what tabs are
the awkward part of sharing a car isn't the money, it's asking for it.
putting a price on a seat doesn't work between friends. it turns you into a driver-for-hire and them into customers, and suddenly a lift to work feels like a service.
and asking for twenty cents as they get out is worse. it's like ringing your mates from the supermarket so they can send you ten cents for the ice: nobody does that, not because the money doesn't matter, but because asking every time costs more than the ice.
tabs are that, solved. you drive, naiss notes what the trip actually cost, and there it sits. no fare, no working it out, no asking. whenever it makes sense, or whenever you feel like it, you settle up.
- there's no per-seat price. naiss works out what the trip cost and splits it between whoever was in the car.
- nothing to ask for in the moment. the tab just sits there and gets settled when you want.
- naiss never touches that money. you pay each other, however suits you.
common questions
how much do i charge my friends?
you don't charge them anything. naiss notes what the trip cost and splits it between the people who were in the car. you never have to price anything or say a number out loud.
do i have to settle every trip?
no, and that's the point. normally it builds up and you settle when it suits you, like a tricount.
what if i don't want to be paid back?
you can forgive the tab whenever you like. it's recorded as forgiven and stops counting as debt.
