A company car is a vehicle which companies or organizations lease or own and which employees use for their personal and business travel.[1] A take-home vehicle is a vehicle which can be taken home by company employees. Depending on the company, company cars may be available to all employees or just top-level personnel.[2]
In corporate car sharing, the company shares the vehicles and allows multiple employees (rather than just one) to make use of a company car, at times when they actually need it. The vehicles are made available from a corporate car sharing pool, and shared for a fixed or flexible period of time.[3] One shared car could replace up to 8 non-shared cars. However, car-sharing does involve additional processing and associated costs.[4] Still, it reduces fleet-related costs over the long term and allow employees to save not only on costs but also on time.[5][clarification needed]
