Nope never pay for loan car ,and dealer put's it on their insurance ,and most of the time has fuel in it .and not always a MINI.
The cars in front are New MINI Scotland
Got to say Eastern are always great with their courtesy cars. Perhaps I get it lucky.
Over the last couple years I think I have had
525d M sport for 1 week and only paid 1 day insurance
325d Tourer
320i Coupe Convertible
120D M Sport
118i Convertible
and when the JCW first came out they let me have it for the day when my 130i was in for something.
The £10 charge is an annoyance, especially if the car is in for warranty work!
My insurer LV, provide cover for any car loaned to me by a motor trader, you don't even need to call them.
Peter Vardy gave me a car (they offered me an X3, but I took an Astra in preference) and I used my insurance.
Eastern, I think, insist that you take their insurance now. Last time I put my cat in there, they gave me a Z4. Was nice to try but I did not like it much. It was raining and it had very little road holding - been a long time since I drove a RWD car.
Funny that my Toyota dealer is part of the same group and they have not charged anything anytime I put the Aygo in for service or warranty work.
I'm putting my car in for some warranty work soon don't think I'll bother with a coutesy car if you have to pay for it.
Going to use Eastern but wanted to wait until they have settled in to their new home for a wee bit going to ask for the week 24th August as I am away on me hols. What is the lead time from phoning to getting your car booked in anyone know.?
Cooper Coupe...
I had to wait 3 weeks for a loan car - not sure about just putting it in without wanting a car. Can't see it being more than about 3-4 days
