Question about negotiating a corpoarte car or auto allowance

Current job is about to require me to do more driving and less flying. I work in sales but do not have car or auto allowance in my package, my previous territory wasn't drivable.
I have 2 options, rent a car every week or expense my mileage. I'm not thrilled about either of them.
Does anyone have any experience with doing a corporate car lease? Would that be cheaper for my company than renting a car every week? Or should i try to negotiate a car allowance? What's a reasonable amount?

I'm not sure that I understand. The new company will rent a car every week for you?

If you have the choice drive your own and get them to pay you the government rate for the mileage you drive. We had this option for years before forcing everyone into a company car.
Driving your own and getting reimbursed allows you to stay out of an uncomfortable mid-priced company car, usually basic and drive your own, hopefully more comfortable model at a truly fair rate. I hate company cars :

I'd let them pay for the rental. Make friends with the branch manager near you and he/she should give you the hook-up since you're renting from them all the time. You'll always have the best vehicle, even if it isn't in your booking class.
I have to rent a car about every 2-3 weeks from the same branch and they flag my request each time...usually in an SUV or a full-size car that's loaded.

Renting a car that often is brutal. Our company did that for awhile, but was changed pretty quickly.
If you chose that route make sure you have someone you can count on to drop off and pick up,

Go for either the car allowance or getting paid mileage(if gov rate). Unless your car eats gas or is a complete money pit, you will net gain making .55/mile and the benefits of the car allowance are obvious. You don't personally gain much from renting a car every week and it's probably more expensive to your employer as well.
