I’m just confused on why they are forcing me to rent a car at their expense, instead of using my own car. this is the first year they said they are getting me a car.

what could be reasons why they would opt for rental instead of km/milage reimbursement?

I don’t wanna drive no automatic lol

    Will the full tank you get with the rental get you there?

    Are they covering your fuel costs?

    If yes, there’s your answer

      I don’t know about the rental.

      my personal car I end up doing 4.3L/100km so about 54Mpg. Like, I doubt it’ll get much cheaper unless it’s electric.

      they do cover fuel, kms, and my time spent on the road.

      I’m sure it’s a monetary thing but I can’t help but think it’ll be the same, if not more expensive renting.

        So they’re covering the cost of the car, the cost of the fuel and also paying you for the hours spent driving?

        They must really want you at this event

        While I can’t answer your direct question, look at it like this. You are looking for reason why the company wants to not put miles/kilometers on your car, that wants to not waste your fuel, that wants to not put wear and tear on your car for 7 hours (14 hours?)…

        While I’d also be confused as to the logic, just smile, say thanks, and enjoy the small additional holiday bonus that you get from beating on someone else’s ride.

        Unless you recently pissed someone off, and they just happen to know someone in the rental gig, whereas I’d be very cautious about the condition of the brakes.
