I went to the dealership today to get the car serviced for its 5,000 mile check-up and told them I would need a loaner. I get there and about 15 minutes into the appointment he asks for my license and insurance. He then goes Oooaahh... I was like crap what now. You have to be 21 to get a Loaner... sorry...
WTF!! If you can buy a car at 16 why the hell cant you get a frikin loaner??!! It really pissed me off! Just venting I guess... but I mean im 18 it at least be 18?? Come on!! Anyways... just wanted to share incase there are any other under 21's out there thinking they'll be getting a loaner when they go in for service....

Not all places let you rent a car when you're 21, and even then you get charged a daily fee for being under 25. At 25 you can rent wherever.
BMW said something like that to my GF. Had she been 25, she could've had a new 6-series as a loaner (or something silly like that). Instead, they gave her a crummy Enterprise rent-a-car.

OP... not trying to be a jackass, but did YOU buy the car, or your parents? Is the car even in your name? Do you have your own insurance, or are you on your parents?
The perks of buying a luxury car are the nice benefits like getting a loaner. I guess they just expect everyone who can buy a $32-$40K car is over 21.
I'd expect that too.

my dealership has a 2 hour rule about a loaner. but if you make a stink about it and dont mind waiting an extra week or so...they'll get you in a loaner.
i'm bringing in my car tonight to get the squeaky seat fixed and they're giving me a loaner. i told them that i cant miss a few hours work to wait for a car and that i'm an hour from the dealership. i waited an extra week and the service manager got me a loaner.

Son, welcome to the real world where business liabilities have real consequences. I think the younger set has been marketed to so much that they feel the business world will do anything to get their business. That is true only to the extent that the business relationship is a win-win for both parties. In this case they don't want to take on the liability (insurance and otherwise) of a young driver who is more apt to get into an accident in a strange car. It's their call. That's just the way it is.

Which Lexus dealer did you go to? I'm 23 now but when I bought my IS300 at 19 the dealership wouldn't give me a LEXUS as a loaner, however they do have Toyota Camry's for the younger people. Trust me I feel your frustration, I was irate, I had my dad go a ***** to see if he could get me one. It didn't work, basically our insurance covers the loaner, but the dealer's insurance picks up what ours will not cover
.. Anyhow it was like that until I turned 21. Now with tha 350 and being over 21 they will give me a LEXUS loaner anytime I bring the car in for anything, unless they have tons of service appointments requiring a loaner.. This is Sewell of Fort Worth if your close by check them out, at least you'll get a car
