Vehicle Loaner Policy
Vehicle Loaner Policy
We know being without your vehicle is an inconvenience. Here’s how our loaner vehicle program works while your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram is in for service.
Eligibility requirements
To be issued a loaner vehicle, you’ll need to bring:
- A valid driver’s license — all drivers must be at least 25 years old
- Proof of current, full-coverage auto insurance in your name
- A credit or debit card to place on file for the duration of the loan with a $200 authorization hold
- Your vehicle must be in for [a qualifying warranty or recall repair / any service performed at our dealership]
When a loaner is provided
Loaner vehicles are offered as a courtesy while we complete certain repairs, based on availability:
- Ask your Service Advisor about qualifying services and availability.
- Not guaranteed for routine maintenance, such as oil changes or tire rotations.
Loaners are limited in number and offered [first-come, first-served / by reservation only] — we recommend requesting one when you book your appointment.
Cost & deposit
A refundable deposit of $200 is authorized on your card at drop-off and released once the loaner is returned in its original condition.
Loaner vehicle terms of use
- Return the loaner with the same fuel level it had at pickup — a refueling charge of [$XX] applies otherwise
- Mileage is limited to [XXX miles per day]; additional miles are billed at [$X.XX/mile]
- Smoking is not permitted in any loaner vehicle
- Pets must be secured in a carrier
- Loaners are intended for local use [within XX miles of the dealership] — let your Service Advisor know if you need to travel further
Damage, violations & liability
You’re responsible for the loaner vehicle for as long as it’s in your possession, including:
- Any damage beyond normal wear and tear — your insurance deductible of [$XXX] may apply
- Traffic citations, tolls, or impound fees incurred while driving the loaner
- Reporting any accident or mechanical issue to us immediately at [Service Dept. phone number]
How to request a loaner
Mention you’d like a loaner when you schedule service online or by phone.
Bring your license, insurance card, and a credit card at drop-off.
Your Service Advisor confirms availability and has you sign a short loaner agreement.
Return the loaner by close of business the day your vehicle is ready (6:00 PM Mon–Fri, 4:30 PM Sat).
