Different dealers have different policies on providing loaners cars while your vehicle is in for service, likely dictated by the dealerships' own insurance policy. Why not call the one that you are planning to use and ask?

typically loaners and rentals age is 25, but as stated it is dealer dependent.. you may have to have your parents get and drive the loaner and use one of their vehicles..

I know the dealer I use is very particular, have to be over 25 and the vehicle owner is the only allowed driver on the loaner, as my wife's name is not on my vehicle title she isn't allowed to drive the loaner and it specifically states this..

I think it depends on state law and how much the dealer complies with such. I wasn't able to get a rental at both a Toyota and a Lexus dealership when I did my recall and service because I was under 21. You could always get someone over the age limit to bring it for you though if you really need it.

My first time getting an appointment scheduled and I got a loaner ES350, second time they told me I had to be over 25. Just recently my mom was denied a loaner at a Mercedes Benz dealership because "the car didn't come from them" since the other dealership was busy with appointments for a month. I think it really depends on the service advisor...
