What is the price of an all-inclusive trip to the United States in 2025?
Cost of plane tickets, car or RV rentals, restaurants, and activities: you dream of setting foot on American soil, but do you really know how much does an all-inclusive trip to the United States cost in 2024?
Let’s take the example of our two 15-day road trips in the American West, based on 2 people.
According to our calculations, the cost of such a trip averages between £1697 and £4416, depending on the desired package and the time of the year it takes place. Here are the factors to consider to help you assess the price of an all-inclusive trip to the USA in 2025.
Price of a 15-day all-inclusive trip to the United States
Price for a car + accommodation + flight package
Expense items | Low Season departure June 1st | High Season departure July 13th |
Round trip flight from Paris | £551 | £697 |
Car rental | £410 | £592 |
Meals | £622 | £622 |
Accommodation | £1398 | £1517 |
Total price per person for an all-inclusive trip | £1697 | £2813 |
The prices are indicative. They were simulated for a departure on June 1st in low season and July 13th in high season. Obviously, prices can vary depending on the departure date or the range of activities and meals you consume, but this can already give you a good idea.
For this example, I was inspired by our Road Trip in the USA, which starts in Los Angeles and ends in San Francisco. On the agenda, Las Vegas, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Zion, or Yosemite.

Price for an RV road trip
Expense items | Low Season departure June 1st | High Season departure July 13th |
Round trip flight from Paris | £551 | £697 |
RV rental | £1697 | £2 705 |
Meals | £329 | £329 |
Accommodation (campgrounds + hotel on arrival) | £542 | £578 |
Total price per person for an all-inclusive trip | £3119 | £4416 |
For this calculation, I took as an example the 15-day "On the Road" road trip, which takes you through the biggest must-sees of the American West, from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
For the RV, I chose the C21 model which is equipped to accommodate up to 2 adults and 2 children. The rental price can vary depending on the model and the time of year you make your reservation. The earlier you book, the better rates you get. It’s well explained in this article that this is an infallible tip for saving on your RV rental in the United States.
Now, it's up to you to make a choice: car + hotels or RV road trip? Personally, RV road trips are by far my favorite choice. Moreover, here are my 4 good reasons to travel by RV in the USA.

Instead of eating at a restaurant every day, plan for some picnics by stopping at grocery stores or local markets.
