How It Works
How trips and mileage work in UltiBudget.
Set up vehicles, log manual trips, use location help when available, classify each drive, and tune automatic detection from Trip Settings.
Open the Trips tab
Trips gives you speed status, monitoring status, mileage totals, and saved trip rows in one place.
Read the location primer
The first-time primer explains why location is used, how privacy works, and why Always Location plus motion access improves automatic detection.
Add a vehicle first
Open Trip Settings and tap Add Vehicle. Enter a display name, make/model, license plate, current odometer, and whether it is your primary vehicle.
Add a manual trip
From Trips, tap Menu, then Add Trip. Choose the vehicle, enter odometer readings, start and end places, purpose, and notes.
Use location help when available
When location is allowed, the trip form can use current place, address suggestions, coordinates, and nearby place names to speed up entry.
Review totals and classify trips
Mileage totals are grouped by purpose. Swipe trip rows to mark trips as Business or Personal, and tap rows to expand leg details.
Tune automatic detection
Trip Settings shows location status, auto-detection status, driving status, selected vehicle, trip sync, and vehicle management.
Mileage Records
Keep the details that make a trip useful later.
Trips in UltiBudget are built for mileage logs that need context: the vehicle, the distance, the purpose, the places, and the notes that explain why the drive mattered.

Vehicles, odometers, and places
Vehicle setup stores display name, make and model, license plate, current odometer, primary vehicle status, and notes for cleaner mileage records.
Mileage totals stay organized
Trips roll up by Business, Personal, Charity, and Other, while rows can be expanded, classified with swipe actions, edited, or deleted.
