Warranties

[joe c]

Hi,
Anyone used a company called Private Car Warranties?
if so would appreciate comments.

I have one, but when i bought mine they were underwritten by Warranty Holdings, no idea about the new warranties they do, sorry.

I have a warranty with them, haven't claimed yet though, so can't comment on how good/bad they are. I have a 12 month 'Premier Plus Cover warranty' for my Tam which cost £395. It states that the claims can cover up to the purchase price of the car.

I got the link for the warranty from the Autotrader website.

Yes i used them and took out a 3 year warranty on my Cerbera, i sent a Credit Card cheque just to be safe and then asked the warranty direct for a letter to confirm i was covered etc. I haven't had any problems the only slight issue is that the warranty doesn't cover TVR's labour rates i think they pay £28 an hour so you could still get left with a bill etc. My warranty also covered upto the purchase price of the vehicle and not the £1000 or £2500 limit that seem to be floating around.

What's going on here/ I've just posted up exactly the same question and got no replies - I have ben quoted £495 for the same cover!! When did you take out the warranty, Chris?

£395 was an online price around March time, just before Warranty Holdings went under. The new warranty offered will be covered by a completely different company.

OOps,, didn't spot your post Nubbin!!! sorry
I got mine around April time, I tried it again on the website, and it's still the same price, £395!! Odd!

The guy is sending me a policy document before I sign - any ideas on the labour rates they pay? I think I will go to the website and take out the warranty from there!

Ah, I've just been on the website - 20% discount for buying online! That's it for me!!
