HERE ARE THINGS which the financial-obsessive and/or cautious members of this guild have calculated will contribute to the cost


UNMODIFIABLE STUFF (which will be a cost no matter what method we choose to use)
* FLIGHTS at £150 per head; this is based on Croatia Airlines prices.
* CAR HIRE at £150 per head; this is based on Ben's research suggesting that a car can be got for €1000 which fits our criteria.
* FUEL at £65 per head; this is based on a distance of 2,500 miles, an efficiency of 40mpg (I cannot assume better, given a 6-dude van, often country roads and so forth) and cost of £1.30 per litre
* ACCOMMODATION at £225 per head; hostelries appear to be able to cater for us at c. €12 to €20 per night, which we can take to be £15. This will last 15 nights.
* FOOD AND DRINK at £320 per head; let us assume we are pretty frugal but still we are tourists, and that we subsist on £20 per day. This will last 16 days.
* ATTRACTIONS AND OTHER SUCH BSNS at an arbitrary allowance of £120 per head.


FOODSTUFFS AND DRINKING WATER
TOTAL: £1,030 per head?
* £15 per person per day maybe? (this is based on costs in europe and the balkans being fractionally less than those here, but that we will not be eating in the most economic manner due to not living out of a supermarket (for one thing, we won't have a big fridge.) if anyone cares to revise this estimate, go right ahead
this totals £240 per person.
 
ACCOMMODATION
* how do we intend to do this? i have little idea. i will arbitrarily assume that for £15 per person any given town can put a group of five or six up for a night; this is based on www.hihostels.com information and assumes that we are going to do it by youth hostels &c. (the cheapest way)
this also totals £240 per person.
 
OTHER STUFF
* we will want to go in to attractions, museums and so forth maybe? let us assume that for the whole trip this totals £75 per person (based, again, on almost zero data).
* we must allow for random crap, let's allow £75 per person also.
this totals (pretty arbitrarily) £150 per person.
 
UNMODIFIABLE: £630 ph

MODIFIABLE STUFF
 
                    hire          buy
cost of car        ....        £1,300
                                -£900  resale
cost of insurance  ....          £700
                                -£400  cancellation
cost of tax        ....          £120
cost of rent        £900          ....
cost of fuel        £360          £500  assumes 45 mpg
cost of flights    £480 total    ....  calculated at £80 ph return to munich
cost of tunnels    £150          ....
cost of tolls        £30          £50  a bit in france, germany and bosnia
                <u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u>__
 
MODIFIABLE        £1,620        £1,370
                  = £270 ph    = £230 ph
                                however this also requires an additional £220 *float* ph for purchase of car
 
-------
 
TOTALS: £900 ph for hire, £860 ph + £220 ph (hopefully) reclaimable float for purchase
risks involved: hire, we will be charged through the nose in case of accident. buy, we lose the float but only have to pay a pittance for scrapping and a flight home.
