A good mileage app records drives without you remembering to, lets you mark them business or personal in a tap, and produces a log HMRC will accept at the current 55p rate. Here is what each popular app is genuinely best at, then a note on Odomint, the app we build. Checked on 14 October 2026.

We compared the mileage apps UK drivers most often weigh up, using each company’s own UK pricing and help pages, checked on 14 October 2026. Prices change, so check before you subscribe.
We build Odomint, so it has its own labelled card rather than a ranked place among the others. The “best for” notes are there to help you pick the right app, including when that is not ours.
Automatic detection. If you have to press start, you will forget, and a missed journey is money you do not claim.
The right rates. From 6 April 2026 HMRC’s approved rate is 55p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year and 25p after.
A proper log. Date, start and end, purpose and miles for each business journey, exportable for your accountant or Self Assessment.
Where your data lives. A record of everywhere you drive is sensitive. Read where each app keeps it.
Mileage only, light use: a free plan from a dedicated tracker. A small team: a tracker built for teams. One driver who wants the claim and the rest of the car in one place: Odomint.
Whichever you pick, start today. Journeys you did not record are hard to prove later, and HMRC can ask for the records behind a claim.
If your employer pays you less than 55p a mile, you can usually claim tax relief on the difference. A complete log is what makes that claim simple.
Of the apps here, MileIQ has the bigger free plan, 40 drives a month, and Driversnote is free for up to 15 trips. Check the limit against how often you drive for work.
55p a mile for the first 10,000 business miles in the tax year and 25p after, from 6 April 2026. It was 45p before that.
Yes, as long as the record shows the date, the journey, its business purpose and the miles. An app makes that easier to keep complete.
Free to download. Premium starts with a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel any time in your Apple ID settings.
