A free app has been launched to help drivers automatically be reimbursed the right amount for mileage expenses.
Autotrip allows drivers to record every business trip they make using their phone鈥檚 GPS and submit accurate mileage claims.
The app, available on iOS and Android, runs automatically in the background and records every single mile driven. Drivers can then classify trips made as business or personal with a single swipe, before submitting the mileage claim, including all of their business trips for the month, to their employer.
The businesses approving claims can quickly review every trip on a map, store all claims online and set their own custom mileage rates if needed.
鈥淥ur customers have long asked for this and we鈥檙e excited to bring to market a reliable mileage tracking app that鈥檚 suitable for any business size, regardless of whether you鈥檙e a self-employed individual or a large fleet with hundreds of drivers,鈥� said Autotrip MD James Finlayson.
Autotrip, based in London, says private trips are visible only to the driver, ensuring their privacy is respected. It also calculates the VAT amount businesses can reclaim on their fuel expenses and comes with an unlimited trip allowance.
Autotrip also offers a GPS mileage tracking device that can be plugged into any vehicle as an alternative to the smartphone鈥檚 GPS. The device can be trialled for 14 days for free and added to the driver account for just 拢5.99 + VAT per month.
Autotrip also offers a team plan for larger fleets, which gives access to in-depth analytics and a centralised account to manage the company鈥檚 business mileage with ease.
