lisäkuljettajat

Lisäkuljettajat, meaning "additional drivers" in Finnish, refers to individuals who are authorized to drive a vehicle in addition to the primary registered driver. This arrangement is common in both private and commercial contexts. In private vehicle ownership, a lisäkuljettaja might be a spouse, partner, or family member who regularly uses the car. For commercial vehicles, such as company cars or fleet vehicles, lisäkuljettajat are often employees who operate the vehicle as part of their job duties.

The authorization of a lisäkuljettaja typically involves being named on the vehicle's insurance policy. This ensures that the additional driver is covered in case of an accident. In some cases, particularly with rental vehicles or short-term arrangements, a temporary lisäkuljettaja might be added to the rental agreement. The responsibilities and permissions granted to a lisäkuljettaja are generally determined by the owner or primary authorized user of the vehicle, as well as the terms of any insurance or leasing agreements. It is important for both the vehicle owner and the lisäkuljettaja to understand the scope of their authorization and the associated liabilities.
