Have you ever compared the cost of flying with the cost of driving or taking a train? We did. Here are the costs associated with driving, flying, and taking the train from Chicago to Orlando, Fla., and back. These estimates are for costs between the two cities, and do not include costs for while you’re there.
Keep in mind fees change frequently, so what’s listed here may not be available when you book.
Airfare costs--A check on www.expedia.com and www.orbitz.com reveals the lowest round-trip airfare on a major airline is $125 on American Airlines.
Round-trip airfare for two (plus booking fees): $261
Miscellaneous: $100
Total: $361
Driving costs--The drive between Chicago and Orlando is 1,148 miles each way.
If you don’t like driving straight through, find a midway stopping point before leaving home, then compare lodging costs on the Internet and reserve a room. We chose Chattanooga, Tenn., and found that the Ramada Inn off I-24/I75 had a room rate of $50 plus tax.
We budgeted $50 a day for meals.
AAA suggests using a budget of $10.80 per 100 miles for gas, oil, tires, and maintenance. That’s based on mileage estimates of 23 miles per gallon.
Lodging (round-trip): $100 plus tax
Meals (round-trip): $200
Miscellaneous: $100
Car maintenance (round-trip): $248.40
Total: $648.40
Railroad costs--Maybe you want to ride the rails (www.amtrak.com, 800-872-7245). From Chicago to Orlando the least expensive route is $260 per person. That low-priced ticket is for a seat--not a sleeper car, and the trip takes two full days, with a layover on the way out, and on the way back.
Rail ticket (coach): $520 for two ($988 for a sleeper car)
Meals: about $40 per person a day ordering all meals on the train: $160
Miscellaneous: $100
Total: $780 (coach) or $1,088 (sleeper)
