When an eligible vehicle is unavailable due to overnight repairs, a rental vehiclemay be provided.

If the vehicle cannotbe scheduled in the service department, is still operative and safe to drive, thecustomer should be encouraged to drive the vehicle. Scheduling service visits latein the afternoon orimmediately prior to a weekend or holiday, when service will not be performed untilthe next working day, does not constitute an overnight repair, unless the vehicleis inoperative or otherwise unsafe to operate.

Enterprise Issue Escalation Process: In the event a concern arises between the Service Agent and the local EnterpriseRent-A-Car agency on GM vehicle availability or daily rental charges, the ServiceAgent should escalate the issue with the Enterprise Area Manager (and higher if needed).If the concern is not resolved, the Service Agent should review the issue with theirGM Field Representative.
