Gold Key Courtesy Transportation
One of your Cadillac Owner Privileges is Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation. It is just one more example of
Cadillac’s commitment to provide the services you
expect and deserve as a Catera owner.
Gold Key Courtesy Transportation helps you get where
you need to be when your Catera is in the dealership for
warranty service.*
In Canada, please consult your GM dealer for
information on Courtesy Transportation.
Transportation Options*
Warranty work can frequently be handled in one day,
but there is often no reason for you to wait at the
dealership. Cadillac helps minimize inconvenience
to you by providing several transportation options.
Depending on the circumstances, your dealership
can offer you one of the following options:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Shuttle Service*
Your dealership can provide you with shuttle service to
get you to your destination with minimal interruption of
your daily schedule when your Catera is unavailable due
to a warranty repair.
Courtesy Vehicle*
For repairs that require your vehicle to be unavailable to
you for an extended period of time, your dealer may
arrange to provide you with a courtesy vehicle from the
dealership, or one obtained from a local rental agency.
Miscellaneous Service*
Should the situation necessitate making your own
arrangements, Gold Key Courtesy Transportation
provides for reimbursement of personally arranged transportation
such as cab fare, reasonable
fuel expenses
for a ride provided by another individual or a rental
vehicle obtained from
an independent source.
*Some restrictions may apply. Please consult your
Catera dealer concerning specific Gold Key Courtesy
Transportation benefits oJjcered
by the dealership.
Plan Ahead When Possible
Whenever possible, scheduling an appointment for your
vehicle’s warranty service and advising your service
consultant that you wish to take advantage of Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation can help minimize your
inconvenience by allowing your dealer
to prepare
arrangements to fulfill your transportation needs in
advance of your visit.
