Plan a trip across several countries and know before you leave: which vignette each country needs, what the tolls cost, what has to be in the car — and what to check before you drive off. Ruto is a trip planner for caravans, motorhomes and cars crossing borders. Enter where you're going and what you drive; Ruto splits the route into stages and gives you a card for every country on the way: the vignette category for your vehicle, tolls and bridges, low-emission zones, compulsory equipment, winter tyres, child seats, where overnight parking is allowed — with a cost estimate for the whole trip. It is not a sat-nav and not a campsite database: it hands the route to your maps app and points you to the stopover apps you already use. Rules cover more than 20 European countries — from Norway to Portugal, including the UK. Tired of piecing it together from three apps, a forum thread and a spreadsheet? WHAT RUTO DOES — Country cards — vignette, tolls, low-emission zones, equipment, winter tyres, overnight rules, all filtered by your vehicle — Vehicle profiles — car, car with caravan, motorhome, van: dimensions, weights, fuel, gas bottles, bike rack — Trip costs — vignettes, tolls, fuel and stops estimated before you go, fuel-ups logged on the way — Checklists from the route — compulsory equipment for every country you cross, documents, gas adapters, load check — Rituals — leaving a pitch (cable, steadies, step, roof hatches) and arriving, as tick lists — Crew and kids — child seat rules per country, vests, first-aid kit contents, helmets — Vehicle records — MOT, insurance, gas inspection, tyre age, damp check, with reminders — My places — save a spot from the map or GPS with a note and pin it to a stage — Every rule shows its source and the date it was last checked PRIVACY — No account, no sign-up — trips, vehicles and places stay on your phone — Works offline — the rules pack is built in — No ads, no tracking FREE AND PLUS Free: your first trip, complete — every feature, unlimited vehicles, vehicle records and reminders for good. Plus: your second trip and every trip after it. Privacy Policy: https://1tnt.link/ruto/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://1tnt.link/ruto/eula.html

About

Camperada

Camperada plans the whole motorhome trip, not just the route: routing with your vehicle's dimensions, campsites, travel days with nights, fuel and tolls. Free, no account. A ROUTE THAT KNOWS YOUR DIMENSIONS • Height, width, length and weight go into the route calculation, so low bridges and weight limits stay out. If that fails for one of your stops, Camperada tells you and continues in the car profile. • The finished route is then checked once more against the height, width, length and weight limits from OpenStreetMap. Possible pinch points show up as a list and as markers on the map. • Don't know your dimensions yet because you're renting first? Start with the reference values of a vehicle class, from campervan to A-class, all up to 3.5 tonnes. • Set stops via place search, tap the map or drag a marker. Reorder, reverse the route, avoid motorways, toll roads or ferries. KILOMETERS BECOME TRAVEL DAYS • Driving time per day between 2 and 12 hours, nights per stop freely adjustable. • With a departure date every stop gets its calendar day. You see right away whether the tour fits your days off. • If a leg is longer than your driving day, Camperada schedules a night on the way, shows where it falls on the route and searches for campsites right there. WHAT THE TRIP COSTS • Fuel from consumption, tank size and the prices of the countries you drive through, weighted by share of the route. Fuel stops sit as markers on the map. • Vignettes and fixed special tolls as amounts, among others for Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. • Distance-based tolls in Italy, France and Croatia as a range. A single number would be a guess. • Overnight stays as a range from low to high season, per country. • Where no reliable tariffs exist, you get a note instead of a number. RENTING A MOTORHOME • Daily rate and flat fees from your offer, the deposit shown separately instead of mixed in. • Your route checked against the mileage allowance, extra kilometers priced. Not booked yet? Camperada tells you beforehand how big the allowance needs to be. CAMPSITES WHERE YOUR DAY ENDS • Around 208,000 campsites and motorhome pitches worldwide from OpenStreetMap. • Discover them on the map or search around each stop, filtered by campsite, motorhome pitch and dump station. • Amenities, address and website, as far as the data provides them. • One tap makes a site the overnight stay of your stop, or inserts it into the route where it costs the smallest detour. BEFORE YOU LEAVE • Your plan becomes a checklist: which vignette for which country, each with the official shop instead of a reseller, plus documents and gas. • Weather forecast per stop, up to 16 days ahead. NO DESTINATION YET, JUST TIME AND A BUDGET • Say where you start, how many days you have and what the trip may cost. You get pre-calculated routes with travel days, nights and a cost range for the outbound leg. Pick one and Camperada recalculates with your start, your return and your vehicle. TAKE IT ALONG, FIND IT AGAIN • GPX 1.1 or KML, each with waypoints and track: for your sat nav, map apps or Google Earth. • Save with a code, no sign-up. Open the plan on any device and share it. • Optional free account for saved routes and vehicles, deletable in the app. • The interface is available in English and German. WHAT CAMPERADA DOESN'T DO • No turn-by-turn navigation. Camperada plans, your GPS drives. • No ratings, photos or prices for the sites. • No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking. • An internet connection is required. DATA AND SOURCES Maps, sites and restrictions from OpenStreetMap and its contributors (ODbL). Place search via Nominatim, routing via OpenRouteService, national fuel prices from the EU Commission's Weekly Oil Bulletin, overnight prices from the PiNCAMP price analysis, weather via Open-Meteo.
