If the company is providing free conveyance facility then no tranport allowance would be exempted under Rule 2BB. But if the valuation of the car is added in the salary then the exemption should be available to the extent of Rs. 800.00 because proviso to Rule 2BB states that free conveyance is not provided by the employer.
