How to Split Road Trip Costs: Fuel, Tolls and Parking
On a road trip one person's car does all the work, so splitting only the fuel often leaves the driver paying for the rest.

These costs belong to the trip itself. Divide them equally between everyone in the car, with the driver counting as one of the people.
Think about the wear on the car
A car loses value and needs servicing the more it is driven. Many groups add a small per-kilometre or fixed amount for the driver, agreed before leaving.
Log costs as they happen
Add each fuel stop or toll with a photo. The total is clear at the end, and nobody has to estimate from memory.
