These might have already been mentioned, but here's a couple I've found on some 'interesting' metal:

Ford Fiesta ST-2 on a 6+23 deal at £179.99 inc VAT 8k mileage allowance.

New to this leasing game, looking for some advice.

Looking for 3 cars for salespeople. (Fiesta or similar in size)

Must be low Co2 for tax reasons.

PS - who normally pays the insurance in this situation the company or the staff?

Generally the company pays if it's providing a car

Company does and its always 3rd party so IF they have any accidents then your company will be footing the repair bills and the hire car costs while its being repaired.

We had an incident recently during the floods a car with 6 weeks to go on the lease it had 100k miles so 20k over drove through the flood ruined the engine turbo etc £5k damage and c£1k hire car costs plus £2k excess mileage fees.
Investigation took place but he was following other traffic at the same speed he was the sole car to be impacted as it turns out due to the air intake on Vauxhalls being very low so a OEM design flaw. Couldn't go down disciplinary route.

Given his annual lease costs were only c£4k a year for that sales rep it harmed his margin and resulted in just missing bonus..

Anywhere I've worked it's always been fully comp that the company provides, albeit usually with a reasonably high excess.

3rd party seems a bit odd (I guess all down to the price!).

Ok will get some quotes! Any decent companies for the cars?

In the days when we had a 'fleet' it was always fully comp, can't imagine anyone insuring a new company car 3rd party. We eventually made company car users get their own insurance and reimbursed them through expenses, saved a few grand on a 12 car fleet of A4's. No more company cars, they're all on allowances now, except for me, run a 458 Italia as a pool car!!

Welshbeef is spouting bks, most companies run fully comprehensive policies with the highest excess possible to reduce the premium, but there is nothing to stop you telling your employees that they will be liable for the excess if their fault.

Why? If you're a massive outfit, paying somebody else to insure your cars seems an unnecessary cost. You're paying someone else to take a risk (and make a profit from that risk) that you can afford.

Every large company I've worked for has self insured. I believe the police do as well (although that may be more due to difficulty in finding affordable insurance).

I wouldn't fancy leaving that parked up at your office overnight, let alone making it available for other employees to use for business purposes only.

My company is all fully comp but with a £2,500 excess (that the company pays rather than the employee).

Welshbeef - try www.leasing4business.co.uk for your company cars. That's Lex Autolease the largest leasing company. Alternatively search for leasing brokers who sometimes have better discounts.

No idea how this stacks up but saw it on one of the sites I tend to check regularly:
