Ok. Here’s the deal:
I have TenClub tickets to Berlin#2 and Copenhagen. On the morning after the Berlin show (July6th), I am going to fly into Copenhagen and rent a car to complete the last leg of the European Tour. I need some traveling partners for a European Roadtrip for the shows between Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen.
Estimated times and costs are listed below. If we have four of us, its less than the costs for tickets on a plane or train to get in between the shows, and we get to drive through some pretty interesting country.
Please PM or email me at: edb at uchicago dot edu if interested. In the rare case that more than 3 people email me, we’ll figure something out. Thanks.
Car Rental:
Average daily rate for a rental car: $60 - $90
Number of days (July 6th to July 10th): 4
Total Price of Car Rental: $240 - $360
Trip Itinerary:
Copenhagan to Stockholm: 659km to 738km (~7 hours driving time - split, if necessary, over two days)
Stockholm to Oslo: 523km (6.5hours driving time – split, if necessary, over two days)
Oslo to Copenhagen: 607km (6.75hours driving time - one day, same day of show)
Total Distance traveled (in km) = 1868km ~ 2000km
Fuel costs:
This is somewhat hard to estimate, and I will break things down in the best and worst case scenarios (as estimates). The Ford Fiesta (and other similar compact European cars) take about 7 Litres of fuel for every 100km. This number is about average, and may be a little better for both the Fiesta (e.g. Ford Fiesta highway mpg is listed at 6.1 Litres / 100km), and other “European” cars. For argument’s sake, lets say that the best fuel economy is 7 Litres / 100km and the worst is 9 Litres / 100km (I’m making this last number up).
According to some Danish website, the cost per litre of “petrol” in Denmark in August of last year was about 1.67 Euros = $2.13. Again, this is somewhat variable, so we’ll say the best case scenario is 1.67 Euros = $2.13 and the worst case is 2.50 Euros = $3.20 per litre (again, I’m just making this number up).
The total cost for “petrol” is then
Worst Case : 2000km * (9 Litres / 100 km) * ( $3.20 / Litre) = $576
Best Case : 2000km * (7 Litres / 100 km) * ( $2.13 / Litre) = $298.20
The total cost for transportation is then:
Worst Case: $90/day for the car + $576 = $936
Best Case : $60/day for the car + $300 = $540
In the case that we have 4 people, this corresponds to a cost per person for getting from Copenhagen to Stockholm to Oslo and back to Copenhagen of:
Total cost for travel (Worst Case) = $234
Total cost for travel (Best Case) = $135

You might wanna compare prices renting your car in Malmö instead of Copenhagen, travelling by train cross the bridge. Might be cheaper to rent the car in Sweden...
Also, you'll need to factor in toll roads to your prices
Yes, I have been to some Pearl Jam concerts. Several of them.
No tollroads in Sweden/Denmark except for the bridge.
There are tollroads in Norway though...
There is tolls in Stockholm but Im not sure what happends if you drive a rented car thru. Pretty sure you dont ned to pay if it would be rented outside of Sweden. (and if you ned to pay it would be maximum 20sek for one entry hopefully that would not ruin you)
