Can I end a drive myself?
It ends on its own
There is nothing to press when you arrive. OdoTax ends a drive once the car has been stopped for about five minutes. If a long stop ended it and you drive on within 10 minutes and 300 meters, the two are joined back into one drive — see Can I split or merge drives?.
It ends on its own
There is nothing to press when you arrive, and on Android there is no stop button: OdoTax ends a drive once the car has been stopped for about five minutes, or sooner once you walk away from it. If a long stop ended it and you drive on within 10 minutes and 300 meters, the two are joined back into one drive — see Can I split or merge drives?.
From the Lock Screen
While OdoTax records a drive, the Lock Screen shows it as a Live Activity: Drive in progress, how long it has run, the distance so far and its Potential — what it is worth as a business drive. Tap Stop drive to end it there and then — useful as you park, so the drive does not wait out the five minutes. The card then says Drive logged; tap it to classify the drive.
On an iPhone with a Dynamic Island the drive sits at the top of the screen too: touch and hold the island to open it, with the same Stop drive.

With Siri
Say "End my drive in odo" — "Stop my drive in odo" and "Finish my drive in odo" work too. The app's name has to be in the sentence, and there is nothing to set up. Settings → Siri lists the phrases, along with Show my drive: it puts the drive being recorded on the Lock Screen with its Stop drive button, and the Shortcuts app can put it on the Action button or in Control Center.
