Car in for warranty repair - should I have to pay for a courtesy car?

Can you tell me if I should be forced to pay for a courtesy car? My 2011 Renault Megane has suffered head gasket problems and it’s going to be off the road for weeks. Renault have agreed to fix it under warranty, but are demanding a £10 charge for insurance for the courtesy car on the first day and £5 each day thereafter. Is this correct? Surely the insurance should be covered as part of the warranty.

Depends how old you are. If under 25 or over 75 then the dealer's insurers would demand an extra premium.
