How much should I pay for a carshare?

I need to travel from Darlington (near Middlesbrough/Sunderland/Newcastle) to Bracknell (near to Reading/Slough). This is 260 miles according to Google Maps.
The lift is through a carshare/liftshare website so it isn't someone I know and is a one-off lift rather than a regular occurrence.
The car is a HONDA CIVIC 2013
How much do you think would be fair for both parties in terms of price?

Take whatever the HMRC mileage rate is, multiply it by 260, and then halve it.0

Who's driving? Whoever that is will be getting the harder end of the stick, so I think 60/400

The owner of course is going there anyway, a contribution is a bonus :-)

OP says it's through a website. I'd want to check the Ts&Cs to find out what insurance was in place. If it's a genuine business then they should have it sorted. If not then I'd take a train. 😁0 -
Ok based on the replies, I was going to offer £35. Does that seem reasonable do you think?

At work we’d get back 40p a mile for taking folk out. I’m guessing 260 Miles is one way, so 520 Miles x 20p a mile so I think £104 is fair to be honest.:T:T :beer: :beer::beer::beer: to the lil one

The carshare websites usually tell you how much is reasonable0

My car insurance policy allows payment of reasonable costs for ride sharing without it being classed as "hire or reward".You need to be correctly insured to drive for hire or reward...Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230 -
My best guest is fuel only will cost 15p per miles. That is excluding tear and wear of the car...0
