Mileage tracking methods

Manual log book

Involves drivers recording their mileage by hand in a physical log book. This method is straightforward but can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

Third-party software

Utilises digital tools to automatically track and record mileage. This method is efficient, accurate, and often includes additional features like data analysis and reporting.

Key features and benefits of using third-party software

Automatic tracking

Mileage apps use GPS technology to automatically log trips without manual input.

Trip categorisation

By allowing users to choose their trip you can distinguish between personal and work trips.

Mileage reports

App’s will generate data which will create detailed reports – these are likely to be customisable.

Expense tracking

If the app integrates with expense tracking you can use this for paying HMRC.

Cloud syncing

Syncs data across multiple decides and backs up information in the cloud.

Integration with other tools

Some apps can be integrated with other tools such as accounting software which facilitates easy sharing.
