Courtesy cars - Don W Brown
On taking my car in for a service I was offered a courtesy car for the duration. Sounded good but I casually asked whose insurance applied and was told it was mine. But my insurance only covers me for 3rd party on anything other than my own car, so running the courtesy car was a big risk. Is this usual and I wonder if it is generally appreciated?
Regards Don

Dear Don,

My trade insurance is third party only, so I certainly wouldn't worry.

Basically the same arrangement applies when I use my local VW main agent for servicing.
It worries me too.
