increases to 895 per year as of nov 1st.

if you pay before nov 1st it will still cost 725 for the year.

Is that for the year that the warranty is valid for (ie mine runs from May 07) or for a 12 month period from the date the payment is made ?

I payed old money for my new warranty , Hussar. It's not going to go live however, til my old warranty expires next Feb , so basically I've got about 16 months warranty on my car at the mo.

Hawving used mine a few times I personally think that is still very good value, remember it includes a very good breakdown service..

Actually that's a good point - there are cheap breakdown services and quality breakdown services, all using the same infrastructure and prioritised accordingly. I'd pay more for the better one any day.

ive had near 3 grand out of mine so far so either way ill be getting it for another year.

not sure how much that range rover would cost per day but I had it for 10 days, so that would be about a grand at least on its own.

Unfortunately. The thing that gets me isn't the fact the car's failed, it's the level of incompetence dealing with it. I wrote something up here Rather than saying that review's the AA in general, it's probably the cheap bit of an AA deal (came included with a Honda) as it's actually the office one has to liase with that's rubbish - not the infrastructure or the mechanics.

Sounds like they definately fell below their then, didnt realise AA dealt with EU cover as I've always had RAC in the UK.

no quite the opposite, i killed the clutch, porsche assist sorted it out, collected car and brought a car to me, although the first was a saab to which I complained about, then they offered the rangie (after about 2 hours on the phone, standing in enterprise rental offices)

I dont quite understand why they are wasting valuable earning time going to school - surely there's peat that needs cutting or something ? And hopefully they're too young to have bank accounts of their own, so their wages can be sent direct to yours ?

Come on Ballcock, I'm REALLY trying to help you out here !!

(Oh and dont even think about wasting money on the switch - you'll never use it !!)
