I've just got a new job where I will be on the road. I have my own car and do not want a company car, so they are giving me a car allowance of €3,000 per anum - or €250 per month. I think this is a little low. Can anyone tell me what is the average, and what else is included normally? The company is in Northern Ireland and I will be the first empoyee is the south. Cars cost more down here so perhaps they are just a little misinformed as to what is the average. After tax this would barely cover tax and insurance.

Also, what would I usually get on top of this. I assume i get a least a petrol card, or perhaps a cost per mile?

I'd appreciate any advice
Cheers

Hi Colly,
My car allowance is 750 per month, also have option of company car instead.I only use car for travel to work. If I have to use my own car for business I can expense mileage, . 250 is very low especially if you will be on the road having to pay your own expenses
 
I am assuming that they will cover petrol as well, they'd have to woudn't they?
