Do most agencies give you a car for visits?

Just wondering.

There is only one agency in my area that does and that is dependent upon how far the nurse has to travel for the day and the car is not take home. Most agencies in my area do provide mileage reimbursement but amount depends on agency. 

You can always call and ask the agency directly if they provide a vehicle for staff.

I worked for an agency that at one time leased a bunch of vehicles and required us all to drive one of them, even take it home at night. The nice thing was that they provided oil changes etc. The bad thing was that even though we had to record mileage, we didn't get paid for it. I think it was for 2 years. (This was at the time the agency was getting too big for its britches, but anyway.) I didn't like mine, it was a white Ford Escort and got dirty frequently because I was always out in the country, but it saved me from messing up my car. I am in the habit of naming my cars so called this one "Ancilla" (Handmaiden). When the lease ran out I told the director I would resume driving my own car. That way I got paid mileage.

None of the agency's I'm aware of in Philadelphia PA area provide a car.
