OPC courtesy car
Discussion
Hi Guys
Researching my next service and was told by an OPC that if I took them up on their offer of a courtesy car, I could either pay them £25 to be put onto their insurance for the day or insure it through my own insurer, who , no doubt, will charge me an 'Admin fee'. I was under the impression that a car could only be insured once... ie by the OPC. Is this the norm with OPC's and C/Cars??
Please no obvious replies that I shouldn't use an OPC anyway!!
Many thanks
Johnny

I just paid 50 quid and that covered the insurance and they gave me a week old carrera S , lovely it was too . 50 quid all in . It would have been cheaper if I had opted for a bmw courtesy car but thought I would have a go at a 997.
Who wouldn't! Sounds like paying for a c/car is the norm....on both my insurers,
as long as the car is being serviced (and usually only once a year)
There was no charge for fully comp to cover the OPC c (as long as for no more than 2 days)
OPC did not charge me anything, just "asked" to bring it back with some petrol....
BTW,
can you get a Porsche as a CC, I got Audi's the last 2 times

Think they'll service my bicycle and let me borrow a Carrera S for £50, too? 
Hi Guys
When I used to have mine serviced at our local OPC, my insurers Norwich Union didnt charge an admin fee as long as the courtesy car wasnt in a higher group (as its simply a replacement for your car while ists being serviced) Our local OPCs give BMs, Audis, or Mercs as CCs, so deffo not in a higher group. Direct line used to charge me a fee of £15.
Oh, and NU only charge me £334 per annum fully comp for my 993 c2 (specified mieage less then 8k)
Now I use porsche specialists and he picks the car up from me and delivers back after service, so I dont bother with a CC (cos I work from home these days, the wonder of the internet!)
Hope you find this useful

I never had anything other than a Porsche when I had mine serviced, they offered me an Audi A4 S-line but changed it to a Cayenne the day before...as long as the car is being serviced (and usually only once a year)

You shouldnt have to pay anything, they asked me to pay as well and i told them where to stick it, ended up getting it for free, the last time i had my car serviced i made them arrange a taxi service for me to drop me off at home and to pick me up when they had done cost them £60 but i wouldnt expect anything less.
