Help & FAQ
Everything you need to get the most out of Mileage Tracker — in plain English. The app is in development, so the full step-by-step guide (with screenshots) grows as we build; the answers below are ready now.
Getting started
- Set up in a minute
Tell us how you claim, add your car, pick your country. That's it. - Just drive
It logs your drives in the background and shows them on your home screen. - Mark business or personal
One tap per drive. Set “always business here” for a place and we'll do it for you. - Check any drive
See the route on a map, the distance, and how your claim is worked out — edit, split or merge if you need to. - Export when you need it
For your tax return, your employer, or your own records — as a PDF, Excel or CSV. - Your data stays yours
On your phone, no account — and you can export everything any time.
The full illustrated, step-by-step guide lands with the app at launch.
Frequently asked questions
Is my data private?
Yes — your trips and location stay on your phone. There's no account, and we never receive them or sell them. A built-in privacy dashboard shows you exactly what's stored.
How accurate is it?
It tracks your drive in the background and shows you the route on a map so you can check it against reality. We'll publish a fuller accuracy picture once we've measured it across more real drives — we won't quote a number we haven't proven.
Does it count my walk to the door?
No. We detect when you've left the car, so only the miles you actually drove go on your claim — nothing inflated that could be challenged.
Is this “Making Tax Digital” (MTD)?
It's MTD-ready — the export drops straight into your MTD software (a CSV import is an accepted digital link). It is not a submission to HMRC; you or your accountant still file.
How do I give it to my accountant or employer?
Export to PDF, Excel or CSV and share, email or print it — formatted for your tax return, an employer expense claim, or a plain record, whichever you pick.
Why pay once instead of a subscription?
No subscription, ever. One payment, yours to keep — including future updates and next year's mileage rates. A subscription tracker can run to £280 or more over three years.
I'm switching from MileIQ or Driversnote — will it feel familiar?
Yes — tap to classify a drive, automatic capture, the monthly summary. The muscle memory carries straight over, minus the subscription and the account.
Will it drain my battery?
It's built to sip battery — GPS sleeps while you're parked and wakes when you drive — and the app shows you exactly how much it used.
Which countries does it support?
The UK at launch, using the official HMRC rate; more countries follow, each with its own official rate (US, Canada, Australia, and across the EU), kept current.
Why don't you use Apple or Google Maps?
Two reasons, both for you. Privacy: your trips are kept on your phone, with no account, and we never upload or sell them. Cost: their mapping services charge per user every month, and at scale we’d have to pass that on — we’d rather keep Mileage Tracker a one-off purchase.
When can I get it?
It's in development for iOS and Android. We'll announce the App Store and Google Play listings on the Mileage Tracker page on launch day.
Still need a hand?
