Welcome to Business Car Manager

If ever there was a car for the moment, then it’s the new VW Golf. Brimful with traditional VW virtues of reliability and quality, the new Golf remains the car for everyone: classless. Its new design is hardly mould-breaking, but then that’s not very Golf. Providing good value, and stylish transport is. With prices below £13,000 it’s sure to be a hit.

We all need to cut costs, save money and get best value at the moment. As ever, we have plenty of advice to do just that – like repairing rather than replacing windscreens. A new no cost duty of care add-on with every TomTom WORK is something to help every small business manage their cars more effectively. And with new laws just introduced, it’s something we all need to manage properly. Finally, if you haven’t had a moment but fancy a chance of winning a brilliant off-road experience with Mercedes-Benz World, then click on the Safety Survey panel opposite. We want to know what you think about safety and driving on business.
