Peace of mind with Lexus Reserve
Lexus Reserve is a new programme – the first of its kind on the market – which offers owners of Lexus electric vehicles (RZ 300e, RZ 450e and UX 300e) 42 days’ complimentary use of an additional Lexus hybrid vehicle over a three-year period. It’s designed to provide convenience and peace of mind, primarily for people planning a long journey such as a European road trip in areas with a limited charging infrastructure.
Organising the loan vehicle is simple. Once the customer has planned their journey, they contact Lexus UK to request a car for their chosen dates. True to the best principles of Lexus’s market-leading customer service, the hybrid vehicle – a used car – will be delivered to and collected from the customer’s chosen location. The car may be taken overseas, and there are no mileage limitations*.
The programme is available to retail customers who purchase their new or used electric vehicle (cash or finance agreement) from the Lexus centre network.
