The short version

  • Start your delivery record before the first relevant drive.
  • Review trip categories while you still remember the route.
  • Export a date range before you need to reconcile old shifts.

What has to be in each log entry?

Each log entry should identify the drive well enough to review it later.

The DoorDash Dasher Guide to Taxes describes mileage estimate emails for US and Canada Dashers who were active during the year, dashed by car, and had on-delivery mileage. It does not specify an acceptance-to-drop-off boundary for the estimate.

  • Date
  • Starting and ending odometer readings or total miles
  • Business purpose
  • Delivery platform

What to check in a DoorDash mileage app

  • Automatic trip capture: tracking keeps running when you switch to your delivery app only with Always location access, so check that setting before the shift. If a drive is missed, add it by hand, because a missed automatic trip is a business mile that never gets recorded.
  • A category on every trip: pick one for each trip so delivery miles stay separate from personal miles. Categories can be edited later if a trip was filed under the wrong one.
  • Time, distance, and gas estimate on one record: each trip shows its duration, miles, and fuel estimate together, so you can check the entry without rebuilding the drive from memory.
  • CSV or PDF export: daily, weekly, and monthly mileage reports export as CSV or PDF. Export is part of No Tipper Pro, so confirm that before you need the file for a record.

Before the shift: make the first record easy

Choose one repeatable starting point for your records. The important part is consistency: begin the trip record at the same stage of your delivery workflow each time.

Confirm location access and your preferred tracking settings before you start driving. If an automatic trip is missed, add it manually while the route is still easy to reconstruct.

During the shift: separate delivery trips from everything else

Keep delivery drives classified as business trips and review unexpected stops or personal detours before they disappear into a long day of driving.

No Tipper records trip time and mileage together, so the shift log preserves more context than a single odometer note.

For scale, the IRS business standard mileage rate was 72.5 cents per mile from January 1 to June 30, 2026, and 76 cents per mile from July 1 to December 31, 2026 (IRS notices IR-2025-128 and IR-2026-29), so every unrecorded business mile has a dollar value.

After the shift: review while the route is recognizable

Scan the day by date, miles, duration, and category. Correct an incomplete or misclassified trip before you move on to the next shift.

When you need an outside copy, export the selected history as CSV or PDF. These are organized records to review or share; they are not a guarantee that a report satisfies a particular tax or platform requirement.

Common questions

How do Dashers track DoorDash mileage?

Start the mileage record before each business drive, record the date, starting and ending odometer readings or miles, and business purpose, then review the log after the shift. No Tipper records trip time and mileage, supports manual corrections, and exports selected records as CSV or PDF through No Tipper Pro.

Can I add a delivery trip manually?

Yes. No Tipper supports manual trip entry when a drive was not captured automatically or needs a correction.

Can I export only part of my mileage history?

You can review and export trip records for the date range you need as CSV or PDF.

No Tipper is an independent utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DoorDash. Platform features and policies can change; check official platform guidance when a question depends on current DoorDash rules.
