EIM23813 - Pooled cars and vans: inadequate parking facilities

You will sometimes get claims that a car or van that would otherwise qualify as a pooled car or van is only taken home at night by an employee because:

  • there are inadequate car parking facilities at the employer's premises, or
  • if the car or van were left overnight at the employer's premises it might well be damaged by vandals, etc.

Apart from the exception at EIM23811 for chauffeurs do not admit such a claim or offer any concession. A vehicle must satisfy all three of the tests set out in EIM23800 to qualify as a pooled car or van.
