Company Car Billboard

A cuz of mine is a security engineer with chub. He gets a reasonable mid level large estate car with Chub logos down the side. He seems perfectly happy with the free car and low Bik situation. 

I think much would depend on which company you worked for........

(Humorous suggestions on the back of a £5 note to me, please)

When I first got a company car, a friend was promoted at the same time and also received one. We got them in the same week. He changed the tax disc holder, the floor mats, removed the window stickers and something else I forget* to remove all traces of the lease company, PHH I think, all so that people wouldn't realise he had a company lease car, though he loved the car itself.

I, on the other hand, told everybody it was a company car, I was so chuffed that someone else would pay for a car for me. I became an 18k+ mileage user at the same time.

On the subject of advertising though, it would depend on a number of things, not least of which would be where I might need to park it. But that to one side, I'd drive a logo'd car with no issue.


*I remember, it was the number plates.

Wouldn't especially bother me, I don't spend a great deal of time looking at the outside of my car but I do spend a lot of time in it. If it led to a significant financial gain I'd take it all day long.

However, years ago, I did work for a big German company who issued more or less anyone with a tie with a black Audi A6 Avant. They all had the company logo on the tailgate. Seemed to work ok in their domestic market but in the UK, the cars were constantly being broken into as it was a fairly premium brand, and the low life obviously decided they might contain something valuable.

Does he live near Stuttgart, Kornwestheim even? I did know a Frank and his surname might have been Martin.

Oh, ok, penny dropped.

Jeez, it took me ages, and I only realised that there even was a penny that needed dropping after reading Humph's comment.
