Company car policy

What is a company car policy?

In general, a company car policy sets user guidelines for cars that are owned or leased by the company for its employees. This usage of the car can be both for work and running any other personal errands.

So, a company car policy ensures the transportation needs of their employees. Here in this policy, we address guidelines set for all company-owned cars/other vehicles.
