Grey Fleet

 

What is a grey fleet?

A grey fleet is a group of privately owned vehicles that are used for business journeys. As an employer you are responsible for the health and safety of employees using these vehicles on business regardless of the ownership.

Fleet News have online resources for Fleet Managers looking for more information on managing a Grey Fleet.

Grey Fleet

Grey fleet drivers are employees that drive their own cars for business. Having grey fleet drivers can be more beneficial for businesses that do not travel high business mileage, however grey fleet drivers can sometimes be hard to manage in respect of mileage, accident management and general vehicle maintenance.

If a grey fleet driver is out on business, your company could be liable if they were to have an accident. There is also the AMAP rates to consider and overall duty of care.
