First McLaren.....

[diffstar]

After more than 20 Porsches, I have taken the plunge and bought my first car from Woking.....

The car has six months of warranty remaining. Can I ask, does McLaren roadside assistance run alongside the warranty period?

I would also like anyone's experience of how the roadside assistance works in Europe. I do at least one road trip to the Alps each year, so cross border support matters to me.

Very excited to join the club....

Thanks

Having done 3 euro tours with the club, most of us went with AA gold star or whatever its called this week, but basically the most expensive one (£80 ish from memory) that gets the car back to home / UK

Is that an upgrade from the included 5 year McLaren assist that comers with the car?

Welcome, congratulations. There's something very exciting about buying a supercar.

I'm not 100% sure about roadside assistance, but I assume it matches the initial new-car warranty. I do recall reading lately in the members club that the extended warranty no longer includes roadside assistance.

A GT owner had the experience of needing to call on McLaren Assist while near Lyon, you can read his tale here

its a while ago now but when I had my first 12c I had the extended warranty for 2/3 years, something in the back of my head tells me Mclaren wouldn't or didn't cover getting you and the car back to the UK, the fact nearly all of us had it I suspect was for the above reason.

As with all insurance (particularly Mclaren) just check it gives you the cover you require.
Sorry to be vague, one of the others will be along shortly I'm sure to confirm.

Sorry reading your question again that's the AA (or RAC) not a Mclaren bolt on.

Roadside assist is no longer included in the extended warranty. May well be in the original manufacturer warranty still not sure, check your exact documents to be sure.
