How to bring your trips and expenses across

Common questions

Is there a free alternative to Driversnote in the UK?

Yes. Kev’s free plan logs as many journeys as you make at HMRC rates and gives you a mileage report, with no trip limit. It isn’t automatic: you tap start and stop.

Does Kev track mileage automatically like Driversnote?

No. Kev logs a journey when you tap start and stop, or when you type in two postcodes. That means it only uses your location at those two moments.

Can I move my Driversnote trips into Kev?

Not yet. Keep your Driversnote reports for HMRC and start logging in Kev from today. You can add missed journeys by hand with two postcodes.
