Two families of four people drive together in go on road trip, how to share the cost?

brothers, settle accounts clearly, not to mention two families. Whether friends or relatives, I always settle accounts clearly, and I don't want to affect the relationship because of a little money, especially when I do something in partnership, no one loses, so there will be opportunities for cooperation next time and the relationship will not be affected.

My husband and wife once went to go on road trip with a friend's family and went to Lushan Mountain. Because we were traveling together, we made it clear before going. The AA system and * * * shared all the expenses. Although the money was not much, both sides felt fair afterwards and did not affect the relationship. I wrote down my own practice for reference.

Here's what I did. First, I made a general budget and estimated the total cost. The total cost includes the following expenses:

1.

navigate from the departure point to the destination, and there is a total mileage. Make an estimate according to the fuel consumption of your self-driving car. For example, the fuel consumption of your car is .6 yuan/km, multiplied by 2 times the total mileage, which is the total fuel cost.

Fill up the gas tank before you leave, no matter how much gas there was in the car, fill up the gas tank after the trip, and appoint a person to pay for all the refueling processes in the middle, so that the actual fuel cost will be refunded more and replenished less.

2. Toll.

first estimate a toll, and multiply the total mileage by .5 as the toll. The toll mainly refers to the highway toll, instead of taking the ETC, take the manual passage, actually calculate the paid amount, and designate a person to pay.

3. Accommodation and meals.

Now the accommodation is booked online. Just book two rooms online, appoint one person to book and pay for it. The cost of eating is also very simple. How many meals should we have? We will accept one meal in advance in 2 yuan.

4. Tickets and transportation expenses of scenic spots.

Tickets and transportation fees for scenic spots can be booked online, which is very convenient. Just enter your name and ID card and pay the fees. Keep the screenshot of the order for accounting.

5. Other expenses.

Other expenses include some parking fees, snacks and miscellaneous expenses. If it is shared by two families, it will be included in the total expenses. If it is private, it will not be included. There is not much money in this respect, so don't care too much.

Through the estimation of these expenses, we can calculate the total travel expenses of two families of four people. For example, the estimated total cost is 8, yuan. If I am designated as the payer of all expenses, I will ask the other couple to give me 4, yuan as the total travel expenses first, and then the other couple will not have to pay any fees during the whole trip. I will support them and they will just play.

We played for three days at that time, and I was responsible for paying all the public expenses in the process. Because I also drove my own car, everything was natural. I worked as a driver and a cashier. After the trip, I made an EXCEL sheet to list all the expenses of this trip.

It is listed according to the above five expenses, and all the screenshots of each payment are pasted in the table. All the expenses have their origins. Whether it is the estimated cost of the room and scenic spot tickets online or the meal expenses during the trip, screenshots are pasted in the table, because now they are all paid by mobile phone, and both families know the approximate cost.

The final total cost is 7,8 yuan. I sent the completed form to the other party and returned 1 yuan to the other party. Even if the cost of go on road trip is clear this time, several principles must be adhered to in the whole process:

1. Everything should be discussed.

because this is a trip for two families, not a family, everything needs to be discussed, especially when spending money, such as booking a hotel, asking for the other party's opinion on what level of hotel to book, three-star or four-star, or booking an economical hotel chain. Both parties will discuss it, then pay for the transaction, and then send the payment screenshot to the other party.

For example, if you need to buy any tourist projects or things for * * *, you should ask the other party's advice before buying them, which will help the relationship between the two sides to be better. At that time, when we were tired when going down Lushan Mountain, we discussed taking the cableway down the mountain, and both parties agreed, which had a good effect.

2. Be transparent in everything.

because I'm a cashier, I pay all the expenses, whether it's eating or shopping. When I pay, I try my best to let them know how much I paid, and sometimes I send screenshots to the other party's mobile phone, whether he looks at it or not, so that both parties can know how much we ate for a meal or how much we spent for a tour.

3. Be sure to record all expenses in form and send them to the other party.

This is very important. No matter what the other party says, I'll show him this expense breakdown anyway. Some people may say that they trust you and don't need to look at it, but having said that, things have to be done. If you want to be absolutely fair and just, you have to do it. It's his business to look at it or not, and all the details should have screenshots of mobile phone payment and payment time for easy checking.

whether I go out with relatives or friends, I always do this. No matter whether others care about it or not, these things must be done, so that people can't find fault, and at the same time, they can show fairness and justice. More importantly, they can maintain the relationship between the two sides. Don't let people think that you have taken advantage of him, so that friends or relatives have nothing to do.
