Can I claim mileage for Amazon Flex?
Yes - every mile from your first collection to your last drop, but not the drive from home to the depot.
Last checked 12/09/2026.
Yes. Amazon Flex miles are business miles and are claimable at 55p a mile for your first 10,000 business miles in the tax year, then 25p.
The exception is the drive from home to the depot at the start of your block and back home at the end. That is ordinary commuting and is not claimable - which matters for Flex specifically, because that round trip can be a substantial share of a block's mileage.
Everything between arriving at the depot and finishing your last drop counts, including a trip back to the station with undeliverable parcels.

How Amazon Flex pay works
Amazon Flex pays a fixed price for a block of time, quoted before you accept it. The figure is gross, it says nothing about the miles the route will run, and everything after that, fuel, insurance, wear and tax, comes out of it.
