Can I print my Uber trip history instead of a logbook?

Logbook vs Bank Uber Lines — Why the Statement Loses

The bank proves you paid. The book proves the trip was business.27 September 2026 All articles

What a logbook is

Date, start and end points, business purpose, kilometres, and opening/closing odometer for the year. SARS publishes logbook formats. Commuting from home to a fixed office is not business travel.

What an Uber line is

A debit to Uber or Bolt proves a passenger trip was bought, or that a driver received a payout. It does not show odometer, business purpose, or the split of a privately owned car. Passenger-side Ubers to the office are usually private commuting.

Drivers versus passengers

e-Hailing drivers use the logbook (and app history as a helper) against a vehicle trade. Employees with a travel allowance use the logbook against that allowance. A salaried person with no allowance and no commission trade does not unlock a car claim by exporting a CSV of rides.

Taxzi

We can store trips you typed and flag fuel or ride-hailing lines. We do not replace the statutory book. Confirm prescribed rates on sars.gov.za.
