Separate commuting, work travel, family vehicles and reimbursable mileage.
Illustrative dataUpdated September 1, 2026
Short answer
Ordinary commuting and travel required during work are not the same. The agreement should define the regular workplace, paid travel time, mileage method, parking, insurance and vehicle responsibilities.
When a personal vehicle is used
Confirm business-use insurance, licence requirements, permitted passengers, reimbursement records and what happens after an incident.
Travel with the family
Agree on hours, overnight responsibilities, meals, accommodation, rest time and expenses before the trip.
