A Great Option for your Business

A lot of businesses offer their employees the opportunity to drive a company car. Unfortunately, this normally means that your employees have to offset a proportion of the value of the car against their earnings for tax purposes. This can be quite a problem to many employees, and it is not necessarily a policy that will endear you to your workers! A far better solution is to look into lease cars as an option for your employees. The best thing with this is that you offer your employees exactly the same possibilities – which is to drive around a brand new car which for the most part is not their responsibility, and on top of that, they will not have to hit their tax bill if you have the cars registered as pool cars for your business. This effectively means that the cars are for the use of all of your employees, and they do not have to take the responsibility of owning or maintaining them.

Of course, once you have this deal in place there are many advantages to you, the employer. You will now have a workforce driving about in nice new cars which will reflect well on the company. You will be projecting an image of success onto your business, which ultimately will be good for business! On top of that, excuses for your employees being late to work because of car troubles will be a thing of the past! Id there are any problems with the vehicles then the lease company who supplies them will deal with this. For me, leasing is the only choice to make.

Getting the Lowest Rate on Cheap Car Insurance

It's a regrettable fact that automobile insurance is the greatest secondary expense in owning a vehicle. With most states requiring insurance before a vehicle can even be licensed it can be very hard to find a rate that is not sometimes more than the car payments themselves. There are a few methods that can help one keep this expense down to a minimum while still providing the security that comes with knowing that you have some financial protection in case of accidents.

Shopping for cheap car insurance rates online has become the most effective means of getting the best price on car insurance. Besides the sites owned by insurance companies that sell directly, many more sites have found their niche by providing insurance price quotes from a number of the insurance companies. This way car insurance prices can be compared side by side to help determine what policy and which company is right for the individual and their circumstances. Obtaining price quotes through these online sites is very quick and even better is the fact that these sites offer their services for free. Some major insurance companies even offer discounts to people who go through these sites and purchase their policies online at that time.

Comparison shopping online provides one with the opportunity to enter the information about themselves and their vehicles once and recall that information each time they wish to check out a new variable in insurance policy details. This saves a lot of time over the old way where you would have to provide all this information each and every time you contacted an individual car insurance company. With this time saving feature a person can more quickly compare costs on a number of variables across many insurance companies.

With all this data at hand it is much easier to find the lowest rates for car insurance and the cheapest prices at reputable insurance companies. With the online brokers generally dealing only with the major insurance companies there is less chance of being taken in by cut-rate insurance quotes from companies that may not actually pay off in the event you do have an accident and need to make use of your insurance.
