Just wondering if any of you have taken out a warranty for you car from the RAC or motor warrantys direct and if you have has it been worth it...

 

I'm looking for a Z at the moment and if I bought a car 10 years or younger say a 93 car I could get a 3 year RAC warranty for 469 quid...

 

they both seem to cover plenty of stuff...each claim limit is 1500 quid...which ain't bad..

 

any comments appreciated..I want to get the Zed before christmas...ohhh what a great crimbo present :D

Bought a late 92 K-plate so that i could get a warranty.

 

The warranty was 350 quid for 12 months from warrantydirect.com

 

Your RAC quote sounds like a bargain for 3 years.

 

since I've had the car the clutch slave cylinder has been replaced and also the water pump. total cost for this lot was 450 quid the warranty paid out 310 cos they only pay 60% of the parts cos its done 90k plus miles.

 

so ive got the cost of the warranty back in 3 months. i would defo recommend getting one. also they cover the turbos which on a high miler is a big plus in my book.

 

make sure you read the smallprint though and follow the proper procedures when making a claim. they nearly didnt pay out for me cos their systems were down the day the garage phoned them, and they didnt agree to the work!! not my problem their systems were down!! they did pay out in the end though.

 

so...in answer to your question my warranty has been well worth it. but i do know some people on here don't rate them at all!!

;)

Ditto. Bought my warranty with the car - K plate - costing me £200 initially. This is for unlimited claims within the year each up to £1000 providing the car is serviced every 6 months or 6000 miles.

 

They've had my PTU and Turbos in the 4 years of ownership, but it's always handy to have. :)

 

They paid out with no issues.
