REFLECTOR: courtesy car

[Jones Nick]

Lou,

Manteo N.C. (KMQI) and Edenton N.C. (KEDE) have a courtesy van and car that I have used on multiple occasions. I fly in, ask if the vehicles are available and if they are they toss me the keys and just say fill it up when I bring it back. Great when our EAA chapter has a $100 hamburger run on weekends. Without the courtesy car, we wouldn’t visit the establishments in town and wouldn’t spend any money. I think the county realizes the benefit and supports the vehicles to help bring money into the towns.

Best regards,

Nick and Connie Jones

I fly out of Olean airport, KOLE, in New York. At the present time, we do not have a courtesy car. The airport is owned and operated by the City of Olean. Our airport support group has offered to purchase a van and donate it to the city for use as a courtesy car. The City will pay for insurance and maintenance. Though our City Attorney was reluctant to accept because of liability, it was finally agreed to. The attorney is asking for copies of agreements between the facility and the user of the car. Unfortunately, in our area most facilities do not have written agreements so I have only been able to obtain one contract. For those of you who’s airports offer courtesy cars, what do they require? If anyone would have access to a contract and could email it to me I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
