it depends on how much damage you have done.
If your radiator cracked and you have to replace hoses and temperature regulator that could be a few hundred dollars.
Is your radiator leaking?

If you damaged your motor I am not sure what goes first so I have no idea how much that would be. My guess is that IF you did motor damage you might have to replace head gasket stuff. That could be another few hundred dollars or more I THINK.
If you pretty much blew the motor you are talking probably a thousand or more

Other than the overheating how was it acting the last time you drove it?
Was it stalling?
Was there smoke coming out from under the hood or from the exhaust pipe?

Are you sure it is the hoses and was not the radiator? when it first started leaking where did you see the water?
Like under the car? on the underside of the hood? Up where the radiator is?
well right now whats happening is that it overheats to probably 5 to 10 mins driving.
the surging has been happening til the car gets warm. doesnt surge anymore. and my neighbor said it might be a heater hose that popped. my fan is not going on when my car heats up.

You may not have extensive damage but you need to get it fixed before you drive even another mile.
