How a good one runs
What a good road trip plan looks like
There is a meeting point, a leader and a sweeper, a gear list, and a weather call made before anyone leaves home. Introductions come first, so nobody is left at the edge of the group. Most plans land between 3 and 8 people: enough energy, still easy to learn names.
Tip for your first one: bring more water than you think. If the plan has a gear list, it is there because somebody learned the hard way.

Road trip questions
Do I need to be good at road trip?
No. There are no levels for road trip. People come for the company as much as the thing itself.
What does it cost to join?
Your share of the plan’s costs, like a court or a table, split evenly and paid up front. On a free plan, the RSVP the host set. It is charged when the plan happens and is not refunded for cancelling or not coming, so everyone who says yes actually goes. If the plan does not happen, you are not charged.
What if the host cancels?
Nobody is charged, and you get a message straight away. The same happens if the plan does not reach its minimum number of people.
Does the host charge for the ride?
No. When a plan happens on a boat or someone drives the group, the host can only split real costs, like fuel, parking, tolls or a rental. There is no host fee for the ride itself.
Love road trip? Host it.
