I drove all over the state of Florida, plus some in GA and AL from Oct-Dec delivering hurricane relief and transporting animals for a nonprofit 501(c)3 that I volunteered with.

UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

Yes - You can deduct mileage driven on your own car for charity.

You cannot deduct the mileage in the company vehicle; however if you incurred expenses for the company vehicle, like gas, and were not reimbursed, you can take that as a charitable deduction.

The mileage rate is 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations?.
