    Why most road trip planners fail in Europe

    The big planners — Roadtrippers, Furkot, Wanderlog — were built around the American road trip. They assume one country, one set of rules, one driving culture, predictable fuel stops, and motels every fifty miles. Cross from France into Italy and a planner like that has nothing to say about the ZTL zones that will fine you €100 for driving through Florence's old town, or the fact that your 3.5-tonne van isn't allowed on most of Switzerland's secondary roads at the weekend.

    Europe rewards travelers who know the local rules. Wild camping is fully legal in Sweden under allemansrätten but will get you a fine in France unless you're in an official aire. Germany's Stellplätze are a parallel infrastructure most non-Germans never discover. Spain's areas de autocaravanas range from free municipal stops to €25 resort-style sites within a few kilometers of each other. Portugal changed its motorhome laws in 2021, and most blog posts you'll find online are still wrong about it.

    VanRoute AI was built around this reality. Every route we generate accounts for vehicle weight limits, low-emission zones, country-specific overnight parking laws, ferry schedules between islands, mountain pass closures, and the practical things that actually shape a van trip — where you can refill water, where LPG is sold, which border crossings have customs delays.

    Built for the way people actually travel

    Tell the planner you're traveling with a four-year-old and routes shorten, stop frequency increases, and family-friendly aires get prioritized. Tell it you want to wild camp wherever it's legal and the suggestions reorganize around Scotland, Scandinavia, and the parts of Spain and Portugal where it's tolerated. Tell it you've got three weeks in September and the weather logic pushes you south rather than into a Norwegian fjord that will already be closing for the season.

    Start with a country, a region, or just two cities and a number of days. The planner does the rest.

    Frequently asked questions.

    eight things travellers ask before they leave

    01How does VanRoute AI plan my road trip?
    You describe your trip in one sentence — where you're going, how long, and who's coming. Our AI builds a day-by-day itinerary with stops, distances, toll estimates, wild-camping rules, and seasonal tips.
    02Is VanRoute AI free to use?
    Yes — your first trip plan is completely free, no account needed. Create a free account to keep planning, and to save, share and export your routes.
    03What countries does VanRoute AI cover?
    We focus on Europe — from Portugal to Norway, Scotland to Greece. The AI knows country-specific rules for wild camping, tolls, speed limits, and border crossings.
    04Can I export my trip to GPS or Google Maps?
    Yes. Signed-in users can download their trip as a GPX file (for Garmin, Maps.me, etc.) or open the full route directly in Google Maps.
    05Do I need an account?
    Not for your first trip — plan it without signing up. A free account lets you keep planning, save trips, share routes with a link, export to GPX, and personalise your recommendations.
    06Does VanRoute AI know the wild camping rules for each country?
    Yes. The planner includes country-specific wild camping and overnight parking laws — from Sweden's allemansrätten to France's aire system and Portugal's updated motorhome regulations.
    07Can I adjust my route after it's generated?
    Absolutely. Use the refine box to add stops, shorten the trip, change the route focus, or adjust for weather. The AI rebuilds around your changes.
    08Is VanRoute AI useful for motorhomes and larger vehicles?
    Yes. The planner accounts for vehicle size when suggesting routes — avoiding roads with weight limits, low bridges, or tight mountain passes that aren't suitable for larger vans and motorhomes.
