VW Courtesy Car

[Rich]

Take my car in tommorrow at 8am for a service...

They wont let me have a courtesy car because im not 21 

Can you get around this if you speak with the manager or with the Salesman who i bought the car from ???

Please help

[mortygttdi]

tell them if you take it to Skoda they will give you a courtesy car for free!! If they refuse take your custom somewhere else...you can get your car serviced any where and they'll stamp your book.

What dealer is this? Not Huddersfield Vw as they are crap for loan cars try lightcliffe Vw or tell them the other dealers said that u can have a car so what u playing at

[v2brett]

prob be a part of there insurance deal i should think mate,   when i used Vw @ Doncaster i ended up with a beetle    

could try asking again tomoz but they`ll prob tell you the same and all the courtesy cars will prob be booked upaswell.  

[Rich]

Yes, VW Hudds,

Grrr... i'll persist at them tommorrow

It will be there insurance comany rich. It's just easier for them and cheaper to not insure people under 21.

My local dealer said as long as im covered by my own insurance to drive courtesy cars its all good, if i wasnt i could pay something like £12 for the day, they never give me anything like a GTi, iv had a touran and a beetle last two times. I secretly enjoyed the beetle

Doesn't matter what you say mate as they won't let someone out in their car uninsured.

When I was younger and had an Ibiza I got caught out by the same thing, but luckily the salesman overheard and booked me in for a 24 hour test drive on a SEAT Arosa.  I think that insurance was underwritten by SEAT while the rest of the dealership runs off a seperate policy.

I know you'll probably end up with a 1.2 Fox but its gotta be worth a try

i got a brand new golf 1.4 when mine went back in to vw hudds, but gotta say they are the worst dealership i have ever dealt with. they still haven't sorted everything on the car that they said they was gonna do when i got the car back in august.

Just had a service at White Rose VW Crosshills and i got a 1.4s mk6 golf, i was actually very impressed!

I remember taking my saxo to citroen at 18 for a service and i had to add the courtesy car to my own policy for the day.

I'd go elsewhere to be honest if I were you - but I'd make a point of it with an audience I kicked off big style in Leeds VW once and then other customers who heard me joined in agreeing at how 'sheet' they are.. was very amusing.

Anyway I think they can give you a courtesy car if you use your own insurance (just take your docs etc in)

It seems these days like it's a 'privilege' to be able to get a courtesy car.. it never used to be difficult - I mean if you don't book a month in advance there are never any available anyway!
/end rant

Rich, go to wakefield VW. It's so much better. Huddersfield are awful and should be shut down!

Your only going to get a basic polo anyway.. When I challenged my dealer on like for like,all she said was it was,nt fair on some granny getting a GTI as a loaner...

Sounds really mature that

I've always been more than happy with the service Huddersfield VW has given me. The policy of not giving under 21 year olds courtesy cars obviously exists for a reason, and yes I can imagine it could be inconvenient.

Regarding the point about a courtesy car being a 'privilege', well that's exactly what it is. Look the word courtesy up in a dictionary. Why exactly should a dealership supply a courtesy car to every Tom, Dick and Harry who is having a little bit of work done on their car?
