Drivers warned on business trips

WILTSHIRE drivers and business owners have been warned that drivers on one in ten business trips may be uninsured.

Car hire firm Enterprise Rent-A-Car said that six out of 10 employees said they often drive their personal car for work, but one out of those six admitted that they have never told their insurance companies they use their own car for this purpose.

It means that in the event of an accident during a work-related journey, those drivers will not be insured.

Brice Adamson, UK managing director at Enterprise Rent-A-Car said: "Many businesses could be putting themselves at risk because they don't know enough about the cars their employees are using for business trips.

"Drivers, meanwhile, must have the correct insurance cover if they are driving their own cars for work."
