Road Trip Planner Prompt

This road trip planner prompt creates complete day-by-day road trip itineraries — route overview, driving times, must-stop and optional detour highlights per day, accommodation and eating recommendations, a pacing assessment with "where to cut if it's too much," practical notes on tolls and driving rules, and what most people miss on the route. Paste into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat, describe your route and priorities, and get an itinerary to plan from.

Most road trips are either too ambitious (you spend it all driving) or too vague (you miss the best bits). This prompt enforces a 4-hour daily driving cap and flags anything over 3 hours as a long day. If the brief is too ambitious for the duration it says so and suggests what to cut. Must-stop recommendations are specific — not "explore the beautiful countryside." Works with Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat model.
