Local dealer in Austin doesn't even have "loaners" per se, just a crappy little Enterprise rental desk in an adjacent building and they cough up the bulk of the rental costs. Last time out (20K service) I got a Jetta. While I wouldn't really consider the Jetta to be a suitable loaner, the worst of it is having to go through the whole rental annoyance -- declining the ten different kinds of supplemental insurance and all the silly fuel level games that rental companies play. It's a real blemish on what has otherwise been a great ownership experience for me.
It's the only time I miss my BMW. I'd be curious what Houston dealerships offer reasonable loaners. I'll just start getting my service done there when I'm in town.

Boxsters or Caymans, provided I make a reservation in advance. Pretty sweet.
I am also in the Bay Area. May I ask which dealer and service adviser you use?

Nissan Sentra
Dodge Caliber
or what else is there at the Enterprise at the dealership. It really makes me appreciate my 997 more when I get it back.
My friend did get C-class loaner at another dealership.

My dealer ( Princeton Porsche in N.J. ) offers several free choices whenever the car needs service
1. Loaner car. Usually a Cayenne, but with a few days notice , a Boxter or Cayman
2. Flatbed pick up and return delivery from my house
3. Valet driver service to office or home

sometimes i get a Cayman, sometimes a Cayman S and sometimes a VW Jetta. I once got a Pontiac grand Prix back when I had my 996 in for service. that GP was horrid. It was also bigger than our BMW X5 SUV. I swear. It barely fit in my garage.
