Company Car vs Car Allowance

Hi,

I'm applying for an internal post, and it mentions company car or car allowance.

Can someone explain to me how this works please? And which is better?

My personal car is over 6yrs of age , with over 70k miles on. I have been thinking of changing my car of late anyway.

    Is it a salary sacrifice car scheme? Would you be looking at an all electric vehicle?

    Depends what sort of car is on offer, and how much the cash alternative is, so impossible to answer that - but help is readily at hand! Plenty of online calculators such as https://comcar.co.uk/cashorcar/simple/ or https://www.drivesmart.co.uk/payswapdriverstart.aspx
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
