Abstract:
There are provided systems and methods for automated splitting of costs incurred during a shared vehicle travel. A plurality of users may utilize a vehicle to travel a route, such as a ride sharing program between the plurality of users. The vehicle may incur various costs during travel of the route, such as fuel/electric consumption, tolls, maintenance fees, or other costs. Each of the plurality of users may be checked in to the vehicle, such as by submitting log in credentials to a device associated with the vehicle or connecting their user device to the vehicle's device. Once inside the vehicle, parameters for the user may be determined, including weight of the user and the user's luggage and a start and endpoint of the user's use of the vehicle. The user may then be billed their pro rata share of the total costs for use of the vehicle.
