Split My Fare is a British website that provides affordable train tickets through split ticketing.[1][2][3]
History[edit]
Split My Fare was founded in 2012 by Tobias Biberbach and Pete Walls to offer potential cost-saving options for UK rail fares.[4]
In December 2022, Split My Fare launched a mobile app for iOS and Android.[5]
Platform[edit]
Split My Fare implements a fee model where charges apply exclusively when users achieve a saving through split ticketing; no fees are levied otherwise.[6] In instances of savings, the fee constitutes 15% of the total saved amount.[7] Refunds may be available directly from the operator for delays over 15 minutes through Delay Repay.[8] For potential compensation, users are advised to file claims within 28 days of travel. If users have collected tickets, it is necessary to keep them to claim compensation.[9]
