What's up everybody?
Anyway, my car has to go in for the recalls, an oil change, and a few other things. They tell me they need my car at least 1 full day, which leaves me without a car. Here is the situation, I am 21, from NJ, and MY Mazda dealership only loans through enterprise. Enterprise do not rent to anyone under the age of 25. Is there any other way I can get a car for a day through Mazda. I was thinking about calling MNAO and asking them why they don't loan out cars when Customers cars are needed for mandatory service?

Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

 

Um.. they do put out loaner cars.. maybe yer dealership just sucks.... find another close one...

they shouldn't need it that long either.. it takes just a few hours...

 

From the MAZDA USA web site, key words being " Program is subject to dealer participation and availability"

"While we strive to make every Mazda service department waiting room as pleasant as possible, we’re aware that there's probably some place you’d rather be. That's why we created the Mazda Service Transportation Solution, where participating Mazda dealerships provide loaner cars at no charge to you while your vehicle is having warranty work performed.
Every 2001 - 2005 Mazda comes with the Mazda Service Transportation Solution for the duration of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Program is subject to dealer participation and availability; ask your dealer for complete details."

 

Ask to take a Miata for a test drive. :D

I know some Honda dealers let you take a car for a day or two, using the "puppy" theory: If they take it home they'll keep it.

The other option is to tell the dealer they need to drop you off and pick you up.

 

you can usually get a car from enterprise being under 25 but they will charge you extra for it. If you really need a loaner and not just dropped off this may be an option. You can always ask your dealer if there is anything they can do to help, my dealer sends everyone to enterprise or hertz.

 

my dealer gave me a rental from dollar, they dont give loaner cars.

funny thing, the dollar rental store has red auto rx8s avalible for rent, but the dealer only gave me a mitsu lancer es.

I noticed the auto rx8s they have are fully loaded GT, sat nav and everything, but the DSC button was 'missing'. good idea on their part to take the button out so you cant crash.

 

ohh and about the car, do you have a parent or sibling they can rent the car to, and then you borrow their car while they use the rental??

 

bitch at the dealer. have them find a rental for you or tell them they are reimbursing your limo service.

 

Thanks for the input guys!
