Didnā€™t gripe too much as it was a two day turn around; but got stuck with the dirtiest smoked out Equinox they had on their lot. Was a terrible machine. Car play blows on itā€¦ I got stuck in it an extra day and almost turned it back in early until they called me on Friday that my truck was ready before the weekendā€¦ So glad to have my R1T back! Literally love everything about it over that vehicleā€¦ The only nod it got was easier to park in the garageā€¦ Honestly if Rivian will integrate voice to text and Waze Iā€™d have no complaintsā€¦ And CarPlay can go have every other manufacturerā€¦

On my recent service visit. Was referred to enterprise offered a 2015 Nissan frontier or a 2022 GMC Yukon Denali. I am pretty sure the truck was just placed there as a terrible second option so every customer goes with the rental agents first offer. I asked if any of the luxury mid sized SUVā€™s (Audi Q5 / Benz GLE) could be option and was told not with the Rivian agreement. The Denali is plenty nice just a massive vehicle and to be imagined a gas guzzler.

You're lucky. They won't ever give me a GMC. Never been offered anything that wasn't a Stellantis or Nissan product.

At first I was told I would have a Rivian loaner, then told it would be an EV (Polestar) from enterprise, then I got a Chrysler minivan with 35k, it felt like it might fall over in the corners, and it seemed like something from the 90s or early 2000s. It was a 2021!

2nd service visit they gave me a R1S. I did ask ahead of time since we have one on preorder and didn't want to test drive in Portland

Three times it was just 1-3 days and I got an R1T. Last time was a week and I got an Audi Q5 from Enterprise. One surprise was the toll bill and extra fees for having toll charges from Enterprise a couple of weeks later. With the R1T the toll charges were covered. I have toll charges going to/from the service center.

I asked for an R1T loaner and was told I would have one ready when the R1S was brought in for service. I ended up with a three year old Hyundai Palisade from Enterprise that made anyone who rode in it get a sore throat.

Hi all, just dropped off my T to the shop and they did not have a loaner, so I got a rental through enterprise. I ended up with a Kona, as that was the EV option they had, but itā€™s just not cutting it. What kind of rental vehicles have you gotten when your truck has been in the shop? (at least the Konaā€™s charging pad does work though)
"... so I got a rental through enterprise. "
I hope that Enterprise is not the only option. I have had some bad experiences with that company. I think Enterprise owns Alamo and National, now, which further restricts the options (if there are any).

Almost had my truck in for a paint issue on delivery but just bought a touch up pen and took care of it myself. They asked about me needing a loaner and had told them I didnā€™t care what it was as long as I had transportation .

Never understood people complaining about the type of loaner they get. Wheels are wheels.
" Wheels are wheels."
Huh? If "wheels are wheels," why did you pay for a Rivian?

I had a loaner for 2 weeks last year, since then i've had a jeep renegade for a week last fall, a Nissan Armada in December which I swapped for a Ridgeline, and most recently a Ram 1500 which I had to swap for a Ford Edge, then when my R1T wasn't done in time had to go back and get another Ram 1500. Usually get whatever I need as rideshare is unreliable in my area.

I was given Uber credits.
