well that’s how companies should be, no? they call you in for a work event, they should be covering expenses like my time, travel and expenses incurred. isn’t this normal?

no trains go there or planes unless I find some dude that owns a plane. I don’t mind the drive personally, it very scenic and I love music so that keeps me going easily

yeah major city. tons of options. enterprise was their chosen company.
might very well be nepotism, just such an odd decision to take on the risk of renting a car vs having me use my own.

I don’t know about the rental.
my personal car I end up doing 4.3L/100km so about 54Mpg. Like, I doubt it’ll get much cheaper unless it’s electric.
they do cover fuel, kms, and my time spent on the road.
I’m sure it’s a monetary thing but I can’t help but think it’ll be the same, if not more expensive renting.

lol, it’s a Christmas party for work. no clients will see my 2 year old car.
I just find it odd they would add complexity to the 7 hour drive with having to pickup/dropoff, potential upselling, car not available, magical damage the rental company might claim post dropoff.
vs me just driving my own car which I’ve done the last 5 years.
I can’t find and valid reason for it. I doubt it’s even cheaper. oh well…

no, my work is 7 hours from my residence. I drive to the office for the Christmas party.
this year, they are renting me a car instead of my driving my own car.
I would never question safe transport after a party
