Cost Split
💡 Expert Tip
Drivers should get 10-15% compensation for vehicle wear/depreciation. 1000-mile trip = $150 depreciation (AAA estimate). Split gas only = unfair to driver. Add driver bonus: total costs + 15% of gas = fairer split. I drove cross-country, split gas 50/50 ($300 each)—but MY car took $600 wear. Now charge: $600 gas + $90 driver bonus = $690 ÷ 2 = $345 each (fairer).
