How far away from your residence is your rental property? Is this the type of travel that requires an airplane, or the type of travel that requires a 5 minute drive.
I've never claimed vehicle expenses against rental income, because the few short drives I make per year wouldn't provide enough tax savings to justify keeping the log. (IMO)
You can't deduct meals where you don't have a business purpose, the fact that you have to eat while you're doing rental property stuff isn't even close to meeting the standard. And business meals and entertainment (for the purposes of entertaining clients, for example) are only 50% deductible.
If you're really struggling for tax deductions against a rental property, you could start claiming depreciation. (CCA)
