How can I get reimbursed for a mileage expense?

  • Updated

The mileage reimbursements feature is available from the Expense management Add-on.

If you've used your personal vehicle for a work-related trip, you can easily request reimbursement for travel expenses through our mileage reimbursement feature. It’s possible for Owners, Admins, and Advanced Managers with transfer permissions enabled to approve mileage requests.

 

What do I need to submit a mileage request?

  • Starting point and destination of your trip

💡 You can choose your route using Google Maps on our app. It will automatically calculate the distance between the two points, and you can also convert this to a round trip.

  • Vehicle type and fiscal power: You can find your vehicle’s fiscal power in your vehicle registration document.

💡 The expense amount will be entered automatically, based on the pre-defined rates in Qonto’s calculation system, using the locations and vehicle details you provided in the earlier steps. You can’t manually add or edit the amount.

  • Purpose of the trip: Provide more context about your expense for your Admin or Advanced Manager.

  • IBAN: To get your reimbursement, you’ll need to enter the IBAN of your personal bank account. You can add your IBAN directly when making a request, or fill it out in your personal profile.

💡 Your IBAN will be stored in your profile and can be added or updated directly from there.
