I was offered a warranty from warrant direct for that kind of money and said no thank you. They came back to me and offered me a £80 or £90 deal I think it was. It covers me for everything the main warranty does.. BUT, the car has to breakdown. With a normal warranty if a warning light or whatever happens you can take it to a dealer and get it fixed. With my warranty if the car breaks down and i cant continue my journey I have to call out the rescue services and get it towed to the dealer, then I am covered. I thought it would be good insurance against a gearbox failure, engine fault or major meltdown.. It's worth considering anyway. Previously..

From a purely mathematical perspective, you would need to make a claim around £2k for that to be economically viable.

I took a Warranty Direct warranty out as much as I love my Range Rover and have had them since college, I do not have the confidence that their build quality is that brilliant. Not to mention labour bills for some things like alternator changes or turbo changes etc. Anyway, a couple of friends thought I was crazy taking out a warranty but at 60 0dd thousand miles the rear diff failed and the warranty paid up no quibbling. I think it is quiet expensive but with gearbox failure talk alone I think it is worth it. |

I've got an add-on on my AA coverage - it's about a fiver a month, and in the event that you break down and need recovery, they will pay the first £500 of any garage bill. I know that won't cover the big things, but it covers any car (or motorbike) I am in (or wife) - and £500 is always a help and I don't even notice the fiver a month. |

Have a lite policy with warranty Direct. You have to break down to get a payout but to be fair they have just payed out for half my gearbox repair. However I did have to jump through hoops to get it and it took a month. Not bad for less than £100 Mine was a blue one! |
