CARGURU is a car sharing service. The price for use includes absolutely all costs, including fuel, parking charge and insurance. All operations, including registration, opening and closing of the car are made via our mobile application. What makes CARGURU different from a usual car rental Firs of all, absolutely all costs associated with the use of the car are already included in the tariff. The customer pays only for the time when he used the car. there are no hidden costs, deposits and over-payments! Secondly, all operations, including registration, opening and closing of the car are made via our mobile application. The user does not have to go to the company’s office to sign a contract, take the car keys and return them later at an agreed place. Our clients can take the vehicle exactly in the time when they actually need to and use it as long as they want to, and leave it wherever it is convenient for them. And finally, our clients can rent a car for a short period of time — even for 5 minutes! After all, if a client needs a car only for a short period, then why would he overpay for the time when he is not using it? Eventually, CARGURU is something more than just car rental. This is a fundamentally new perspective on mobility and an alternative to private transport.

TripTotal keeps track of who paid what on a trip and works out who owes whom, so nobody has to do the maths at the end. Add an expense in seconds. Type "pizza" or "taxi" and TripTotal picks the category for you, in English or Latvian, learning from what you entered before. Pay in any currency: the rate is filled in from the European Central Bank, or type your own. Split it your way. Equal shares, by shares, by percent, by exact amounts, or keep the cost to yourself. Every split is exact to the cent. See where the money went. Each trip shows its total, spending by category and by day, and every member's balance. Settle up with the fewest possible payments, and record the payments as you make them. Invite people with a code or a QR code. Members don't need an account to be part of a trip; anyone who joins can add and edit expenses. Works offline. Everything you enter is saved on your phone first and syncs when you're back online, so a mountain hut or a plane is no problem. Remember where. Turn on location and each new expense keeps the place you entered it at, so the trip has a map of where the money went, in the order you spent it. Off by default, never used for anything else. Look back on the year. See what you spent across all your trips, by month and by category, converted to your home currency, with every trip on a map. Made for phones and foldables, with a light and a dark theme. No ads, no tracking, no data sold. Your trips are shared only with the people in them. Free for two new trips a year. Joining a trip is always free. TripTotal Pro, a yearly subscription, removes the limit. TripTotal Pro is an auto-renewing subscription of one year, at the price shown on this page and in the app. It renews unless renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and it is managed in Apple Account settings.
