Mind you bin there, got several T shirts at it. I've no idea how old you are Jay, but I've just retired (allegedly) but have been in your position several times.
When "offers" are made there is usually room for some negotiation, if you take the job.
If they picked you it's because they know you and your abilities and what they want from the job. You need to make it clear to them what you want from the job as well. It certainly saves them a fortune in advertising, interviewing, training etc.
The money is not always a bargaining point, but all the conditions surrounding it certainly are, in my experience.
With company cars the benefit in kind issue raises it's ugly head and taking their Co**a may not be your best option, considering the amount of miles you will be doing.
Bargaining points like, Health and Safety; small cars fare less well in M/way accidents (are they putting you in harms way?) Pay no benefit in kind and use your own vehicle, (the tax break is
40p /mile).
Agree time off levels (work life balance) in advance. It all goes to show them that you only work for them, they do not own you. There are government initiatives on the areas I've mentioned, to back you up and there may be more things you want as well.
Anyway good luck, whatever you choose to do.
