Pool cars are used for employees when they need to travel as part of their work. They are not designated to one person alone, meaning that they can be driven by multiple members of staff as and when the need arises. This is a good solution if staff will be required to travel quite regularly, but not enough to warrant them having their own company car or a car allowance.

When choosing your pool car, think about the following:

• Price. A business lease is very different to a personal lease. The costs may be lower but be careful about reading the terms and conditions thoroughly so you understand your legal obligations.
• Insurance. There will be different options depending on how many employees you want to be insured on the car.
• Branding. If you would like to put your business’s branding on the car, choose a suitable colour, like white or grey.
