## Limitations

Tool outputs are planning estimates, not booking quotes.

The road-trip calculator excludes accommodation, meals, attraction tickets, insurance, fines and tolls outside Bulgaria. Fuel, rental and parking inputs are editable. Confirm live prices, e-vignette validity and the vehicle registration before paying.

The itinerary planner uses rounded editorial transfer allowances and a versioned recommendation ruleset, not a live timetable or generative model. Confirm exact transport, road, weather and opening conditions before booking.

The transport comparator uses dated planning ranges for 15 intercity route pairs, not live departures or booking inventory. Train and coach tickets are multiplied by party size; transfer and driving estimates are vehicle-based. Driving shows fuel only unless the separate road-trip calculator is used. Expired route ranges are hidden pending editorial review.

The trip-budget calculator excludes travel to Bulgaria unless the user adds it under group extras. Its backpacker, classic and comfort values are editable editorial starting scenarios rather than live market feeds. Confirm accommodation, transport and activity prices before booking.

The best-time planner and packing-list generator use the same versioned monthly climate profiles, not a forecast. The packing list uses editorial quantity and activity rules, saves checklist state only in local browser storage, and cannot guarantee baggage fit. Confirm live weather, entry requirements, carrier restrictions, trail conditions and resort operations before departure.
