Using own car for office trips, how much to charge for mileage?

**leolop** · January 27th, 2008 11:11 PM

guys, doing a survey. my job occasionally requires me to go out the office. we're allowed to use taxis within metro manila and there's a list of areas and the corresponding budgets for transport allowance.

occasionally, we have to go out of town. the current practice is to hire a car and driver, and the cost is outrageous (to me). being used to being a motorist even on provincial roads, i want to suggest that we be allowed to use our vehicles for these out of town trips and we be allowed to charge mileage, but don't know how much to suggest.

does your company have a similar policy? i heard P12 / km was an indicative rate. thanks in advance!

our company reimburses at US$0.30/km. so that P12/km is just about the same at the current exchange rate of P40.70/1USD (P12.21/km).

PHP 10.4/km. quite low that's why as much as possible i don't use my personal car for business trips.

I charge P12.00 per km when I use my car for out of town trip per company policy.

Magandang business ata yan ah... Charge per mileage. Hehehe...

12.00/km sounds reasonable.. so a full tank of say 300 to 350kms would be about 3,600 to 4,200.

tama lang din iyon kasi factor in mo din iyong wear and tear ng sasakyan. di lang naman gasolina ang nauubos doon.

Our company uses this formula:

Cost of premium gasoline / 10 kilometers x no. of kilometers x 140% (for the depreciation).

our company before would only reimburse us up to the amount equivalent to what a taxi would charge...

way back in 2004, i charge P10/km when i use my own car for business purposes. I guess now 12/km would sound reasonable enough, but how would the company compensate you for driving versus having your own driver sa trips mo?
