§01/ 02What you get

Everything you need to plan a van trip. Free.

No subscription, no credits, no account required. WiseTrip is free to use — we only show what we can verify, and we're honest about where our coverage doesn't reach yet.

🧭

Plan a real route

Tell us where you're headed. Get a route with verified overnight spots, low-bridge warnings and cost estimates — you plan the daily pace yourself.

Instant · free

🚐

Built for your actual van

Height, weight and length are part of the plan — not an afterthought. Low bridges and access restrictions are flagged on your route, before you turn, not discovered the hard way.

Most apps treat you as a car

🗺️

Browse every verified spot

A clustered map of aires, campsites, dump stations, water, fuel and more across the region. Toggle the layers you care about; ignore the ones you don't.

Explore without planning

Honest by design. Every spot comes from verified open data, never invented. Where we don't have coverage yet, we tell you — instead of guessing.

§02/ 02Good to know

Things people ask before they plan a trip.

How much does WiseTrip cost?

It's free. No subscription, no credits, no card. Plan as many trips as you like and browse the whole map without paying anything. If WiseTrip grows, we may add optional paid extras later — but the core planning and the map stay free.

Do I need an account?

No. You can build a full plan and browse every spot without signing up. An account will only ever be needed to save trips for later — and that's optional too.

How accurate are the cost estimates?

The cost is an estimate, not a quote. We work out fuel from the route distance and a typical diesel consumption and price, plus a rough overnight cost. It's there to give you a realistic ballpark — actual prices vary by station, season and where you stay. Tolls and vignettes aren't included yet, so budget a little extra for toll roads.

Which areas do you actually cover?

We're honest about this: our verified spot and hazard data currently covers the Alps corridor — roughly Munich down through Austria to Lake Garda and the Slovenian coast. Routes inside that get full overnight, servicing and bridge data. We're expanding region by region, and if you plan a route we don't cover yet, we'll tell you plainly rather than guess.

If it's free, what's the catch?

No catch and no paywall. WiseTrip runs on open data and lean infrastructure, and it's supported by advertising — which is how we keep the planning and the map free for everyone, with no account required. We don't sell your data. If we add paid features one day, they'll be genuine extras; what you see today stays free.

What if my van is weird (4x4, expedition, oversize)?

The planner accepts up to 4.0m height, 12m length, 7.5t GVW with full hazard awareness. Anything above that uses an "advisory" routing — we'll tell you when we're not 100% confident. Most overlander builds are inside our coverage.

Can I take the plan with me on the road?

You can keep the plan open in your browser, and exporting it as a GPX track and printable PDF is on our near-term list so you can load it into Garmin, OsmAnd or your phone for offline use. For now, the plan and map work anywhere you've got signal.

How is this different from Park4Night / Campercontact?

Those are databases — great ones, we use some of their data. WiseTrip is a planner: it knows your van's measurements, it does the routing, it sequences your days, it warns you about things that are not in any camp database (bridges, zones, adapters). We complement Park4Night; we don't replace it.

Who is behind this?

A small independent team of van travellers and engineers based in Europe. We got tired of planning every leg of a trip twice — once for the route, once for everything a van actually needs — so we built the tool we wanted. You can email us any time; a real person answers.

I don't drive a van — does this work for caravans / 4x4 + tent?

Yes. The profile system handles caravans (tow logic, length, sway), pickups with rooftop tents, and 4x4 expedition rigs. If you have something unusual, email us — we'll set the profile up with you.
