To not want to drive someone else’s car all week?

[BlueberryMummy]

A friend borrowed my car on Friday because she needed to go and pick up something that wouldn’t fit in her car (it would fit in her car, the only reason it wouldn’t is because her car is full of stuff) and then I had to go out before she got back and her car keys were at mine so she told me to take her keys and her car and then since then our paths haven’t crossed to swap the cars back and I’ve messaged her and called her a few times to ask if we can swap the cars back and she just keeps saying she is busy at that moment but will find time soon to swap the cars back. She’s now asking if she can keep my car until Friday as she needs to go somewhere on Friday and what she is taking won’t fit in her car again because her car is full of stuff and in return I keep her car until Friday. But I just want my car back now. My car is a 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan and her car is a 2024 Range Rover. My husband says I’m overreacting and making a mountain out of a molehill. I feel she is being funny about just giving me my car back, she could have found time already to give me my car back and she certainly could find time before Friday to give me my car back. We both have fully comp insurance on our own cars and are insured to drive other cars but we are only covered for 3rd party damage on other cars. AIBU to not want to drive someone else’s car all week and AIBU to just want my car back now?

Oh, first world problems. Stop faffing around, drive over there and get your car back. Honestly, she'd be in orbit if she tried messing me about like that. She can hire a van if she can't be arsed to clear out her car.

Tell her you need your car back today as you need to move your own stuff something has come up end of

Sorry, but this is suspicious to me. I think your car has been damaged/been in an accident.

FFS just take the kids with you. She is being unreasonable but you're not helping the situation either.

Put the kids in the car and drive over demand car back

Do you know where she works? It so go there and demand your keys back. She’s taking the piss. I hope when you get your car back she becomes an ex friend.

Go to where she works.

The third party only cover can not be relied upon. You are not insured to drive each others cars.

People keep asking why you can’t just go to her work and swap? For the love of god answer why!!!!!!

Not at work, never in when you go round....has she gone on holiday with it? Either way report it as stolen.

Extremely likely shes had an accident . Also strong likelihood she no longer lives at the address you have. Stop being such a silly moo and call the police. Or go to her work and kick up a stink in reception. They wont like that and at the very least you will get a better idea of whats happened to your car

It’s difficult to believe anyone could actually be this pathetic!

I think she may have damaged your car and is trying to buy time repairing it? Put your kids in her car and drive there tonight!

OP's making me cross 😂

She's not your friend and you need to protect yourself. Tell her you will be round to swap the car at xpm today and if she does not return your car then you will report it as stolen.

Someone couldn't be bothered to clean out their car so you leant them yours?

That is possibly the daftest thing I have ever heard.

OP just call the Police.

Take the kids with you! 🙈

This. She's taking the piss, and such people do not respect 'please' or 'no', so now you have to show her something that he has to respect.

Go to her place of work and get your car back. Simple. Never lend her anything again.

She's refusing so it's time to involve police, at least log it with 101

This.

There’s almost zero chance she owns the RR outright, surely? Most likely scenario is the bailiffs are after it.

I think the cf has damaged it, you need to go round to her work immediately and get it,this is ridiculous

Then drive over WITH the kids! She'd be in a much more difficult position to refuse to hand over your car! Be assertive.
