Driving licence check for company cars and pool vehicles

Whether care service, field sales or customer service: as soon as employees drive company cars, the company is responsible as keeper. FleetCred makes the check simple for everyone, including part-time staff and temporary workers who only occasionally take a car from the pool.

Typical cases

  • Outpatient care and social services: many employees, part-time staff, temporary workers, students, often changing vehicles
  • Field service and sales: company cars with private use, drivers rarely in the office
  • Customer service and servicing: vans and cars, driving licence with trailer
  • Administration: pool vehicles for business trips

How simple the check becomes

  1. 1

    Import employees

    Upload a list from Excel or add them one by one, with a cost centre for location or team.

  2. 2

    Send the link

    By email, SMS or WhatsApp. Employees photograph the driving licence whenever it suits them.

  3. 3

    Approve

    You see the photo and the recognised data and approve. FleetCred keeps track of deadlines and upcoming checks.

Tip for your company car policy

State in the company car or pool vehicle policy that employees must report a driving ban or the withdrawal of their driving licence immediately. This is exactly the occasion on which, under the draft law, a new check is required. In FleetCred, you then request a check with one click.

Frequently asked questions

Do I also have to check when the company car is used privately?

Yes. The company remains the keeper, and it permits the employee to drive, whether on business or privately.

How often for pool vehicles?

Every driver before first use. After that at the usual interval or when prompted. With a very large number of changing drivers, some data protection experts also consider a check at every issue to be justifiable.
