Auditing and redesigning your car policy

Your car policy sets the rules of the game for your drivers and your costs. In 2026, taxation, electrification and the mobility budget call for a thorough review.

Why review your car policy now

  • Only zero-emission cars remain deductible for orders placed since 2026.
  • Charging at home, at work and in public needs a framework, with reimbursement in line with the CREG tariff.
  • The mobility budget is expected to become mandatory in 2027 for employers with at least 50 employees.
  • Low-emission zones and employee expectations keep evolving.

What a good car policy contains

  • Job categories and the related budgets (lease price or TCO*).
  • A shortlist of models per category, compared on their total cost.
  • Rules on private use, personal contribution and excess mileage.
  • Energy: fuel and charge cards, home charger, electricity reimbursement.
  • Claims, deductibles and driver responsibilities.
  • End of contract, replacement and the mobility budget option.

Our approach

  1. Audit of the existing policy, contracts and actual practice.
  2. Benchmark and analysis of gaps between entities or countries.
  3. New car policy written with you, with a shortlist per category.
  4. Roll-out: communication to drivers, management tools, follow-up.

Among other projects, we harmonised the car policies of IXINA Group’s French and Belgian branches, and helped Groupe Rossel create and optimise a category-based shortlist.
