A lot less common than UK, but they have good expenses for fuel allowance and you can expect to get from 60c to $1 per km.

Yes as said above, if you work representing a company (private) they are likely to give you a veeheecle. However, there is no company car tax here so you get your comupance (?) by having your company name plastered all over in, yes even the BMW and Audis. For example......

Yeah, I had the option of a company motor (white Corolla Stationwagon with company name plastered down both sides) for a chunk of cash out of my yearly salary, decided I could make better use of the cash and bought my own wheels...but yes, some companies do offer company cars, and they are not taxed as a benefit as they would be at home

Re: Yet another question......
in places, yes, and you often get a free fuel card too (employer will pay Fringe Benefit Tax, employee does not pay tax but may be asked to contribute to vehicle) - my old one was from www.customfleet.co.nz
Watch out as they may well make you pay for any "personal" cell/mobile phone calls.........

What a wonderfully comprehensive answer. Thank you everyone!
I would drive around in pretty much anything if someone else was paying!
