MileIQ’s Vehicles feature makes it easy to assign your vehicle(s) to a drive, and add the starting annual odometer reading(s) for tax purposes and the starting annual odometer reading for each vehicle you add.
You can set a default vehicle for all drives, or assign a vehicle to a particular drive, just by selecting ‘Add a Vehicle’. You can add a vehicle in the app or web dashboard. Any vehicles that have been added will be included in mileage reports. You can add detailed information for every vehicle, such as: make, model, year, nickname, and annual odometer readings*.
Mobile App
There are two ways to add a vehicle in the MileIQ Mobile App. Either from the Car Icon on the Drive Card or the Vehicles section of the Account Settings menu.
Drive Card
If you've just taken a drive, the easiest way to add a vehicle is from the Vehicle Tab at the bottom of the Drive Card. Simply tap the Vehicle Tab and then 'Add New Vehicle'.
If you haven't added a vehicle yet, you'll immediately see the Vehicle Details screen. If you've already added a vehicle, you'll have the option to select between that vehicle or 'Add New Vehicle'. If you have more than one vehicle listed, you may need to click 'Show More' before you see the 'Add New Vehicle" choice.
From the Vehicle Details menu, there are options to enter the Make, Model, Year, Nickname, and Odometer Readings. To make the current vehicle the primary vehicle for the account, toggle the Primary Vehicle switch. When the switch is green, that vehicle is set to Primary.
Vehicles Menu
Alternatively, to add or manage vehicles in bulk, tap the 'Menu' button at the top left of the app interface. Then, select Account Settings > Vehicles.
If you haven't added a vehicle yet, you can add a new one by tapping '+ Add Vehicle' which will bring up the Vehicle Details form as shown below.
If you already added a vehicle, you'll have the ability to edit the existing vehicle information, add an additional vehicle, delete the existing vehicle, or toggle the Primary vehicle setting.

Additional Information
* It is important to note that while you do want odometer readings at the start of every year for each vehicle, it isn't actually a requirement to have odometer readings for every single drive. Reference IRS documentation here.
