My car is getting a new transmission put in sometime at the end of this week(imagine that uh).. but the dealership told me they cannot give me a loaner car b/c i'm not 25 or older.. has anyone here got a loaner car under the age of 25?? they said its a company policy but i think its bullshit..

 

Probably an insurance thing.

 

That's bullshit, I'm 22 and I've gotten a loaner from my dealer. We're long time customers there so maybe that had something to do with it. All I did was give him a copy of my license, fill out the form, and I got an RSX.

 

This is something new in the past few months that has come up. I recently experienced the same problem and they didn't confirm any reason other than they read their insurance policy. They might have a deal with enterprise that will allow them to give you a loaner car. I was given a car from enterprise at the dealerships expense.

I used to get loaner cars all the time, tsx, 04 TL, rsx, 03 TL, but now they changed it. Last time I got a truck, something I don't care to drive, but it worked.

 

Unfortunatley, it may be company policy. But, that does not mean that you just agree with them-fight them, cause you deserve it.
For instance, I had a si that had something screwy with the airbag control or whatever, it was a couple of years ago, and the stealership would not give me loaner because I was only 17 at the time. However, after "talking" to the service manager, I finally got a loaner.

Just remember, almost everything in life is negotiable.

 

i'm 23 and I got a loaner when i had mine in for service.

 

Wonder if it had anything to do with this: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143376

 

yeah.. it must be something new.. the tranny just came in and they scheduled me to be in a 8 in the morning on friday.. hopefully i can talk to them and get me a rental.. i just find it unfare that i cannot get a loaner when its MY car, not my parents or anything like that.. just sorta pisses me off since its my only means of transportation!

 

at PAA I know they give them out to people 21 or older, however I'm 19 so I dont get one either way
