What you can claim per mile for business driving in the United Kingdom, set by HMRC under the Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP).
In force from 1 September 2026.

Different question, different rate. The table above is for using your own vehicle. These are for fuel when you drive a company car, where the car is not yours to claim for — only the fuel you paid for.

Reviewed quarterly by HMRC, so these move more often than the rates above.
10,000 business miles in a year comes to £5,500.00 (10,000 mi at 55p a mile).
Whatever the rate, the claim only stands up if the journeys behind it do. That means the date, where you went, how far, and why it was business. Reclaim records each trip as you drive, prices it at the rate above, and turns the lot into a claim you can send.
Rates change when HMRC changes them. Reclaim picks new rates up without waiting for an app update, and old trips keep the rate that applied on the day they happened.
