How many people take out warrentys/Break down cover?
I'm insuring my car soon. Took out cover last year with Swift cover with breakdown insurence. Then I hear about AA breakdown cover, where you can claim up to £500 etc for around £170yr. Bought and cancelled this as my garage said the slave cylinder would be seen as wear and tear (knowing someone who works for that side of AA).
Warrentty direct wants £277 with the cover of some wear and teer and no £500 limit. They pay up to a resonable price to what your cars worth. The only time I used my breakdown cover over the year was because of a dead battery, and then it cost me £90 for a replacement. I used to buy cheap run arounds with no added cover and never much problem. MOD's. It would be good to see a poll if its of any interest. 1. People who take out no extra cover. 2. Those who take out basic to middle cover ie brake down at roadside/home start. 3. Those who take out Warrenties, AA/RAC full cover including parts and garage expensis. With car insurence being so high who can afford to not gamble the extra cover? ie last year insurence, £500 including #2 of cover. This year £500+ before any cover is added. Jay

I currently only have the normal RAC recovery package but will be looking into the AA warranty scheme, just for a little bit of extra peace of mind.

Have a breakdown policy for me in what ever car I drive. Don't ever take a warranty, if its broke I put my overalls on and fix it, sometimes I don't want to but in the last 10 years I must have saved a huge fortune probably saved close to £3000 by not having a warranty but my time is not considered
