Mileage tracking FAQ’s

Why is Capture Expense the best way to track business mileage?

Our business mileage tracker makes mileage tracking super easy by using Google’s technology. It connects directly with Google Maps to calculate the exact distance between where a journey starts and ends. This means users don’t have to do any tricky calculations or guess how far they’ve travelled.

Because it’s powered by Google, you can trust the results to be accurate and reliable every time. This tech takes the stress out of tracking mileage, making it faster and simpler to create expense claims.

Can I deduct commute distance from mileage claims?

Yes! It’s standard practice not to claim back expenses for the commute between home and office, so Capture Expense can remove commute distance from any mileage claims created.

Users can set up default journey locations—in this case, home and office—when they first register for Capture Expense, which will automatically calculate commute distance that can be deducted from mileage claims.

Does the business mileage tracker handle both private and company vehicles?

Yes, it does! The system is designed to work with both types of vehicles. If your employees use their own cars for work, they can log their journeys, and the system will calculate what they’re owed based on your company’s rates. For company-owned vehicles, it can track mileage and manage rates too, including odometer readings for personal mileage made in a company car so they can’t claim money back on private miles.

Does it support tracking for cumulative mileage?

It certainly does. Cumulative mileage tracking means the system keeps track of how far someone has travelled over a certain period—like a year. If they hit a mileage limit, it can automatically apply a different rate for the extra miles. This is perfect for staying compliant with government rules and ensuring everyone gets reimbursed correctly, no matter how much they drive.

That’s why Capture Expense is the best way to track business mileage; a perfect example of this is in Ireland, with Revenue’s cumulative mileage bands. You can read more about how we support Ireland over on our Ireland Expense Management page.

Can vehicles and mileage rates be customised?

Definitely! While it comes with built-in approved fuel rates ready for you to use, every business is unique, so our system lets you customise vehicle records and mileage rates. You can set rates based on things like the type of fuel a vehicle uses, its engine size, or specific company policies. You can even add vehicles to the system and assign them to specific employees or teams, making it super easy to keep track.

That means you can customise your app for business mileage tracking to work in any country around the world, so mileage is automatically calculated based on the country of travel.
