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

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?

Have you collected the car yet OP?

Lesson to be learnt here!

I really hope she hasn't; one damaged yours or two gone to do the NC500 in yours as she didn't wanna put the miles on hers.

The HP repo was an interesting theory, as was the NC500.

Does her place of work have a staff car park? I'd be going to her place of work to see if your car is in their car park.

Are you really driving around in a car that's full of "stuff". Where do your children sit when you take them out?

I'd have got my car back before now, but as a minimum, I'd have gone to her home and emptied her "stuff" into her garden.
