Default Anyone else's dealer stop using rentals for loaners?

My dealer finally said that due to rate increases, they had to stop using Enterprise for loaner cards. I think this is great, because now when I need a loaner for a day I won't get stuck in a frickin' old POS rental car. They had the worst cars there too. Enterprise just had a bunch of cars at the dealer, so they were ooold and beaten. Finally, I'll get what I expected all along...an Audi from the Audi dealer. Of course now you have to book one way ahead of time.

Default If only Champoin would do the same.

One of the biggest volume dealers in South Florida I believe, and they don't give loaners to anybody who didn't buy a Porsche or an A8 from them.

Default We still get enterprise rentals, but they have some A4's comin!!

The enterprise at my dealer said they got a lot of customer complaints, so were getting Audis and VW's to loan out. The grade of cars are getting better. The first time my car was in, I got a Saturn, and it SUCKED. Then I got a focus, a little better than the Saturn, but still sucked. The last time I got a Jeep Grand Cherokee, this was much better. The dude told me that The A4's should be in in a few weeks. Don't know what other Audis they will be getting.

Beats the hell out of the Daiwoos. At least the Beetles run well and feel safe...

My dealer has Enterprise, but Enterprise has some A4s for rentals.
