WHAT TO RECORD
What should a mileage log include?
Keep enough detail to understand when, where and why each work drive happened.
When the trip took place.
Where the trip began.
Where the trip ended.
Why the drive was made for work.
Start and end readings when relevant.
Miles or kilometres driven.
Business, personal or another category.
Any extra context worth keeping.
HOW TO USE IT
Keep the log current instead of rebuilding it later.
The spreadsheet is simple. The important part is recording trips while the details are still easy to remember.
Use Excel, CSV or the printable version.
Enter the details as soon as practical.
Catch missing trips before they become difficult to reconstruct.
Manual logging
The spreadsheet is easy. Remembering every trip isn't.
A template works well when every drive is entered consistently. Short work trips and busy days are where manual logs become easy to forget.
Prefer not to fill in every trip by hand?
HonestMile can record your drives automatically and build a trip history while you drive, so you can review and organize it later.
