A group road trip has fuel, tolls and possibly rental costs. This calculator combines fuel and extra costs, then divides by the number of people so everyone can settle up quickly.
The Formula
Total = Fuel + Extras; Per person = Total ÷ PeopleFrequently Asked Questions
Should the driver pay less?
Many groups split fuel evenly but let the driver skip a share for wear and driving. Agree the rule before the trip.
Does this include rental cost?
Add the rental to extras before splitting. Insurance and young-driver fees should also go there.
