How do I claim mileage with a route?

Type where you drove from and to, and SaveTrees works out the miles and the amount for you.

For workers · Updated 17 October 2026

No need to look up the distance. Pick where you set off from and where you went, and SaveTrees works out the miles by road, shows the journey on a map and adds up what you’re owed.

Clicking Add a route, choosing Bristol Temple Meads as From and Royal United Hospital, Bath as To, the route appearing on a map at 14.2 miles and £6.39, switching on return trip for 28.4 miles and £12.78, and adding it to the day.

Good to know

The amount uses your organisation’s rate per mile, shown at the top of the window.
Places you use often appear under Locations, so next time you can pick them with one tap.
To change a journey, click it, then change just the end you need to.
You can add more than one journey on the same day if your organisation allows it. The box shows how many you’ve used, like 1 of 2 used.
