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.


  1. Navigate from the homepage to My Details | Add Vehicle.

  2. In the 'Previous Vehicle' section, select whether or not this vehicle replaces a previous vehicle.

    • If you select Yes, a new drop-down list will display that allows you to select the previous vehicle to replace.

      Note: If you are replacing a vehicle and you are using the same registration number (a private registration number), it can take up to 28 days for DVLA to update the vehicle details. If you are still having trouble updating your vehicle details, contact your local administrator. 


    • If you select No, no further fields will display.

  3. Complete the Vehicle Details section:

  6. Click Save to store your vehicle information.

    Note: After you have saved, a message will appear indicating which additional duty of care documentation is required by your company. This would include your Tax, MOT, Insurance, Service or Breakdown Cover information. When adding these records you will also be required to upload a scanned copy of the documentation.


    Note: Vehicle Tax/MOT documents will be recorded automatically and will not appear on the list below if  if Vehicle Check is enabled for your organisation. Contact your administrator for more information.
