short supply.

also be eligible to request a loan car through the supplying dealer,
providing the remaining waiting time exceeds three months. The first
customers will receive loan cars on February 24

Customers who face long delivery periods for their Nissan cars are being offered vehicles on loan for free while they wait.
The
carmaker said buyers who have placed orders for the Juke, Qashqai and
Qashqai+2 models and have a waiting time of longer than three months
will be eligible for the offer.
Juke buyers can request the use of a Micra, while
those who have ordered for Qashqai and Qashqai+2 can drive around a
Note while their new car arrives.
The vehicles will be made available free of charge upon request from the supplying dealer and the scheme also includes a car insurance cover for the loan car, "subject to normal terms and conditions"
Nissan said the offer is in response to the
unprecedented demand for the new models and the first of the cars will
be loaned on February 24.
Paul Willcox, managing director of Nissan Motor
(GB), said: "Juke and Qashqai models are in huge demand at the moment
and it became apparent that the long lead times were inconveniencing
some customers. To demonstrate our customer commitment we have developed
this new, industry-leading scheme."
