£12 for Coutesy Car normal?

[dayouk]

So I needed to book my first service, they said they wouldnt put on any software updates so more really just a check over and fluid check. Then they asked would I like a car I said yes as they want it for half a day they said that would be £12 how would you like to pay...

Is this normal now? From Ford, VW Ive had no problems with a free car just top up the fuel, sometimes sign an insurance form for liability. Maybe its just this dealer, for now I have said I will wait for it so will waste some time nearby whilst they do it, but seems bit daft.

With both my Citroen dealer & the previous Alfa dealer I've had to pay for courtesy car insurance. Check with your insurance company as they may give you cheaper cover.

I've never paid for a Courtesy Car yet but all the work has been under warrantee not just a service...

hmm ford just gave me a fezza for the day and didnt say anything about charges?

Peugeot never charged me before, but my insurance charged £6 to add the car on for 24hours

I had to pay £20 to add a courtesy car to my insurance for 5 days as a temporary addon, but no charge for the car itself

[THP]

I got charged £15 about a year ago for a courtesy car for a day. Can't remember what it was that I took my car in for but it would've been under warranty.
My mum gets courtesy cars from Honda and my dad from Merc for free. :-/

Meh, they tried this with me to when I had to take my car in for something they'd forgot to sort, I didn't pay it. Never got called back from them about it so assumed that was fine.

Just got one today, all free inc insurance. Can't complain with that, was a C1 though....

My dealer will charge when my car is in for servicing but not when in for warranty work.
