SARS-Compliant · Travel Logbook

Don't leave rands on the road.

Whether you receive a travel allowance or drive for your own business, DriveLog automatically logs your kilometres, generates a SARS-compliant logbook, and calculates the exact deduction you're owed — so you claim every rand at tax time.

South African taxpayers with a travel allowance can claim business kilometres as a tax deduction under Section 8(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act — but only with a compliant logbook.

No credit card required · Free plan — 20 trips/month · IRP5 codes 3701, 3702 & 3703 · Section 11(a) business deductions

Who it's built for
If you drive for work, you can claim it.
💼
Travel Allowance Holders
Receive a travel allowance from your employer? SARS requires a full logbook to substantiate your claim — or they will disallow it entirely. DriveLog generates an IN 14-compliant PDF with everything SARS needs.
IRP5 Code 3701 / 3702 / 3703
🛠
Self-Employed & Sole Proprietors
Freelancers, consultants, tradespeople, and sole proprietors can deduct actual business kilometres as a business expense. DriveLog keeps the logbook that supports your Section 11(a) deduction and gives your accountant a clean CSV at year-end.
Section 11(a) Deduction
🏷
Commission Earners
Sales representatives, estate agents, and insurance brokers who use their own vehicle for work can claim business km against commission income. A SARS-compliant logbook is your proof — DriveLog keeps it automatically.
IRP5 Code 3702
🚐
Small Business & Fleet
Managing multiple vehicles or drivers? The Fleet plan gives every driver their own logbook, with a central dashboard for the business owner. Per-driver PDF and CSV exports make reporting straightforward.

🏛

Calculates both SARS methods and shows which gives you the bigger deduction — including IN 14 fixed cost, fuel CPM, and maintenance CPM per vehicle value band.
🧠
Smart Auto-fill
Learns your destinations and pre-fills the trip purpose automatically — if you always visit a client at a specific location, DriveLog remembers.
🚘

One-tap monthly summary CSV with business km, distances, and rand values — ready to hand straight to your accountant for a Section 11(a) deduction claim.
Fuel Tracking
Log fill-ups to track your fuel economy, cost-per-km, and monthly fuel spend over time.
🔁
Route Rules
Set a rule for any start → end route and DriveLog auto-classifies and purposes it every time. Created in one tap from the trip edit screen.
🚶
Walking Trip Detection
DriveLog flags trips with a very low average speed as potential walking trips, so you can delete them before they clutter your logbook.
📱
Works Offline
Install DriveLog on your phone like a native app — no app store needed. All tracking works offline and data syncs when you reconnect.
Cloud Backup & Sync
SARS requires you to retain logbook records for 5 years — your data is backed up automatically and syncs across devices so you never lose records.
📹
Dashcam Recording (Pro)
Record video while driving with automatic start/stop tied to your trip. View clips, lock important footage, and flag incidents — all from the app. Android and iOS native app only.
🏃
Activity Recognition
On Android and iOS, DriveLog uses your device's motion sensors to detect when you start driving — no tap needed. Tracking starts and stops automatically based on your activity.
🤖
AI SARS Advisor (Pro)
Ask questions about your SARS travel deduction, IN 14 rules, or deemed cost calculations. The built-in AI advisor gives instant, context-aware answers based on your actual logbook data.

SARS has strict rules. DriveLog meets every one of them.

Travel allowance holders (IRP5 code 3701, 3702, or 3703) must keep a full logbook or SARS will disallow the entire claim.

DriveLog is built to satisfy every SARS logbook requirement under Section 8(1)(b), Section 11(a), and Interpretation Note 14.

Your SARS logbook won't keep itself.

Every business kilometre you drive without a logbook is a rand you can't claim — whether you're on a travel allowance, running your own business, or earning on commission. DriveLog takes two minutes to set up and tracks your trips automatically — start today, claim at tax time.
