Can You Claim a Deduction for Car Expenses if You Travel for Conferences or Work Related Meetings?

DevRag up personal finance podcast, not business finance. Can you claim a deduction for car expenses if you travel for conferences or work-related meetings? What about damages that are incurred to the car in the line of work-related activity? You may be able to claim it as an expense for repairs or maintenance... provided you have a percentage private use versus work-related use. And the other travel expenses you can claim are meals, accommodation, fuel and electricity costs - but only if you stay overnight.
