Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Warranty work can frequently be handled in one day,
but there is often no reason for you to wait at the
dealership. Cadillac helps minimize inconvenience
to you
by providing several transportation options.
Depending on the circumstances, your dealership
can offer you one of the following options:
Your dealership can provide you with shuttle service to
get you to your destination
with minimal interruption of
your daily schedule when your Cadillac is unavailable
due to a warranty repair.
For repairs that require your vehicle
to be unavailable to
you for an extended period of time, your dealer may
arrange
to provide you with a courtesy vehicle from the
dealership, or one obtained from a local rental agency. Should the situation necessitate
making your
own
arrangements, Gold Key Courtesy Transportation
provides for reimbursement of personally arranged
transportation such as cab fare, reasonable fuel expenses
for a ride provided by another individual
or a rental
vehicle obtained from an independent source.
*Some restrictions may apply. Please consult your
Cadillac dealer concerning speclfc
Gold Key Courtesy

Whenever possible, scheduling an appointment for your
vehicle’s warranty service and advising your service
consultant that you wish
to take advantage of Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation can help minimize your
inconvenience by allowing your dealer to prepare
arrangements to
fulfill your transportation needs in
advance of your visit.

the vehicle provided. In many cases, your own auto
insurance policy may provide this coverage under
provisions
for rental car agreements. Please consult your
insurance carrier to be certain
of what’s covered.
While your dealership will cover the rental expense of
a vehicle provided under the provisions
of Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation, you are responsible for
charges incurred for such items
as fuel used, additional
insurance coverage and any taxes or fees levied by state
or local governmental agencies. It
is important that your vehicle be picked up from the
dealership promptly following the completion of your
repairs. If your vehicle is not picked up from the
dealership within a reasonable amount
of time following
notification from
the dealer, you may be responsible
for any additional rental
charges incurred as a result
of this delay.
In Canada, for warranty repairs during
the Complete
Vehicle Coverage period
in the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, interim transportation may
be available under
the Courtesy Transportation Program. Please consult
your dealer
for details.
