A new study reveals the cheapest and most expensive states for traveling in the fall.
The team at BravoDeal has indexed each US state weighted by four different factors that would determine the cost of transport.
The data used in the study is sourced from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Numbeo, and Greyhound.
Indicative factors include average air ticket price (from quarter four of 2023), taxi fare per mile, average train ticket price to a neighboring state, and average bus ticket to a neighboring state.
Each state receives an overall index score out of 100. All data is gathered between the months of September to November.

“Traveling across the US during the fall can vary widely in cost depending on several factors.
“There are several ways you can save money when traveling from state to state.
“Planning your transportation and accommodation early can help you lock in lower prices.
“It is also recommended to avoid peak seasons and national holidays when prices are higher.
“There are discount websites and apps for deals on flights, hotels, and car rentals such as Travelzoo and Kayak.
“For state-to-state travel, using buses, trains, or carpooling services instead of flights will help to cut costs.”
