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 change the rate in your Workspace settings. In Expensify Classic, go to Settings > Workspaces > [Your Workspace] > Expenses > Distance > Add a Mileage Rate. If you submit mileage expenses on a group workspace, you must be a workspace admin to make changes.

Individual workspaces offer a single default mileage rate that is aligned with the current IRS mileage reimbursement rate.
