Company Car Portal

Company Car Portal FAQs

• Why should a business use a company car portal?

  A company car portal makes a company car scheme easier to run. Instead of managing requests through emails and spreadsheets, everything sits in one system. Your policy is applied the same way to every employee, so each person only sees the cars they’re eligible for.

  Employees can check accurate monthly costs and company car tax, which means fewer queries for your team. You also keep control of budgets and approvals.

• Is a company car portal easy to set up?

  Yes. Our team sets up the portal for you and provides guidance throughout, at no cost to your business. If you already have a company car policy, we import it and use it to set the rules for your scheme. If you don’t, we’ll set the portal up around your business requirements.

  You can add employees in bulk or in batches, and automated emails keep them updated as the scheme goes live. Once everything is in place, our team continues to provide admin support whenever you need it.

• What size of business is a company car portal best suited to?

  Our company car portal is best suited to businesses with more than 20 employees. At that size, managing eligibility, allowances, and approvals by hand takes a lot of time. The portal brings it all into one system and applies your policy consistently to every employee. It works whether you run a small group of company car drivers or a larger fleet.

• How can we keep company car costs within budget?

  The portal gives you several ways to control costs. You can set pre-set budgets and filter the cars employees see by P11D value. Pricing matches your budget using whole-of-life cost, and maintenance can be factored in where your scheme allows. Every order also goes through your own approval stages before it’s placed.

• Should we offer company cars, salary sacrifice, or both?

  It depends on what you need the cars for. Company cars are part of your fleet and usually go to employees who need a car for their role. Salary sacrifice is an employee benefit where staff give up part of their salary in exchange for a car. Many businesses offer both. Our team can talk you through which option suits your business best.
