My feelings on this type of activity is assume you get the car back with noticeable damage, a dent, rip in fabric, etc.

If a dent in the quarter panel would bother you then don’t loan it out.

I once let my best friend borrow my 944 when he was getting his SL painted. He was a car guy. I got the car back with one of the knobs for the electric seat completely broken off. The seat had to be removed, partially disassembled and a new switch installed. It took 3 hours and $100 to get the car back to the original state.

Worst part, he never even mentioned the switch was broken.

In fact, I once loaned out an expensive stroller to get it back completely broken. Later I saw photos of my sister in law with two of her kids sitting in the stroller. The two kids weighed Well above the manufacturer weight rating. I received the stroller back broken with no mention of the damage.

Personally, I wouldn’t loan anything out that I cared about.
