Tracking vehicle expenses shouldn't be this complicated
Loan payments, fuel, insurance, maintenance, registration — vehicles are one of the biggest recurring expenses for most households. Finding a comfortable way to track it all is the hard part.
Tracking should be quick and painless
Spreadsheet templates work until you're standing at the pump trying to update a Google Sheet. And most apps store data only on your phone — switch devices and your fuel log stays behind. You need something you can open anywhere, on any device, without installing anything.
Most apps assume one driver per vehicle
Families share cars. Businesses have employee drivers. But most vehicle apps assume one user, one phone. When two people drive the same car, someone's expenses don't get logged — or you end up sharing login credentials and hoping for the best.
Or they only solve part of the problem
One app tracks gas mileage. Another handles maintenance reminders. None of them track your tires. And if your vehicle earns money — deliveries, rideshare, rentals — good luck finding one that handles income and expenses in the same place.
CarExpenses is the car expense tracker that brings it all into one app — fuel economy, maintenance reminders, tire management, mileage logs, and more. Track solo for free, or share vehicles with family, co-drivers, or your whole team.
Why CarExpenses instead of the others?
Fuel economy that's actually accurate
Most fuel tracker apps only calculate MPG or L/100km from full-tank fill-ups. Partial fill? Your numbers are off. CarExpenses tracks fuel tank levels on every entry — refuels, expenses, checkpoints — so your fuel economy stats stay reliable even when you don't fill to full.
Multiple drivers, one account
Everyone who drives the car logs to the same account with their own login. You see who entered what, nothing slips through the cracks, and nobody has to share a password. Add family members, team drivers, or give your accountant read-only access.
Tire tracking built in
Summer set, winter set, two worn fronts replaced mid-season — CarExpenses tracks mileage, tread depth, and age for every tire. Swap sets in one step, get warnings when tread is low or tires are aging out, and keep a complete rotation history. No spreadsheet needed.
Works anywhere — no install needed
Open it in your phone's browser, your tablet, or your desktop — your vehicle expense data is always there. No app store downloads, no syncing between devices, no storage eaten up on your phone. A full car maintenance tracker and mileage log, just a bookmark away.
What you can track
From daily fill-ups to seasonal tire swaps — your vehicle expense dashboard brings it all together with maintenance reminders, quick actions, and recent activity across every vehicle.
Fuel Tracking & Economy
Log every fill-up with price, volume, and odometer reading. See your real fuel economy — MPG, L/100km, or cost per mile — and spot trends over time. Handles partial fills without throwing off your numbers.
Mileage & Trip Tracking
Record business and personal trips with start, end, and waypoints along the route. Categorize by purpose — business, medical, charity — and generate a mileage log ready for IRS or CRA tax deductions.
Tire Management & Seasonal Swaps
Track summer and winter tire sets with mileage, tread depth, and age. Swap tires in one step — the app moves the old set to storage, logs the odometer, and records the service. Get alerts before anything wears out.
Shared Access for Families & Teams
Invite anyone who drives your vehicles — family, coworkers, fleet drivers. Everyone logs with their own account, and you control who can edit vs. just view. See who entered what across every vehicle.
Built for how you actually use vehicles
Sharing Vehicles with Others
When more than one person drives the same car, expenses get missed. CarExpenses gives everyone their own login so each driver logs what they spend. You see the complete picture — who filled up, who paid for parking, who took the car in for service.
Managing Multiple Vehicles
Two family cars, a work truck, a motorcycle in the garage — costs add up fast when they're spread across vehicles. Track them all in one account, compare what each one costs you, and spot the one that's quietly draining your budget.
Driving for Work or Income
Whether you're claiming mileage deductions or tracking profit from deliveries and rideshare, you need clean records. Log business trips, link expenses and income to each journey, and generate tax-ready reports for IRS or CRA.
Using CarExpenses solo? It works great for individual drivers too.
