Three ways to reimburse employee driving in Canada.
Expert partnership included.

Fixed and Variable Rate (FAVR)

Best for
High-kilometer or multi-region teams that need the most accurate reimbursement.

What it does
Delivers localized reimbursements that reflect the true fixed and variable costs of owning and operating a vehicle for business.

  • Personalized rates based on where drivers live*
  • Fair reimbursements tied to real driving costs
  • Highly configurable and scalable
  • Designed to align with CRA guidelines for reasonableness; tax-free treatment is determined by the employer

*Reimbursement rates vary by location because the true cost of operating a vehicle differs across Canada due to regional differences in fuel prices, insurance, taxes, licensing fees, maintenance costs, and other local vehicle operating costs. 

Cents-Per-Kilometer (CPK)

Best for
Companies looking to reimburse business driving using a standarized 
per-kilometer rate. 

What it does
Pays employees a per-kilometer rate — typically the CRA prescribed 
mileage rate.

  • Automatically adjusts to CRA tiered per-kilometer rates as drivers reach annual mileage thresholds
  • GPS-verified kilometers reduces inflated claims and simplifies mileage capture
  • Flexible as a standalone program or in combination with other models
  • Can be tax-free when reimbursements stay at or below CRA prescribed rates and are reasonable.

Car Allowance

Best for
Organizations that want fixed monthly payments for employees. 

What it does
Provides a fixed monthly allowance paired with kilometer tracking for visibility into business mileage.

  • Simple monthly payments with automated kilometer documentation
  • You set the monthly payment amount for employees
  • Generally treated as taxable under CRA guidelines

Road Smart: Driver safety training

What it does
Short, in-app safety lessons tailored for employees who use their personal vehicles for work — building safer driving habits and reinforcing defensive driving practices.

  • One Motus app for everything: Drivers complete training in the same app they use for mileage capture in English or French 
  • Higher engagement with lower disruption: lessons are under two minutes and integrated into the app 
  • If 100% completion is important to you (or your insurance company), you can require drivers to complete their training before they can submit their mileage for reimbursement
