Mileage for limo and black car drivers
Per mile
Can Limo and Black Car Drivers Write Off Mileage?
Short answer: Yes: limo and black car drivers can deduct business miles at the IRS standard mileage rate, which already covers gas, insurance, and wear.
Track every business mile with an app or log; commuting to a regular workplace isn't deductible. Use the standard mileage rate (70 cents a mile for 2025, adjusted yearly) or actual costs times business-use percentage, not both in the same year.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
