SE23811 - Pooled cars and vans: use of "pooled cars" by chauffeurs

A chauffeur who is normally employed to drive pooled cars is often obliged to take a pooled car home overnight. Although the travel between the chauffeur`s permanent workplace and home counts as “private use” you should not regard this as disqualifying the car from being treated as a pooled car.

Similarly the fact that the car is kept overnight at or near the chauffeur's home need not be regarded as disqualifying it from ranking as a pooled car.

However, the chauffeur may be permitted to use the car privately at weekends or for holidays. In these circumstances the car will cease to qualify as a pooled car.
