Can an employer insist an employee uses their own car for Business?

Why not just hire a car for a week or two until the old car is fixed or a replacement is bought? If the contract of employment requires the employee to have a car, then that's what he needs to have.

I get 45ppm for using my own car for business. HMRC rate.

Although i agree that the milage rate is poor compared to other companies my car has cost me less than 18p a mile over its life including all costs such as fuel, repairs, insurance and tax plus also the original cost of the car.
So its possible to keep motoring costs lower than 25p per mile even if he only used the car for work.

But he doesn't seem to be trying very hard to get a new car. Only two options over three days he has had off. He should be researching cars and planning atleast 3 different ones to view in a day and if the first one falls through he will have 2 others to view.

Perhaps people are now hanging onto their old cars with well graduated VED tax - new cars from April will add a major chunk of money to the total cost of ownership. It's certainly going to motivate me & OH to hang onto ours.
