BMW and MINI drivers can benefit from a completely accountable driving record called On-Demand Mileage Reporting System.
It shows exactly where their vehicles is – or was – at any given time, view their historical journeys, check their vehicle location and run reports on their business or private mileage.
The On-Demand Mileage Reporting System from Trafficmaster is a free addition – worth £120 – to the Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking system already available as an accessory option on BMW and MINI models.
The system records all journey start and end locations; the time taken to make the journey; and the exact distance travelled. The driver simply has to classify their journeys as either business or private mileage.
The system can also identify if a driver has a particular pattern. A regular office commute counts as private mileage with the majority of their business journeys made between normal working hours on weekdays rather than weekends. The On-Demand system can be set to pre-categorise journeys as business or private according to the time or day of the journey.
For drivers who claim a mileage allowance from their employer a totally accurate report can be simply produced each month, with any private mileage and journey locations itemised separately. An annual report can be produced for those who claim tax relief on their mileage from the Inland Revenue.
The free Trackstar On-Demand Mileage offer for BMW and MINI buyers is available until 30 September.
