Other ways to qualify for a replacement car, automobile clubs and manufacturers

In previous articles we have referred to various aspects related to the replacement car . We talked about the conditions and time limits that require us to engage the policy with an insurance company, but insurers are not the only way to qualify for this service: the associations of individual drivers or auto manufacturers tend to offer a car substitution in certain cases.
 
Anyway, as we have already warned in the past, prior to additional hiring should make a reflection of how we are going to be profitable. We evaluate the use we give to our car if we do many miles, if we use it specifically for the performance of our duties, etc, because according to what type of driver let us out much more profitable to rent a car in a timely manner if we can not have ours, and today there are companies hire flights that do not involve a significant outlay at all.
 
The Royal Automobile Club of Spain (RACE), the Royal Automobile Club of Catalunya (RACC) and the European Car (CEA) offer courtesy cars to its members in case of need, but choose a replacement car for this track has its limitations, since it generally provide for a short period of time and then must be associated with the taking over of expenditure. In addition, it is often a necessary condition that the beneficiary of the service car repair workshop in the club network to which it belongs.
 
Besides, partnerships allow us to hire separate policies. For example, the RACE insurance provides replacement vehicle in two types of contracts: in case of accident or theft, or accident, theft and damage. The first extension includes a legal defense to that of the already available for car insurance, second expert opinion in case of disagreement and defense disputes with other insurance policies in case of disaster. The second category also includes the damage to a case of insolvency of guilty and the claim contrary to the repair shop where the vehicle defective.
 
For its part, the CEA offers a replacement car for a limited time at an exclusive price for members in case your vehicle breaks down, is in the workshop, or take to deliver the new vehicle at the dealership. The CEA offers unlimited mileage, including positions as an additional driver or young driver, the car has no collision or theft excess and can be returned to another base in Spain different from the collection.
 
But even a replacement car can also come through the dealership where we bought our car, because some brands of cars offer this service if the newly acquired vehicle is a fault which is covered by the warranty contract, which runs for two years after purchase.
 
However, this service also is subject to limitations. Some brands limit it for days, others only cover you if you happen during the trip, if the repair takes longer than 24 hours, etc. It is necessary to note that this is a service that is not regulated by law, so each manufacturer applies its own terms.
