Roadtrippers plans the route. Travel Sane organizes the bookings you made along the way.
Roadtrippers is the go-to app for planning a drive: map out a route, drop up to 150 stops from a database of 300,000+ points of interest, estimate fuel and drive time. It's very good at that job, and if you're planning a road trip, use it — we're not going to argue you out of it.
But Roadtrippers plans the route. It doesn't pull together the bookings — the flights to get there, the hotels along the way, the rental car and ferry confirmations sitting in your inbox. That's Travel Sane: paste or forward any confirmation and get one clean itinerary you can share, download, and keep. The two do different jobs, and a lot of road trips need both.
What Roadtrippers is good at
Building a route on a map. Discovering scenic stops, diners, campgrounds, and RV parks along the way. Estimating mileage, drive time, and fuel cost. Sharing a route with the people you're travelling with. Its Autopilot route wizard draws on tens of millions of past trips. For the "where do we drive and what do we stop at" part of a road trip, it's the category leader in the US and Canada. If you're at that stage, use Roadtrippers. This page isn't trying to replace it.
What Roadtrippers isn't built for
Organizing your actual bookings. Roadtrippers is about places on a map, not the confirmation emails for your flights, hotels, trains, and car rental. It won't read an Agoda hotel confirmation or a non-English airline email and slot it into a timeline — that's simply not its job.
What Travel Sane does
It assumes you've already booked things. Paste, forward, or upload each confirmation — any airline, hotel, train, ferry, or car rental, in any language — and Travel Sane reads it and lays every leg out in order on one timeline.
Every trip has a private view-only link anyone can open without an account, and a clean PDF download to print or take offline. Every trip stays saved, so you keep a travel history. One-time $25, no subscription.

Which one to use
Use Roadtrippers to plan the drive and find stops. Use Travel Sane to organize the flights, hotels, and other bookings that surround it — one itinerary you can share and download. On a road trip that starts with a flight and a string of hotel bookings, you'll want both: plan the route in one, keep the confirmations straight in the other.
