Mileage Reimbursement

February 7, 2012

We have an adjuster that says the FIRST 1,000 MILES of extra mileage incurred is paid .51 per mile and then all mileage after that is.15 per mile.

The insured has logged 13,000 miles and can document all of them since the fire. Do we go by the IRS ruling?

Yes, you go by the IRS standard; they have calculated it out to an exact science, so the number is used by everyone. And if the carrier put the insured so far away that they burned 13,000 miles, it's the carrier's own fault. The insured gets the IRS rate for all miles, not just the first 1,000.
