A company car is an excellent bonus within your job. It means that you don’t need to worry about paying for car repairs and maintenance yourself, and you will always be provided with a car that you can use in your business and personal life. Just make sure you fully understand your obligations.
Check what is included with the car first. It should include insurance for you, but is anyone else insured to drive it? Does the car come with breakdown cover? This may be something that you need to provide yourself.
Make sure you know if it is your responsibility to get the car serviced and MOT’d. The company should cover the costs of this, but you may need to schedule it in. Check whether it needs to go to a specific garage or service provider and understand your obligations. Make sure you get the log book stamped so it has proof of a full service history.
