put in your route, type of car, etc and it will give you approximations of petrol and tolls. It is updated frequently and quite accurate ;)

Thanks for that! I,ll get the other half to look at that, planning the route is more his dept than mine! It does sound a good site and the idea of putting toll money in seperate bags is a good one (not something i would of thought of!) thanks for that The Oddities!

Re: Driving to Spain

Just printed off our route, one question though is it well signposted when you get off the ferry

Yes its fairly easy ... you've got the road numbers on your Michelin printout, so just look for the numbers, its easy honest .... If my wife can navigate me through it anyone can :D

Re: Driving to Spain

Being a techy git im tomtom`ing it the whole way.. will print off routes just in case as well :)

Im taking ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao, might be easier on the kids doing it that way, saves them being stuffed in the car for 2 days straight.
You avoid the french tolls, the mileage, having to find a hotel :)

Everything is pretty well sign posted, but just to be on the safe side, purchase a European road map as well to have with you while travelling.

We mapped out the michelin route on the European map and off we went. Didn't get lost once ;)
