ExcelSage PayrollA short introduction, not legal or tax advice. Rules can change, so check the sources below.
Under assimilated rules for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, drivers are generally limited to 9 hours a day, 56 hours a week and 90 hours over two weeks.
Drivers under these rules need a 45-minute break after no more than 4.5 hours of driving, along with daily and weekly rest.
HMRC publishes advisory fuel rates for company cars each quarter, which finance teams may use for mileage. They were last updated on 1 September 2026.
Our courses build the purchase ledger, credit control, reconciliation, payroll and Excel skills these roles use. We can introduce sector terms, but transport management systems and driver-pay rules are usually learned in the role.
Later on: With experience, people can move into assistant accountant, commercial finance or finance analyst roles.
