Split My Fare is a website based in the UK that specializes in providing 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 only charges a fee when a user finds a split ticket saving, they do not charge a fee otherwise. [6] If a user does make a saving, the fee is 15% of the total saving.[7] Split ticketing on the platform results in an average saving of 26%, and users find savings on 60% of bookings.[8]
For potential compensation, users are advised to file claims within 28 days of travel. If users have collected tickets, they need to keep them to claim compensation.[9]
Refunds may be available directly from the operator for delays over 15 minutes through Delay Repay.[10]
In addition, Split My Fare provides other recommendations, including booking in advance, using railcards, and travelling at off-peak times, all of which can lead to cost savings.[11]
