I’m just confused on why they are forcing me to rent a car at their expense, instead of using my own car. this is the first year they said they are getting me a car.

what could be reasons why they would opt for rental instead of km/milage reimbursement?

I don’t wanna drive no automatic lol

    Maybe they don’t have faith in your choice of car or diligence with keeping it presentable.

    Or maybe someone is doing a nepotism.

      lol, it’s a Christmas party for work. no clients will see my 2 year old car.

      I just find it odd they would add complexity to the 7 hour drive with having to pickup/dropoff, potential upselling, car not available, magical damage the rental company might claim post dropoff.

      vs me just driving my own car which I’ve done the last 5 years.

      I can’t find and valid reason for it. I doubt it’s even cheaper. oh well…

        Did they also pick the car rental company for, assuming there is more than one option in your area? Increasingly sounds like nepotism or similar …

          yeah major city. tons of options. enterprise was their chosen company.

          might very well be nepotism, just such an odd decision to take on the risk of renting a car vs having me use my own.
