Business Miles

I’ve moved to a part of our company which has the added perk of a car so I’m trying to get my head around “business mileage”. My manager has told me what I can and cannot claim, but I want to make sure it is all above board!
Here are my two examples...
1) If I travel to a site from home, and go directly back home afterwards... is that whole trip classified as “business mileage”? In previous jobs I always had to deduct my home to work base mileage... but in this company I’m told no, the whole journey is business and therefore covered.
2) My new job is temporarily based at an office closer to my house (the whole company will move there in the future but some staff including my role are moving now)! We’ve been told that as this is a temp base pending reviews for the business as a whole, we can claim business travel to it for up to 2 years. So again... even though it’s closer than my permanent base, it’s business none the less?
At this rate I all the fuel I’ll use will be covered by the company, but I just want to make sure this is legit!
