Car Allowance?

[Gimpymoo]

Am looking into a new job and the salary package is broke down into salary and car allowance.

Never had a job with "car allowance" paid this way, and just looking for info from anyone who has.

Why separate it out in that way? I assume by doing so they are saying "car is needed"?

My understanding is that they pay an amount on top of the "salary" and that covers any mileage you may incur and negates the need for a company car scheme?

Thanks for any help.

T'was very tongue in cheek

I should have added a smiley to my post... without it it does not mean what I intended it to mean
