History

Split My Fare was founded by Tobias Biberbach and Pete Walls in 2012 to provide 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

Split My Fare only charges a fee when a user finds a split ticket saving; they do not charge a fee otherwise.[6] When a user does make a saving, the fee is 15 percent of the total saving.[7] Split ticketing on the platform results in an average saving of 26 percent, and users find savings on 60 percent of bookings.[8]

For potential compensation, users should file claims within 28 days of travel; when 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]

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]
