Explain Your Company Car Policy in a Booklet

A Company Driving Policy for Driving at Work by Business Car Drivers must be in a signed for Company Car Policy Booklet

All vehicles owned by the Company, an employee or third party, when driven on business for the company the driver must be aware of their responsibilities and that of the company.

Our favourite saying in this business is "It is not what you have done but what you can prove you have done!" and the best way is to have it written down for all to see!

You only need one disgruntled driver to cause you and your company grief!

Your company car policy given in a booklet to each driver and signed for by them makes it difficult for anybody to argue with your written word.

We have used an example of what we mean by including in full a Company Car Policy written by us for a large company incorporating some of their instructions.

The introduction is below and the headings and subheadings are in the right-hand column.
