entry fees for rallies such as the Gumball 3000, the AKA Rally, the Players Rally, etc.... range between $1500 - $15000 depending on the rally you want to go on
some have strict regulations about what type of cars they allow and such
some are very laid back and allow almost anyone who wants to go
pretty much all of them have age restrictions (ie: 21+)
any organized rally you go on will provide hotels and VIP access to the parties thrown every night at each city you stop off in, food at the hotel/party is usually covered as well, food on the road is up to you, gas is up to you, any tickets you get are up to you, bail money is up to you... with that said rallies are not races, no money or prize is given for reaching the end first. therefore if you dont want tickets DONT GET THEM, there is nothing saying you need to drive across the country at 150+mph, its what you see mostly in the videos because frankly, thats what sells, watching people drive 80 on the highway isnt very interesting.
