Company BMW and Mini drivers can take advantage of a new telematics offering that allows them to record personal and business mileage after BMW added Trafficmaster’s new on-demand mileage reporting system to cars fitted with the optional Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking system.

The system allows drivers to view their historical journeys, check their vehicle location at any given time and run reports on their business or private mileage

The system records all journey start and end locations, the time taken to make the journey and the exact distance travelled.

All the driver has to do is classify their journeys as either business or private mileage.

For drivers who claim a mileage allowance an accurate report can be produced each month.

An annual report can be produced for those who claim tax relief on their mileage from the Inland Revenue.

Carl Whipp, aftersales marketing manager, BMW Group said “We expect it to be a popular new option with our customers, especially as we are offering 12 months subscription, worth £120, free with all BMW / Mini Trackstar subscriptions taken out between May 1and  September 30.”
