Last place I went to for immobiliser installation I had to catch a taxi back as they didn't have the insurance to lend me a bike.

Most, but not all, insurance policies allow you to ride other private bikes that do not belong to you with the owners permission and as long as the bike has a valid private insurance policy on it.
The vast majority of policies (as far as I am aware) will not allow you to ride bikes owned by commercial businesses.
And if you are taking a courtesy bike, remember it is your legal responsibility to ensure that you are suitably insured. Make sure their policy is comprehensive and check the excess.
