Once started, those that simply charge for the costs cannot later switch over and begin deducting for the milage. If a person is going to keep the car for a long time, it is far better to go mileage since that way your depreciation is covered for the entire time you use the vehicle, ie, even after 10 years, you still are getting to deduct the mileage rate as though the car was still depreciating.
