Travel allowance - How much

[daisy duck]

Hi.
Been working in Wakefield this week as the new delivery methods not working out very well and they need extra bodies.
I am travelling around 120 miles round trip everyday.
Does anybody know the mileage allowance that I an allowed.
I am using my own car and petrol.
Have been told either 45p or 19p per mile .
Cheers for any answers.

Your not wise.

45 pence per mile (minus your milage to own office & back) for petrol cars.
Was 19 pence per mile for diesel cars, don't know if this has changed.

which means with the price of petrol these days you are probably losing money travelling to this office even after you get the travel payment!

I recently claimed mileage for travelling to Bristol, diesel 1.9, 95 miles and I got about £45 back, so looks like I got about 45p per mile

How many hours are you working at this depot, is it justified traveling that distance? hope your not on a 20 hour contract.

Not much of the working day left after you've taken 120 miles travelling out of it.

If he's claiming travelling/mileage allowance,then i 'think' the travelling is done in his own time.Anyone?

I thought mileage was to pay for fuel/wear on your vehicle and if you are traveling outside duty time you can claim travel time as well (this is payed at a lower rate than normal OT).

Sounds like a green docket and mileage allowance to me.

if they are that keen for you to go, ask to be taken there and brought back, that should shorten your day by a couple of hours
