I'm driving a company SUV, a V6 2005 Ford Escape.
Most of the fleet is parked at one of the offices; if you're going into the field you take one instead of your personal vehicle.
I ran into some transportation problems a couple months ago and requested to use one personally for a short period. When I didn't need it anymore, I was told I could keep it as a perk. It also so happens that the field sites I frequently visit are closer to my home than the office and in the opposite direction, so it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to drive my car to the office, pick up a truck, then drive to site. It is a reasonable expectation that some construction/field/offroading is required.
So I'm supposed to track personal usage, but I really don't use it very often or at all for non-work/school related travel. I do have to track my mileage and am paid for fuel and upkeep on a mileage basis. Prior to being told I could keep using it as long as I wanted, and for everyone else that takes the vehicles on an as-needed basis, it is just a matter of submitting fuel receipts if you had to fill up.
My wife and I have another car, so we sadly sold the extra one (which was starting to wear out anyway).
I have no idea when they are going to replace it.
