Question
Hello.
A teacher who teaches in another city told two of her students who live in her city that they could join her for the ride in her car. After two days it turned out that she had meant a paid ride. The students do not want to pay and prefer to travel by bus. Do they have to pay for the two days when they did not realize that it was a paid ride?
Answer
Hello.
They must pay.
Source
See Rema, Choshen Mishpat 246:17: One who says to his fellow, “Eat with me,” must pay him, and we do not say that he is giving him a gift, and especially since traveling by car is something for which people normally pay.
