It is my first official car and I have received today a draft of the service car transfer agreement. The following points are not yet 100% conclusive for me: Liability for damages The employee is liable for damages to the service car, which are caused by improper treatment and are excluded as so-called operating damages from the casco insurance (e.g. engine damage due to too low oil level). Furthermore, the employee has to free the company from all liability claims The employee shall be liable in any event for damage caused by private journeys. However, the employee shall not be liable if the damage is covered by an insurance policy. r In the case of service journeys, it is only in the interests of the business that non-residents are allowed to take part. The leave of the service car or its guidance by third parties is not permitted. This applies in particular to renting or renting. On service journeys, the employee may only leave the service car to company members. Is this so ok or should one choose other formulations? Does that mean that, e.g. a friend/wife, etc., the vehicle should not even drive at short notice Or I can’t just “borrow” them like that?
