Mileage log apps or Fuel card options
Discussion
I am looking into options to improve the way I log business miles and manage VAT reclaims.
Initially I was looking into fuel cards, but since it will only ever be company directors buying fuel and they have debit/credit cards there might not be a need.
We have 3 vehicles, 2 are commercial purely for business miles
Occasionally a personal vehicle is used and mileage is reclaimed at the usual rates.
Can anyone recommend an app that would work across multiple vehicles? Or would a fuel card be the easier option?
Yearly spend is not huge, on the fringe of the £300 p/m that many require.

Looking for a cheaper option. I always have my phone on me, so seems a waste to spend more money when I have that functionality.
Tried that. Always forget. My device beeps at me to remind me I need to do something. Easily paid for itself in recording journeys that I would otherwise have forget.Personally,nwe have 2 vehicles which both get used for business and pleasure use doing around 30k p/a.
I looked at apps but couldnt find a suitable one so now have a task each day on my phone to make a note of miles in the phones notes app. Once a week I have an admin day and I look at my calendar for where I travelled to and the notes for the mileage to complete a basic excel spreadsheet.
My car has a trip computer which can be set to automatically reset overnight which helps.
Takes 30 seconds a day and a few minutes to do the spreadsheet.
Not as nice as an app but does the job for me
