I rented a car through the Avis/Uber partnership to have a vehicle I could use for grocery/food delivery for a short time. Of course, I'm aware I can write off the expense of the actual car rental but I'm unsure about if I can write off the gas purchased for delivery driving while I had the car since I can't claim mileage on a car that wasn't mine? If so, what category do I put it under in expenses because I can't find a category that is a good match? Also, should the rental car be under business travel or equipment rental? I had it under business travel but it told me to double check that, then I found an article here on Turbotax that said put it under equipment rental if it's a rental for gig work, but then it still says double check when I did that to... So, I don't know what expense category I need to put it under or if it even matters? Thanks for the help!
