BVRLA advises businesses to check their “Grey Fleet”
The BVRLA (British Vehicle rental and Leasing Association) is the trade body for companies engaged in leasing and rental of cars and commercial vehicles. The are advising businesses that they should check that “employee owned cars” used for business, are roadworthy and are properly insured.
John Lewis, chief executive of the BVRLA speaking at the OGC Annual Grey Fleet Conference told delegates that they needed to adopt a “zero tolerance” policy on employees who were unable to prove their vehicle was properly maintained and insured or give details of their driving licence. Companies still have a duty of care requirement for a “grey fleet”.
