Accurately recording and then claiming for mileage incurred for work can be a headache.  But now there’s a simple and quick solution that allows drivers to download business vs personal miles directly from the car and straight into their expense form.  It’s called ‘Business Miles’ and it’s one of a number of time and money saving features from – Smartdriverclub – the UK’s first connected car service. 

Smartdriverclub gets cars connected via a simple plug-in device behind the steering column.  Costing just £6.60 per month*  Smartdriverclub also supports driver safety along with their employer’s duty of care responsibilities by offering safety features such as crash alerts which can speed up the response of emergency services, breakdown recovery support and warnings of any emerging problems in the car.  All the drivers’ information and services are viewable via a secure online portal or the Smartdriverclub app called Viewpoint.

Business Miles allows drivers to tag journeys as Business or Personal, and even to set business hours into the app to ensure automatic tagging of any miles driven. This results in an accurate and full report of all miles driven for business, which can be loaded directly into an expenses claim. The tracking feature also enables the driver to provide ‘evidence of trip’ to validate any claims.

Penny Searles, CEO of Smartdriverclub says, “We’ve worked out drivers can easily waste *5 days a year working out mileage claims equating to at least **£500 in the cost of their time, and that’s not factoring in loss of money through inaccurate mileage information.

“Business Miles cuts the time it can take to complete expenses forms, improves the accuracy so that drivers don’t miss out and guarantees all information necessary for HMRC is provided in full.   This is the first in a number of enhancements we are making to give drivers much greater control over their car costs and their safety through connectivity.”
