Mileage Deduction

I am listed as a driver on the insurance for  the car I use as a Doordash Delivery Driver. Am I allowed by the IRS to deduct mileage even though I'm not the owner but am listed as a driver?

If you are not listed as an Owner of the vehicle, you can only claim Actual Expenses for using the vehicle for your Business.  This involves keeping more records than just mileage driven for business. 

 

Here's detailed info on Claiming Actual Expenses for a Business Vehicle.
