Delivery Driver Mileage Tracker - One App, Every UK Platform
UK delivery drivers cover serious mileage - and almost all of it is claimable as a Self Assessment expense. MileClear tracks every business mile automatically across every UK gig platform, applies the HMRC 45p / 25p / 24p rates in real time, and exports a Self Assessment-ready PDF when tax season comes. Free to download - Pro features unlock for £4.99 per month.
Why Every UK Delivery Driver Needs to Track Mileage
Whether you drive for Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon Flex, DPD, Evri, Stuart, Gophr or any combination, you are self-employed in HMRC's view. That means you file a Self Assessment tax return every January, and you are responsible for recording your own business expenses.
Mileage is the single biggest deduction available to you. HMRC's Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) lets you claim 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles in a tax year, and 25p per mile after that. Motorbikes claim 24p flat. Bicycles claim 20p flat. None of the gig platforms calculate or produce this for you.
For a full-time UK delivery driver doing 25,000 business miles a year, that is £8,250 off your taxable profit. At basic rate (20%) that is £1,650 back. At higher rate (40%) it is £3,300. Most drivers under-claim every year because their records do not survive HMRC's “contemporaneous record” test - or because they do not have records at all.
MileClear records every drive automatically using GPS in the background. Every time you accept a Deliveroo order, complete an Amazon Flex block, or drop off an Evri parcel, the miles are captured, tagged to the platform, and ready for your tax return.

Stacking Platforms? MileClear Has You Covered
Most full-time UK delivery drivers run more than one app. A Deliveroo lunch shift, an Amazon Flex afternoon block, a Just Eat evening run. From HMRC's perspective every business mile is the same - they all count toward your AMAP deduction. But your accountant (and you) want to know which platform is actually paying best per mile.
MileClear tags every trip with the platform you were working for at the time. Switch apps mid-day and the next trip auto-tags to the new platform. The Business Insights screen then shows you earnings per mile and earnings per hour by platform from your own real numbers - not industry averages. Over a few weeks you will see exactly which apps are worth your fuel.
The Self Assessment export rolls everything into one mileage figure for the SA103 form, with a per-platform breakdown attached as supporting detail if HMRC ever ask.
How MileClear Works for Delivery Drivers
Automatic GPS Tracking
Background location detection starts a trip when you start driving and ends it when you stop. No taps, no setup per shift. Works whether you remember to open the app or not.
Platform Tagging
Tag each shift with the app you were working for. Stacking platforms in one day? Each trip auto-tags from your last selection so multi-platform days take seconds to record.
HMRC AMAP Calculation
45p / 25p / 24p rates applied automatically based on your vehicle type, with the 10,000-mile threshold built in. The number on screen is the number for your Self Assessment.
Saved Locations + Geofences
Mark your home, depot, regular pickup zones. MileClear stops auto-detecting trips when you are parked at a saved location, killing the false positives most trackers spam you with.
Live UK Fuel Prices
8,300+ stations from the government-mandated price database. Find cheaper fuel before your shift and save 5p per litre across a working week - free, even on the basic tier.
Self Assessment Exports
Pro tier exports a CSV and PDF mileage log per tax year, plus the HMRC attestation cover sheet that satisfies the contemporaneous-record requirement. Drop it straight onto your SA103.
Typical Tax Savings for UK Delivery Drivers
Example: 25,000 Business Miles Per Year (Full-Time)
Even a part-time delivery driver doing 12,000 business miles per year has a deduction of £4,900 - worth £980 in tax at the basic rate or £1,960 at the higher rate. The question is not whether the deduction is worth claiming. It is whether you have the records to claim it. MileClear builds those records automatically, every time you drive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do UK delivery drivers need to track mileage for tax?
Yes. UK delivery drivers working through any gig platform are self-employed and file Self Assessment. HMRC's AMAP relief (45p/25p) is the single largest deduction available - but you need a contemporaneous mileage log to claim it.
Can one mileage tracker handle multiple delivery platforms?
Yes. MileClear tags every trip with the platform you were working for. Stack a Deliveroo lunch, an Amazon Flex block and a Just Eat evening shift in the same day - each segment is tracked separately and shown by platform in your Self Assessment export.
Does Uber Eats / Deliveroo / Just Eat / Amazon Flex track mileage for tax?
No. None of the major UK delivery platforms produce a contemporaneous HMRC-acceptable mileage log. They record orders and earnings, not actual miles in tax-friendly format. That gap is yours to fill.
What about the commute from home to my first pickup?
Generally HMRC treats home-to-first-pickup as ordinary commuting and not claimable. Once you are working on the platform's behalf, the miles are business. MileClear lets you mark commute segments as personal so your records reflect what is actually deductible.
How much can a delivery driver save?
A driver covering 25,000 business miles per year can claim £8,250 in HMRC mileage relief - £1,650 back at basic rate, £3,300 at higher rate. Even a part-time driver at 12,000 miles claims £4,900.
What format does the export use?
Pro tier produces a CSV and PDF mileage log per tax year (6 April to 5 April), with the HMRC attestation cover sheet. Drop it straight onto your SA103 or hand it to your accountant.
