UK gig workers lose thousands in unclaimed mileage every year


Manual logging is broken

Gig economy workers driving for Uber, Deliveroo, Amazon Flex, and others are entitled to claim 45p per mile on the first 10,000 business miles each tax year — then 25p thereafter.

But HMRC requires detailed, accurate mileage records. Manual logging in spreadsheets is tedious, easy to forget mid-shift, and frequently fails scrutiny. Most drivers simply give up and leave hundreds — sometimes thousands — of pounds on the table.

Automatic from the moment you drive

MileClear uses background GPS to detect and log trips automatically as soon as you start moving. No button to press. No app to open mid-journey.

It calculates your HMRC Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) in real time, tracking whether you're in the 45p or 25p tier, and generates fully compliant CSV and PDF exports ready for your tax return — or your accountant.

Built around the real needs of gig drivers
