Rent a BMW loaner? Is it possible?

M3maniac20 · 12-12-2010, 01:04 PM

Sorry for having so many threads but I want as much info as I can get before I have my car.

I have an issue though...
Sold my car a while back and things didn't work out with the M3, but I'm lucky enough now to have been able to reorder it and it should be here in mid Jan.
I've been driving a friends car in the mean time, and they are going to need it back soon. So I will be a month without a car...impossible.

I don't want to rent a car from enterprise etc, because it will be incredibly expensive. Then I thought...they give out BMW loaners for free to BMW owners, and what if made them an offer for to drive one until my car comes?
Has anyone ever tried this? Any luck? Or if not, does anyone know a rental car company that has pretty good long-term rates?
Thanks

Oh that would be nice. But I think the dealer won't budge as your car hasn't taken delivery yet and it's not in for service; hence the service loaner.

I've rented from enterprise long term...I think a focus for cheap

Did you check the rates on rental car companies? When it comes to week/month long terms, the rates are different.
