Dealer charging for loaners!?

My friend just dropped his car off at our local Infiniti dealer and he said they are now charging $10 for a loaner.
Thats a bunch of BS.
Do all of your dealers charge? This is my 4th Infiniti, and they never charged for loaners in the past.

Some do and some don't. There's no reason to "call corporate", they can do what they want to.

Loaners are courtesy, not a right.

That dealer just isnt that courteous!!

I didn't pay at both Riverside Infiniti, and Monrovia Infiniti! Both were warranty work.

Two great dealers BTW!

Yeah. Fields is supposed to charge you for loaner depending completely on your insurance. I have state farm insurance and if you get into a wreck and they dont charge you the minimum of 5 dollars (10 for some insurance companies) then if you get into a wreck they said you will get all kinds of hassle and may not get coverage. They showed me a list of people they have to charge a small amount to. They charge the minimum too.

I wish we had more dealers around, but we only have one in Jacksonville. The next closest is 2 hours away in Orlando.

Thought "free loaners" were a corporate driven/reimbursed program for warranty work

yes probably it's a $10 charge but it gets reimbursed when you bring the car back with the same amount of gas.

It's simple, just like enterprise, avis, zip car... car has a full tank, bring it back a full tank.

We had gas bills of almost $10,000 per month coming out of our pocket. And don't bring the car back dented or scratched -- we see that.
