Taking a long round trip drive (15 hrs). Staying overnight in hotel/motel. Will spend approximately $300 on gas (roundtrip). How much in cash is safe to bring? Will most likely pay for toll from US to Canada dont know that fare.
King Solomon,
Are you sure there are $29.00 hotels? In Maine (Portland maybe)? Have not seen those in ages. But I like your answer.

Wow ! This is some puzzle, right ? Long round trip , lets say average highway speed of 60 mph over 15 hours = 900 miles and lets assume the worse , that you are driving a car that achieves 20 mpg so you will need about 45 gallons x an average price today of $ 4 = $ 180 . There are hotels for $ 29 a night and there are some for $ 290 a night . I'm quite sure that a penny pincher would stay at the cheapest . So , lets add up what we have so far $ 290 + $ 29 = $ 319 . These days tolls are pay by plate , they take a picture of your tag and mail you a bill . I suggest you bring $ 500 to be on the safe side and you should really think of securing a credit card soon even if its a debit card .

as minimum as possible and necessary
