Insurance renewal.

Surely if the company need him to be able to drive for business, and won't/can't provide a pool car, then they need to pay the additional insurance costs. Else, don't drve for business purposes.

Had the same debate when I was working, amazing how quickly they managed to let me use the pool car.

Age thing. They had insured all the cars via the same policy, so the pool Corsa was on the same policy as the two bosses £100k cars, so effectively he 'could' drive them, but had to be 25. He was 23. Unfortunately, they weren't the best company to work for and they got stung for 45p per mile. Hammered the car - think it ended up clocking 20k miles in 12 months. It's back to shopping trip duties currently, so mileage will only be a few k.

Oh, and dropping in all the license numbers reduced the quote by a whopping £20.

I'll reiterate - if they don't provide the transport, don't drive for business - simple.

I let the cars renew. Tried to look for something cheaper but it was down to a few £ difference and they wanted the exact cost of the accident I had when the steering linkage broke. I knew what it cost me but no idea what the cost re the othet vehicle was.
