How we work it out
The maths is simple, so you can check it yourself.
Fuel needed
Distance × fuel use ÷ 100. A 360 km trip in a car that uses 8 litres per 100 km needs about 28.8 litres.
Trip cost
Fuel needed × price per litre, plus any other costs you add. Cost per person is the total divided by the number of people in the car.

Ways to spend less
Keep your tyres at the right pressure, drive at a steady speed, remove heavy items you don’t need and, best of all, share the ride.
Common questions
How accurate is this calculator?
It gives a good estimate. Real fuel use changes with speed, load, wind, road type and how you drive. For the closest result, enter your own car’s fuel use and today’s price at your pump.
Why is the fuel price different at my petrol station?
Namibia’s pump prices are regulated and change from time to time. Inland towns pay a little more than the Walvis Bay price we start with. Type the price you see at your pump to be exact.
Do the distances count the way back?
No, they are one way. Choose “Return” to double the distance.
I’m a driver. How do I use this to set a price per seat?
Enter your trip and set “People sharing” to the number of people in the car, including you. The result shows what each person would pay to cover fuel. Remember that your car’s wear and tyres cost money too.
Can I split the cost with other travellers?
Yes. That’s what PickUp Namibia is for. Drivers post their trip, passengers book a seat, and everyone shares the cost.
Share the ride, share the cost
Find a lift with a verified driver, or post your trip and let passengers help pay for the fuel.
