# Take NHS business miles out of private cars and into a shared pool

For NHS trusts and health boards whose community, clinical and corporate staff drive their own cars on trust business, Kerbway puts a shared pool on vehicles you own or lease, bookable across sites from one app.

Who it's for: Green Plan and sustainability leads, travel and transport managers, estates and facilities, and finance.

## What Kerbway delivers

### Business travel is in your Green Plan

Staff business travel belongs in your trust’s Green Plan. A low or zero-emission pool takes those miles out of older private cars and records the evidence as it goes.

### Fewer mileage claims to process

Every trip in a pool vehicle is one less mileage claim to submit, check and pay. Bookings are costed and allocated to the service or cost centre that made them.

### Vehicles where shifts start

Base vehicles at hospital sites, health centres and community hubs, bookable across teams, so staff can pick one up at the start of a shift without a key handover.

### Duty of care for staff who drive

Licence and ID checks are built into the app and every trip is recorded, so you rely less on private cars whose business insurance, MOT and condition you have to take on trust. [Who holds the duty of care when staff drive their own cars](https://www.kerbway.com/news/duty-of-care-staff-own-cars/).

### Reporting for your board

Miles moved off private cars, CO2 avoided, utilisation and cost per mile, ready for board papers and your next Green Plan refresh.

### Built for public procurement

Designed with public procurement in mind; we will note framework routes as we qualify for them.

- Move business miles off private cars and onto a pool staff choose to use.
- One pool, bookable across sites and services.
- Evidence for your Green Plan and board from the first booking.

## The numbers we'll prove

We instrument every deployment from day one, so these become hard numbers from the pilot:

## Frequently asked questions

Does a pool work for community staff?

It works best where staff start or pass through a base, such as a hospital site, health centre or community hub, and collect a vehicle there. For staff who drive straight from home to their first visit, the dashboard shows which journeys moved to the pool and which still need another answer.

How does the cost compare with mileage claims?

Kerbway costs every booking, so you can put the pool’s cost per mile next to what each team reimburses in mileage. Before you have that data, our [grey-fleet calculator](https://www.kerbway.com/resources/grey-fleet-cost-carbon-calculator/) gives a first estimate.

Do we need to own the vehicles?

No. Kerbway runs on vehicles your trust owns or leases, from your existing supplier or through our vehicle-supply partners. Kerbway owns none of them and never takes over your fleet.

Is Kerbway on an NHS procurement framework?

Kerbway is designed with public procurement in mind, and we will note framework routes as we qualify for them. [Talk to our team](https://www.kerbway.com/contact/) about your route in the meantime.

Can staff use the vehicles outside work?

Yes, if the trust chooses to. Pool vehicles can be opened to staff for personal use in the evenings and at weekends, with car-sharing insurance covering it, so vehicles that would otherwise sit idle earn their keep. You set who can book and when.
