Automatic mileage logbook for business and personal trips
DriveNoter is Ewooks’ automatic mileage logbook app for individuals, employees, entrepreneurs and companies. It tracks trips automatically, separates business and personal driving, and helps create reports for accounting and tax-related mileage reporting without unnecessary manual work.

If you drive regularly for work, an automatic mileage logbook can save time almost every week. At the same time, reporting becomes more accurate and more consistent than with paper logs or spreadsheets.
Who is a mileage logbook for?
- Entrepreneurs – for separating business and personal trips, allocating costs and keeping reporting organized
- Employees and company car users – for reliable trip tracking and documenting the purpose of each drive
- Sales, consulting and field work – for keeping customer visits, work sites and projects better organized
- Small and growing teams – for managing multiple users and vehicles more consistently
What should a good mileage logbook include?
For taxation, reporting and your own trip tracking, a mileage logbook should include at least the following details:
- date and time
- departure point and destination
- purpose of the trip
- distance in kilometers or odometer readings
- driver
- vehicle, if multiple vehicles are used
DriveNoter helps keep this information stored automatically, so maintaining your mileage logbook does not depend on memory or manual notes.

Mileage logbook app or Excel, PDF or a ready-made template?
Many users still look for an Excel mileage log template, a PDF mileage log form, or a printable trip log model. These can be enough to get started, but in practice they require continuous manual entry and trips are easily forgotten. A mileage logbook app makes the same job much easier because trips are recorded automatically and reports are ready without separate spreadsheet work.
If you are looking for a free or printable mileage log template, it may work for occasional use. When trips are recorded regularly, an automatic mileage logbook is usually a more accurate, faster and less error-prone alternative than Excel or paper.
Mileage logbook for tax reporting and accounting
A mileage logbook used for tax-related reporting should contain clear information about trips, their purpose, distances, and the separation of business and personal driving. DriveNoter helps keep this information organized so that reporting for accounting, mileage reimbursements and tax-related use becomes easier and more consistent.
If you are looking for the requirements of a mileage logbook for tax purposes, the most important thing in practice is that the information is sufficiently accurate, up to date and easy to verify. That is why a digital mileage logbook is often the easiest way to handle it properly.
