Using your own vehicle for business trips -insurance requirements

As restrictions continue to be relaxed employees should be reminded that if they wish to use their personal vehicles for business trips then they must ensure that their motor insurance policy includes cover for “business use”. Without the appropriate insurance cover employees are not allowed to use their vehicle on University business or reclaim mileage for business trips.

 

The mileage rate paid already includes an element towards insurance costs.  It should also be noted, that despite the fact that many have been working from home for the best part of the last year, business trips still do not include travel from home to the ‘normal’ place of work (ordinary commuting). More information about when use of a private vehicle may be appropriate and requirements can be found in Chapter 5b of Financial Procedures Manual – Private vehicle travel.
