Getting a loaner car when your vehicle is in the shop depends on many factors, including:
Some automakers, such as Infiniti and Lexus, offer loaner cars for any repairs that are going to take a lengthier amount of time.
Some dealers may also have policies that extend a loaner car to you, often known as a courtesy car.
And of course, remember to stay in good standing with your dealership of choice by following the guidelines outlined in your rental car agreement. For example, if your agreement states you can’t cross state lines with your rental vehicle, don’t do it—or you could be on the hook for expensive damages if you ended up in an accident.
