Expenses
& Costs.

No hidden fees like tours have. I charge $150 a day plus shared expenses, and everything you'll pay is laid out on this page, up front.

Guide Fee

The Numbers.

My Daily Rate
$150 / day

Per chaser, per day, plus shared daily expenses (fuel, hotel, and food, broken down below). Payable directly to me. Covers my expertise, vehicle, equipment, and 20+ years of experience guiding you safely through the field.

I've kept my prices at a level that makes chasing accessible to people who are genuinely passionate about tornadoes and learning meteorology. It's allowed chasers to travel from as far as Europe, created lifelong friendships, and many partners return for repeat seasons.
