The need for good, accurate market information on cars has never been greater. Our survey shows that companies see the company car are an aspect of benefit packages which is increasing in importance. The combination of legal changes increasing corporate responsibility and of environmental pressure means both that cars are coming back, allowances are starting to fall and, when you develop your car policy, you need to look very closely at what you give when you give a car.

Our survey of company car policy is designed to show you how companies decide who gets what car (or car/cash allowance) and when.
