Built for South African tax law

Every trip you drive, written into the logbook by itself.

RecordMyRide watches your GPS in the background, notices the moment a journey ends, and asks one question: Business or Private? That’s the whole logbook. No odometer photos, no end-of-year guesswork, no spreadsheet you forgot to update since March.

The problem with logbooks

SARS wants a logbook. Nobody keeps one properly.

Section 8(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act is specific: opening and closing odometer readings, the date, the distance, and the business purpose of every trip you want to claim. Most people write it up once a year, from memory, the week before their return is due — which is exactly when an auditor is least likely to believe it.

What it actually does

Three habits, replaced with one app.

Detects trips on its own

Background GPS notices when you start and stop driving — no button to press, nothing to remember before you pull out of the driveway.

Learns your routes

Drive to the same client twice and RecordMyRide starts suggesting the classification for you. Confirm once, and it remembers.

Builds the SARS logbook for you

Every business trip, with real odometer readings interpolated from your own periodic check-ins, exported as a compliant PDF whenever you need it.

Why this exists

Built by someone who has actually been audited on a logbook.

RecordMyRide comes out of AdVenture Designs, the team behind EmergiTag. We built this because reconstructing a year of business travel from memory is a genuinely bad way to spend an evening — and because SARS doesn’t grade on effort.
