Can You Write Off Car Repairs for Rideshare Drivers?
Short answer: Only with the actual expense method; if you use standard mileage, repairs are already built into the rate.
Use the standard mileage rate (72.5 cents a mile for 2026) or actual costs times business-use percentage, and keep a log of each trip.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
