loaner
Borrowed while yours repairs
A loaner is something lent temporarily while your own is unavailable—typically a car from a dealership during repairs: They gave me a loaner while my truck was in the shop.
The term extends to any temporary replacement: loaner phone, loaner laptop.
Less commonly, loaner refers to the person doing the lending.
