Even at $1/mile, uber and the like are very expensive relative to the average car in the US fleet. As many companies have cars for business use, that churches use vehicles commonly, and that medical use of cars is a necessity, the IRS publishes guidelines on how to deduct the use of an automobile [0]. From my understanding, they take in account many factors when publishing the standard, from wear and tear, to gas purchases, to depreciation, and to age of car. Going off the IRS, the 2017 standard mileage rate for something like uber should be $0.535/mile or less. I have commonly been reimbursed at this rate when driving my own car for work, job interviews, conferences, etc. and it is the business standard rate.
