Knowledge of Corporate Car Terms?

[thedahliharpa]

Has anyone had a corporate car? Or, does anyone have any info in their company manuals regarding your company's corporate car agreements?

[ktstorm]

What kind of information are you looking for? I don't have a corporate car, but our engineers do, and I interact with them a lot (I deliver training) so I hear a lot about what they are and aren't allowed to do regarding corporate cars.

I'm looking into the differences between a car allowance and a company owned car. I'm also trying to figure out who pays insurance for a company owned car and if the tax rate for an allowance differs from regular income tax.

I have to provide my own cup at work because they will no longer budget for cups.

BUT. My dad has always had a car. He gets to pick it, but it has to be under a certain amount which is directly related to how long he's worked there. A cc is provided to them for gas. I don't know if this is helpful at all.

Well I'm about to shit in someone's corporate cup...

I feel like we should organize a cup-raiser for you. If everyone sent Charlie 1 cup...

I'm really bitter about the cups, man.

My H company pays insurance on the company truck as well as gas.

I don't know anything about car allowances or the tax info, but our company pays the insurance.

Oh man. Been there. Good luck!

A good friend of mine is an adjuster for a popular insurance company. He has a company car. The company pays all gas, insurance and maintenance. He can also drive it after work and they still pay gas.

DH's employer pays all expenses for his corporate minivan. He's allowed drive it for personal use, but we pay for the gas if we were driving it up to Canada.

Im in HR at my company. We pay for the gas/ins/maint of our company cars. The guys (techs/engineers) can drive them home at night but we request they dont use them as personal cars on the weekends. Our sales associates are given a car allowance which is a non-taxed reimbursement.

[imimahoney]

I know about car allowances.

If you decide to not use the company car you may qualify for an allowance, so $250 per month (or whatever) towards car payments or gas costs.

Our engineers get a company truck; maintenence, insurance, and gas are covered. They also receieve a (very small) vehicle allowance with each pay check. I think this is because there is a hassle of trying to 'house' the truck at their homes. Thare are not to drive the company cars for any personal use.

My hubby has a car allowance and he has a company credit card that he uses to pay for all his gas. He has a choice between that or a company car and this is way more financially beneficial to us.
