NAB: I didn't expect you to delete the whole question as mentioned here 🙃 , but it's ok either way.

Yeah, I tend to agree that was a good Q. :)

Yeah, I mean I think you were right - Users can't submit mileage requests to group policies yet, and mileage rates can only be modified on group policies, so that question isn't relevant yet until you can submit requests to paid policies.

FWIW, you can modify the mileage rate and unit in the free plan workspace editor on NewDot.



## How can I change the mileage rate used on my distance requests or add an additional rate?

If you use a group workspace, then you can edit the default distance rate or add additional rates in your Workspace settings. In Expensify Classic, go to Settings > Workspaces > [Your Workspace] > Expenses and scroll down to the Distance section to update or add mileage rates. You must be a workspace admin to modify or add rates.
