Parking for work

It's a bit of a non issue if you are leaving but there are plenty of employers who do not provide parking or reimbursed parking for their employees.

That's missing the point - if the OP wasn't required to use her own car to get to business appointments throughout the day, she could travel to and from work by public transport, car share, or whatever.

Presumably the company is paying mileage and compensating for needing business use insurance.

Sorry which point was being missed?

Plenty of employers who require staff to have a car for their job do not provide parking and many of those who provide limited parking dont guarentee it. I.e. more staff than spaces.

In a previous job I was contractually obliged to have my car and was out doing visits between being in the office. The organisation had 6 staff from the site and 4 required a vehicle to do the job.

There were two spaces. If they were taken you had to park elsewhere.

In the end we struck a deal with a local supermarket to park for free. 

There are businesses up and down the country who do not provide parking for all employees they require to have a vehicle for their role. 

Presumably OP knew this when they took the job and factored it into accepting the job offer
