(b) An insurance company authorized to do business in this Commonwealth shall provide to a motor vehicle dealer or an agent thereof with custody of or operating a customer's motor vehicle for the purpose of transporting, servicing, repairing or inspecting the vehicle, primary liability coverage for third-party bodily injury and primary first-party physical damage coverage in the amounts set forth in the customer's private passenger automobile insurance policy.

(c) This section shall apply only to the loan of a motor vehicle by a motor vehicle dealer that occurs without financial remuneration in the form of a fee, rental or lease charge paid directly by the insured operating the motor vehicle. Payments made by a third party to a motor vehicle dealer or similar reimbursements shall not be considered payments directly from the insured operating the motor vehicle.

The revisions shall be effective ten (10) days after filing.

(e) As used in this section, the term “motor vehicle dealer” shall have the same meaning as “dealer” as defined in section 2 of the act of December 22, 1983 (P.L. 306, No. 84),¹ known as the “Board of Vehicles Act.”
