Does Grubhub track your mileage? No. Grubhub does not track or report your mileage — their support team confirms they have no access to driver mileage data, and none appears on your 1099. Every business mile you drive for Grubhub is deductible, but only if you record it. That includes miles between orders and repositioning during scheduled blocks, not just the miles on an active delivery. A GPS mileage tracker captures all of it automatically for an IRS-compliant log.

Grubhub Doesn't Track Any of Your Miles

Grubhub confirms they have no mileage data for drivers — not in the app, not on your 1099, nowhere. Every deductible mile you don't track yourself is a tax deduction you'll never claim.

🚫

Zero Mileage Data — Period

Grubhub's own support team states: "It is your responsibility to track and maintain your mileage. The 1099 Team and Driver Support Team do not have access to any mileage information." You get nothing from Grubhub.

⏱️

Contribution Time Adds Hidden Miles

Grubhub drivers spend significant time driving between orders during scheduled blocks — contribution time. These repositioning miles are 100% deductible but easy to forget without automatic tracking.

💸

The Cost of Not Tracking

A driver doing 45 miles/day without tracking loses their entire mileage deduction. At the 2026 rate (72.5¢ Jan–Jun, 76¢ Jul–Dec), that's over $8,000/year — gone forever at tax time because you have no records to give the IRS.

Grubhub Mileage Tracking Questions

Everything Grubhub drivers need to know about tracking miles for taxes.

Does Grubhub track my mileage for taxes?
No. Grubhub does not track, report, or store your mileage. Their own driver support confirms they have zero access to any mileage information. No mileage data appears on your 1099 or anywhere in the driver app. You are entirely responsible for tracking every business mile yourself.
What miles can Grubhub drivers deduct?
Grubhub drivers can deduct all miles driven for business using the IRS standard mileage rate (72.5¢/mile Jan–Jun 2026, 76¢ Jul–Dec). This includes miles driving to the restaurant, miles delivering to the customer, contribution time driving between orders, and miles repositioning to a busier zone. You generally cannot deduct the commute from home to your first pickup, but once your work day begins all business driving qualifies. See our full guide to gig worker tax deductions for details.
What does the IRS require for a Grubhub mileage log?
The IRS requires a mileage log that records the date, starting location, destination, business purpose, and miles driven for every business trip. Critically, records must be made at or near the time of the trip — not reconstructed later from memory. A GPS-based tracker like TrakMiles automatically satisfies all of these requirements in real time. Read our full breakdown of IRS mileage log requirements.
How much can I save by tracking my Grubhub miles?
A Grubhub driver doing 45 miles per day, 5 days a week for 50 weeks drives approximately 11,250 business miles per year. At 72.5¢–76¢/mile that\'s an $8,156+ tax deduction. At a 22% tax bracket that saves nearly $1,800 in federal taxes. Without a mileage tracker, you lose this entire deduction because Grubhub provides no mileage records. Use our free mileage calculator to see your exact number.
Is TrakMiles Pro free for Grubhub drivers?
TrakMiles Pro offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. After the trial, a monthly or annual subscription provides unlimited mileage tracking, revenue and expense management, Schedule C tax preparation, quarterly tax estimator, and PDF/CSV export. Learn more about pricing here.
Standard mileage or actual expenses — which is better for Grubhub drivers?
For most Grubhub drivers, the standard mileage rate produces a larger deduction and requires far less recordkeeping — just a mileage log, no receipts for gas or repairs. The actual expenses method can win if you drive a newer, expensive vehicle with high depreciation and operating costs. TrakMiles Pro's Schedule C Helper calculates both and shows you which one saves more money. Read our full standard mileage vs actual expenses guide.
