Personal Use

Personal Use

Quick definition

Personal use is driving a vehicle for personal reasons, such as commuting or shopping.

Full definition

Personal use includes trips that aren't for business, whether the vehicle belongs to the driver or their employer. Common examples include driving to the grocery store, picking up children from school, and traveling between home and a regular workplace.

A single drive can include both business and personal mileage. For example, if an employee takes a detour to visit a friend on the way to a client meeting, those extra miles are personal.

Drivers should keep these miles separate in their mileage logs to ensure accurate business records and reimbursements.
