I am very frustrated that I can’t add a date range for one stop. I’d like the days I’ve made reservations for to be on the date as a date range (check in through check out). I would do the waypoints I want to see within those dates but mark them as unrouted on the trip itself. This would help me know the checkout date which is what I’m missing. The option to arrive is already a choice on your site. Why not add an option to depart?
Thank you!

FYI— There weren’t clear directions for posting this question. I recommend you change the create+ to post. Same thing for the reply. You are putting the same term for starting the question or reply to the same term to end it.
Totally get the frustration. Right now, dates in Roadtrippers are designed around when you arrive, not how long you’re planning to hang out. The good news? Our team is actively exploring ways to better handle multi-day stays.
I do have a couple of workaround for you. They are not perfect, but I hope they’ll help you out.
If you’re staying somewhere for multiple nights, you can add that same overnight stop to each day you’ll be there. That way, Roadtrippers knows where you’re waking up each morning and can route you from your overnight spot if you’re using routed waypoints.
Here’s how to do this:
- Click the + Add Waypoint button at the top right of the date in your Trip Itinerary.
- Type in the place name just like it already appears in your trip and add it again.
- Drag and drop it wherever you’d like it to land for that day.
Here’s another idea - and it’s actually my go-to trick when I’m planning my own trips: you can rename your multi-day stop to show how long you’ll be there! That way, the duration is super clear at a glance. That would look like this:
I know these aren’t perfect fixes, but I wanted to make sure you had a few options to work with!
