Cardata is an IRS-compliant, automatic trip-capturing app that reimburses drivers fairly and accurately.
Save time:
Dealing with mileage reimbursements is the last thing you want to do at the end of your workday. Imagine a world where you don’t have to waste precious time filling out a logbook or worrying if your phone is capturing your trips. Cardata Mobile makes this possible.
Each year, Cardata Mobile saves drivers weeks worth of time. Once you set a trip capture schedule, the app will reliably and accurately capture your trips automatically. Plus, we know how important your privacy is, so we’ll never capture trips taken outside your schedule. You can also temporarily disable trip capturing right from your Dashboard.
- Set a custom capture schedule.
- Turn trip capture on and off with a single tap.
- Quickly start or stop trips.
- Check your trip capture status.
- Change your trip capture schedule anytime.
Manage & edit trips:
No more sitting down at the computer to manage your trips. With Cardata Mobile, you can make any necessary changes like edit, add, and delete trips, right in the app.
- Delete trips.
- Change a trip’s classification.
- Add a missed trip.
- Update a trip’s mileage.
A comprehensive dashboard:
You can accomplish most important tasks from the Driver Dashboard. In just seconds, you can stop or start trip capturing, manually start a trip, check today’s trip capture schedule, and review a summary of your mileage so far this month.
- View your trip capture status and trip capture schedule.
- Review unclassified trips.
- Check out your daily or monthly mileage summary.
Transparent reimbursements:

We’ve also built an extensive help center, where you can find detailed information on many topics, including helpful videos. No matter what you need, we’ve got your back, always.

Take control of your privacy:
Any trips you classify as personal, or simply left as unclassified, will not be accessible to employers. Taking a quick coffee break during a work day? Simply stop capturing trips from the dashboard and resume it when you’re ready. Rest assured, not an inch of personal driving will be viewable to employers.
- Deleted, personal, and unclassified trips are hidden from employers and Cardata.
- Any trip taken outside your trip capture schedule will be hidden.
Review past trips:
You’ll have access to every trip you’ve taken in the last 12 months. Review monthly or daily trip summaries with details on total mileage, stops, etc. An intuitive trip filter feature allows you to filter trips by date and/or classification.
- View daily and monthly trip summaries.
- Filter trips by classification and/or date.
Region-sensitive reimbursements:
Different regions have different gas prices, maintenance fees, insurance policies, etc. Your reimbursements reflect the cost of driving in your region, to guarantee that you’ll never lose money for simply doing your job.
- Fair, accurate reimbursements curated to where you live.
I find this app is easy and works in the background while I do my job. If I forget to mark a day as a business trip or a personal trip, I can always do that before the end of the month and I will get the credit I deserve for the business miles. It also allows me to go back and change a trip if I’ve marked it by mistake. Claiming the stipend for my hours is as simple as driving around with it in my car and then marking the rides when I have time.
Anything but CarData

I have used mileage trackers for years and I love them. They are - usually - so much better than a paper log that gets ratty in your car over the month. That being said… A messy paper log with spilled coffee getting crumpled up in my car over the month would be a vast improvement over this app. Let’s go back to an abacus, light years ahead of this app. I had to get a new phone because it killed the battery of my previous phone which worked just fine with 2 other mileage apps. My new phone continues to get so hot while tracking mileage that the electronics in my car’s entertainment system shut down and completely reboot at least once a trip. AND It is tracking you ALL the time, it doesn’t matter if you put the parameters in for your work hours it continues to track you 24 hours a day, seven days a week - running down your battery and killing the life of your phone. My hours are M-F 7-7 and it tracked me on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean one Saturday. I have to take a charger on the boat with me or remove the app from my phone every weekend and remember to put it back on every Monday. And we’re just getting started, because then the software designers made me get on a call and explain to them what I was using my phone for other than mileage tracking, they wanted a list of the apps I use while I’m working because they can’t figure out what’s wrong with it either. I’m not running an OnlyFans site while I’m driving down the interstate trying to do my job. I listen to audiobooks or podcasts, I do email and use the GPS. This app and the employees at CarData are invasive and ask questions that are frankly none of their business -they are an HR lawsuit just waiting to happen. This is the most invasive and useless piece of software I have ever come across. Unfortunately, I am locked in because my company chose to use them. I have heard from multiple people that this will be changing as soon as the contract is up. As I’m sure all companies who have had the unfortunate experience of working with CarData will do as well. Good Luck out there Salespeople!

Doesn’t deserve a single star

My company is going on just about a year since we have switched over to Cardata, and still have the same issues that they claim will be resolved with every update. This app is horribly unreliable. Breaks trips up, randomly doesn’t track, and when it actually does track, the mileage is usually inaccurate and shorts you. I spend more time manually entering trips and modifying mileage to match my odometer than anybody should be for an app that claims will make your life easier. Support just tells you to uninstall and reinstall the app, which sometimes works but most of the time does not. At best is a temporary fix, and sometimes only works for one trip. The grass is definitely not greener — too bad the management that makes the decisions to use this company didn’t do any research before jumping. The app reviews tell the story.

Good value - easy to use
Jay's says
Necessary documents were easy to upload. The mobile app is intuitive and easy to set up and use. Both the fixed and variable reimbursements seem to be fair. I needed customer service once and was impressed with the representative and the chat option. Very good app for tracking mileage and getting paid on time!
