Mileage rates in Ireland
Ireland uses the civil service motor travel rates, which depend on engine size and on how far you have already driven this year, so there is no single figure to apply. Take your rate from the Revenue table. Electric vehicles use the 1,201-1,500cc rates.
What applies now
This is one column of a larger table. Ireland sets the rate by engine size as well as by distance, so check your own vehicle against the source below before you rely on the figures here.
| Band | Rate |
|---|---|
| The first 1,500 kilometres | 43.4 cents |
| 1,501 to 5,500 kilometres | 79.18 cents |
| 5,501 to 25,000 kilometres | 31.79 cents |
| Everything past 25,000 kilometres | 23.85 cents |
How a claim is worked out

| The first 1,500 kilometres | 1,500 | 43.4 cents | €651.00 |
| 1,501 to 5,500 kilometres | 300 | 79.18 cents | €237.54 |
