Enabling Commute Mileage in MileIQ Teams Dashboard
The Commute Mileage Feature (Pro Plans Only)
You asked, and we listened! Introducing our newest feature for Pro teams: Commute Mileage. Admins can now set a team-wide policy for excluding commute mileage from their drivers' business drives, ensuring accurate and compliant reimbursements. Additionally, each driver on your team can have an individual commute rate, providing greater flexibility and accuracy.
How to Enable Commute Mileage in the Teams Dashboard
Follow these steps to enable and configure the Commute Mileage feature in MileIQ:
Step 1: Access the Teams Dashboard
- Log in to your MileIQ Teams Dashboard at MileIQ.com.
- Navigate to the Settings tab.
Step 2: Enable Commute Mileage
- Locate the Commute Mileage feature in the settings menu.
- Toggle the switch to Enable Commute Mileage.
Step 3: Configure Team-wide or Individual Commute Mileage Settings
- Set a company-wide policy for commute mileage deductions directly from the Settings tab after enabling Commute Mileage.
- Customize individual commute rates for each driver from the Users tab to ensure accurate mileage tracking.
How the Commute Mileage Feature Works
Once enabled, the Commute Mileage feature will automatically deduct commute miles when a drive is classified as ‘Business + Commute’. The deducted mileage is based on the individual commute rate assigned to the driver.
Please Note: The commute mileage will only apply to drives that occurred AFTER the commute policy was added. Any drives that took place prior to the commute policy being implemented won't have the mileage removed, even if classified correctly.

Drivers need to classify their drives correctly for the commute mileage deduction to apply. Here’s how:
Option 1: Using the Mobile App
