If you have a courtesy car do the company that have provided you with that car give you petrol normally!?

Nope. You are expected to make good any petrol used.

It should be delivered with a minimum amount of petrol in the tank to enable you to get to a garage. Sometimes you might get lucky and the previous driver has left more in it but usually you pay for your own.

no they dont, you get what ever is left in the tank by the previous user

Depends on the hire contract. Some leave it with a full tank and you have to fill it back up before you return it and others just say fill it to the level it was at when you picked it up. Look at the contract

No. But it may be either full or empty and you return it as it was delivered.

When I've had them before they generally come to me almost empty. You just buy the petrol you are going to use.

hearsageordie

the car will come with petrol, and you have to replace what petrol was there when handing the car back

Neil

No. I've always been told to return the car with the same amount of fuel in as there was when I got it.

If you didn't have the courtesy car, you'd have to buy the fuel for your own car, so you're not really losing out.

no .all the petrol you use must be paid for by you. having the use of the car covers mileage,tax and insurance only.

Nope they will give you enough to get to the petrol station only, make sure though when you take it back there is none in it.

They will normally either give you as close to no petrol, or insist that the tank is filled back to the same level as when you got the car.

Watch out if you don't fill it up - you will probably get billed for the cost of the fuel plus an "administration charge".

Although, if you had your own car you would be paying for the fuel (and wear and tear on the vehicle's tyres and so on), so it's not actually costing you anything.

In my experience - and over the years i have had a lot of courtesy cars when company vehicles have been in for servicing - courtesy cars come with little fuel in them and anyone using them will only put the absolute mininum of fuel in to cover the mileage they do.

It will likely be full when you get it and they would want it returned full.

Of course they will not pay for your petrol for the period it is being used - why should they??

Providing you are claiming the expense via receipts then yes.

Hello

You can insist it is not supplied empty but after that the reasoning is that you would have to buy petrol for your own car so why would you expect them to pay for it.
You then return it with similar amount when you return it.
That is why Hire car companies dip the tank when you pick the car up and when you return it.

Why would gasoline be free? I suspect that it's your responsibility to pay for the fuel that you use.
