It's a perk, there if you want it for your convienence.   It's not up to the company to get you there and back!   Just like it is not up to the company to drive you home and back each and every day.   It is your choice to get to/from work.

Even airline pilots know this.   The walk to the hotel van through the airport is not part the pilot's duty day, nor is the drive to the hotel he overnights in.   It is part of his rest time (unless it is UNREASONABLY excessive).   And, the FAA has already indicated that it, as you corrected me, may exceed an hour and a half.

One hour to a quarters when it is up to you to drive it is clearly within what the FAA has defined as "reasonable"!
