i would fetch the issue up rally your work colleagues and call a meeting, discuss this with your employer, it is then down to your employer to take on board that issue. keep a record or jurneys resetting your trip counter for each day of employment mon-fri etc. eg monday start 8:30 start mileage 80.000 5:30pm end mileage 80.124 todays mile's 124miles. employers tend to argue that most miles are done outside of employment on evening and weekends, so showing that everyday you do do the miles and log them with mileage and trip miles from your cars computer or clocks. you can even break the trip miles down to per trip from one customer to another and picking up a colleague on the way, will show your maximum distance to one customer. this will help your employer decision, if not and you get the sack for asking you can prove at industrial tribunal.

I'd phone them up and tell them that my car has broken down, and I cannot afford to have it repaired. I am therefore now a non-driver, and could I have a lift please?

As your employer is refusing to reimburse you as the others said look for a new job.

Or set up your own cleaning company!

either that or tell them that your no longer covered for cummuting as your not commuting to one place of work and back again and want you to take out buisiness use instead wich is 10x more money for that cover so your not using your vehicle, cant sack you for that and will have to arrange a lift for you.

Rubbish. When I increased cover for business use my premium went up by £10 a year.

Surely the easiest way to sort this is to suddenly "loose access to your car?"

Same here £10 to £20 a year extra.

Will give them a try. My renewal is due on 18th.

They're worth trying anyway to be fair. Of all the insurance companies I've claimed with, Direct Line have been the best. Also their uninsured driver and vandalism cover where you do not lose NCB in these situations (note that you do fail to gain a years NCB though) was worth every penny when someone dropped a brick off a bridge onto my car while I was driving.

The fact that they were also £800 cheaper than the 2nd place insurer helped a lot too
