How much petrol money should I offer?

[OohOohOohOohOoooh]

I am going to a gig 20 miles away with a friend. Her sister is going to take us and pick us up at the end of the night so it's 80 miles driving for her. How much should I offer?
TIA

Find out how much a taxi would cost there and back and offer half that?

Ask your friend how much her sister would like?

I should add we would be getting the bus if she couldn't take us not a taxi.

Depending on car/fuel etc petrol would be around £20 for 80 miles so I’d half that with your friend so £10 then add maybe another 10, 15 on top

Your share of the fuel is about £7, or you could use the HMRC rate and it’s £18. You could add something for her time, maybe £15. I think you and friend should give her £30 each.

I’d give £20 each and a bottle of wine or chocolates to say thank you

If you can afford it I would give £20. Definitely covers the cost of the petrol and while you don’t need to pay for her time it’s nice not to be stingy when she’s doing you a favour.

I'd say £10 and token gift (box of chocolate/bottle of wine).

It's probably about £15 to £20 in petrol.

All those saying give her something for her time do you realise it is actually illegal to make a profit by offering lifts? People do it all the time but you can get a fine, penalty points or vehicle seizure if caught and it would also invalidate your insurance.

Get a grip fgs.

Yes, but of course you wouldn’t actually tell anyone in those circumstances! Bit sketchy if it was just strangers but anyone would accept that someone giving their sister a lift somewhere is quite a normal activity.

I think £10 -15 is fine.

£20

£20 and a bunch of tulips 🌷

I'd say 20 each. 15 at a push.

You might be getting the bus otherwise, but this will be far easier, nicer and more convenient for you but is a ball ache for her.

If you're not comfortable with a sensible level of reimbursement then tell them you'll get the bus separately.

£20

£20.

HMRC approved rate is 45p per mile, which covers petrol and other wear and tear on the car etc. That's £36 for 80 miles, so half of that would be £18. I would round it up to £20.

I don't think you need to offer her anything for her time. She isn't a taxi driver and I assume that she has volunteered to drop you. A small token of appreciation might be nice but I doubt it would be expected.

Thanks all. I was thinking of offering £20 and am happy that seems to be the consensus. Then I'm going to log it with 101 just to see what happens 😂

Just wanted to say I absolutely love your username.
Behold!
