Curb Rash on Loaner
Good afternoon all,
I took my IS200t in for service on some issues it has been having, and was given a 2018 IS300 for a loaner car. I was so quick to leave the house in a rush this morning for work that I brushed up against the curb of my apartment's parking lot like an idiot and did this:
I am sure many people here have gotten curb rash, but has anyone ever messed up a loaner car, or anything similar to this? I would like to know how much this is going to lighten the wallet before I return it on Monday. Needless to say, I am quite mad at myself.
Any help on what they will charge?

Just don't say anything about it. it's likely within wear and tear anyway. no way any dealer loaner is not going to be curbed up.

I doubt they will care. At some point that car will get door dings and small bumper scrapes. maybe wash that part of the tire (rinse it) so it doesn't appear too obvious that its new.

My dealer doesn’t even inspect them upon return. I accidentally got a huge scrape on my NX loaner and they didn’t notice (or care).

We rented a car in Tahoe and it snowed. There was no snow brush and the
windows were completely obscured. I took an aluminum soft drink can and
fought my way through the ice and frost. Seemed OK until the next day and
the glass was really f#$%ed up! Streaks of aluminum glaze everywhere...
Lucky for us the Rental Turn-in agent was blind or oblivious and didn't say
a word despite the glaringly abused appearance.

When you pick up the loaner, they hand you the key, walk you out just far enough to see it, point to which one is yours, and send you on your way. When you return it, you park it in the drive, walk in, give them the keys, and leave with your car.

Not sure about other dealers, but they do not do that at mine.
