Why drive time, not distance?
The midpoint of a straight line isn't fair if one of you has a motorway and the other has country roads. FlockInn splits the actual driving time, so neither person is stuck behind the wheel longer than the other — then it searches only the area you can both reach and hands you real stays with prefilled booking links.
