A company car is a vehicle provided by an employer to an employee for work-related purposes. It is typically used for traveling to meetings, transporting goods or equipment, and other job-related tasks. Some company cars are also available for personal use, but this depends on the company's policies. The cost of the car, including maintenance and insurance, is usually covered by the employer. Company cars are often offered as a benefit to employees, especially in jobs that require frequent travel or customer visits.
