My dealer always tells me no need to pump/charge it back up so I assume they wouldn’t charge me if I return the loaner with less gas (or less charge if it was electric), but I always do anyway.

However with recent rising insurance and repair costs everywhere, I’ve been starting to decline the use of loaners and instead make good use of their free Uber/Lyft rides. Thought is when it’s my own car I can choose to make a claim and repair or not, but always have to fix or pay for theirs.

This dealer never charges fees for credit card use. But I also never buy parts through them because they mark up like crazy. A dealer much closer to me sells parts competitively but they charge 3% fees, so I do pick and choose for that.
