Government Car Service

This was an executive agency of the Department for Transport, responsible for providing logistics services to the United Kingdom government and wider public sector.

The Government Car and Despatch Agency (GCDA) was formed in 1997, when Security Facilities Executive was reformed.

The GCDA closed on Sunday 30 September 2012 following discontinuation of its despatch services earlier in the year.

The GCS provided secure cars and drivers to government ministers[2] and ran other people-movement services for the wider public sector.

The GCS is responsible for the Prime Ministerial Car, which is stored and maintained at 10 Downing Street, and staffed by the Metropolitan Police.
