A Road Trip with Friends: Choosing the Car and Splitting the Cost

A trip with friends is better when the car is comfortable for everyone and the cost is clear from the start. Here is a simple plan.

Choose the car by group size

• **Two or three people:** the Geely Coolray for fun, or the Suzuki Jimny for the desert.
• **Four people with bags:** the Hyundai Elantra or Ford Taurus.
• **Five to eight:** the Kia Carnival or Chevrolet Tahoe.

Choose by destination

• **Highways and cities:** a mid-size or large sedan.
• **Desert and camping:** a 4x4. Read SUV and 4x4 rental for desert trips.
• **Ideas:** the best road trip destinations and Riyadh to AlUla.

Split the cost fairly

1. Add up the full rental for the period.
2. Add the rough fuel cost for the distance.
3. Divide the total by the number of people before you set off.

Example: a weekly rental plus fuel for four friends, each pays a quarter. Weekly rental costs less than daily for a week-long trip.

Before you set off

• Name everyone who will drive in the contract.
• Agree who drives each stretch, and nobody drives tired.
• Save Sajil's number, 920019913.
