How to Split Travel Expenses With Friends

To split travel expenses with friends, create a shared group before the trip and log every expense as it happens. At the end, settle the net balance in one payment. Loot tracks everything inside your iMessage group chat.

Common Travel Expenses to Split

Accommodation

Airbnb, hotels, hostels. Split by nights stayed or equally.

Transportation

Rental cars, gas, rideshares, flights booked together.

Food & Drinks

Group meals, groceries for the house, bar tabs.

Activities

Tours, tickets, equipment rentals. Only charge who participated.

The Golden Rule: One Settlement at the End

Don't try to settle after every meal or taxi ride. Track expenses throughout the trip and settle the net balance once when you get home. Loot calculates exactly who owes whom, minimizing the number of payments needed.
