Why Grey Fleet Could Be Your Greatest Compliance Gap
Grey fleet vehicles – personal cars used for business travel – are one of the biggest hidden compliance risks for organisations. Although these vehicles don’t appear on the company fleet list, employers are still legally responsible for ensuring they are roadworthy, properly insured for business use, and driven by competent, licensed employees. With millions of grey fleet vehicles in the UK and many lacking adequate checks, training, or maintenance, businesses face significant legal and financial exposure. Effective grey fleet management requires clear standards, enforced checks, proper driver training, and ongoing documentation to meet duty-of-care obligations and avoid serious consequences in the event of an incident.
