Keep a complete mileage log
A structured mileage log makes reimbursement claims and business travel records easier to review, export and retain.
Essential trip information
Record the date, start, destination, distance and business reason for every relevant journey.
Keep related travel receipts
Store toll, parking and other supporting costs separately and link them to the correct trip.
Build a consistent audit trail
Regular entry is more reliable than reconstructing routes from memory weeks or months later.
