Add a Vehicle
Before you can make a claim for mileage, your vehicle details need to be registered and your vehicle activated within Assure Expenses. In most cases, your vehicle details will be completed by your administrator, however, depending on your organisation's configuration of Assure Expenses, you may be able to register the vehicle yourself.
Note: If you are not permitted to add or change your own vehicle details, you will need to contact your administrator. For information on how to find your administrator's details, view Contact your Local Administrator.
