requirement for loaner car?
hi guys
i was wondering what is the requirement for loaner car?
Do i need my name on the insurance policy? Or it is not require? The car has insurance but my name is not on it.

I had to provide License and current Insurance Card.
I assume the insurance has to list the name of the person driving the loaner, but not sure about that. I figure they are trying to make sure that the loaner and driver are covered, not the car in for service.
Maybe just call them and ask?
Well, yeah, they are insured, but they don't actually want to use their own insurance if the need arises. They want your insurance to pay if you crash the thing.

as long as they have a car available- you get one
they are provided by th edealer- not acura- so they are eating the cost of it.
Another reason I take a box of donuts in with me- I would like a clean nice loaner please

in other states such as in new york... if you are under 25 you can rent a car no problem... but the problem is you can only rent the compact/economy cars... so I was rolling in a chevy aveo hatchback

have your parents drop the car off and get the loaner and then you can drive that....

All they needed to see was my license and I think my insurance card, or maybe just needed to know what insurance company I was with.

I have gotten loaners well before i was 21 and all they took was my insurance. The guy usually tells me not to bother filling it up either "Hey there is a full tank of gas, just make sure there is enough left that we can make it to the station to fill it up again"

I know they always take my credit card and license number. I don't think they need my insurance card. I always make an appt at least a week in advance and always get a loaner for the day. My dealer provides a shuttle to work, but it always seems no one works or lives near me, so I'm always dropped off last which sometimes takes an hour. I've had work done on a Friday twice and I was able to take the car for the weekend. They had to order parts and they wouldn't arrive until Monday morning. As long as I put the gas back in, I was free to do with it what I wanted.

At Niello Acura you have to be 25; since i'm 24 I get shuttled over to Enterprise, they cover $35/day... everything else comes out of pocket. The $35 gets you a Nissan Sentra or Focus, etc. - which in my opinion is not appropriate if I have my TL in for service, I should get a similar car, so I pay $15 out of pocket per day for a G35.
Tomorrow is day #4 for the rental. Sucks, but atleast it's fun.

In IL...bought TL at 20 and also received a loaner at 20.
Insurance does not have to be in your name...my wasn't then, still isn't now, but can still get a loaner.
Insurance follows a vehicle and not a person. Anyone driving a car is insured if they have permission to drive it. (that's why you don't let friends drive your car, if they crash, its on you and your insurance, not theirs).
I'm insured in my household, and although the vehicle is in my name, the policy has my mother as the primary. Even if I was primary, the cards would still have her name on it, because thats how the billing system name is setup. Every car in the household has her name on it.
(I work for an insurance company, the above is not illegal in anyway, just setup to have the lowest rates on each car...again because the cars are covered, not people specifically)

At my dealer in KC they only required my insurance and DL the first time I went in... I get a loaner for any work done to my car other than oil changes. Each time after the first all they asked for was a signature and what insurance carrier I have... don't even ask to see proof.
They also don't have an age limit... at least to my knowledge. I bought my car when I was 23 and my dad has an MDX that I've taken in for him when I was 21 and they gave me a car for his too.
