HR and Reward professionals need good, accurate market information on company cars and car allowances. Our Car survey, running now for over 20 years, shows that many companies see company cars as an increasingly important part of their benefit packages. The combination of corporate responsibility and environmental pressure means both that cars are coming back, allowances are decreasing and that, when you develop your car policy, you need to look very closely at what you give when you give a car.
