Vehicle Expenses.

If I did DoorDash under my dad's car, can I write it as a vehicle expense? A quick Google search yields mixed answers. According to this website, if you click the help button for the question that asks you if you own the car, it says this: "Also, to claim business vehicle expenses, the vehicle must be in the name of your self-employed business, your name, or your spouse's name only." This seems a little bit unintuitive, after all, I am the person who paid for the gas. I would appreciate any help.

The business deduction for vehicle use is based on mileage, not just amounts paid for gas. The self-employed person must either be the owner or lessee of the vehicle being used to claim the expense.

Is there no other way to claim expenses?
