Business drivers spend nearly three years on the road, survey reveals

Date: 26 April 2018   |   Author: Sean Keywood

The average company car driver spends nearly three years of their working life behind the wheel, research by Skoda has found.

The survey of 1,000 drivers found that on average they spent more than two-and-a-half hours in the car each working day, equivalent to 13 hours a week or 26 days every year.

During a 40-year career, this would add up to two years and nine months on the road.

The survey found that the average distance covered by company car drivers was 235 miles a week, or nearly half a million miles over the course of a career - equivalent to driving around the Earth more than 18 times. 

Responding to the survey, nearly two-thirds of company car owners said they felt like they spent more time in their vehicle than they do sat at home on their sofa, and 52% went even further,  saying they felt they spent their life in the car.

However, 33% said that they really enjoyed driving.

Skoda's UK head of fleet Henry Williams said: "Every year we conduct research into the wants, needs and habits of our company car drivers.

"We know consumer requirements are evolving all the time so our research ensures our cars are always relevant for the driver."
