I assume it doesn't include 'consumable' parts?

If its the £500 per claim, up to 3 times a year, warranty then Ive read great things about it

Can't be that one, it's only £65 a year..... Plus it's five claims a year

Hi Jas

My daughter got this on her latest car purchase some 2 months ago and so far we've not had to test its robustness.

We've had very unfortunate experiences with lesser named warranties in the past so we're hoping the AA's will be...whats the term?..."pukka"...and that they wont squirm when confronted with a claim quite like some of the no-name warranty companies we've dealt with in the past.

We considered not taking the warranty but asked around and heard good things about them.

hi all,

thanks for your comments so far!!

the warranty covers unlimited claims per year up to value of car.

please give more comments if you have this policy or have heard good or bad about it.

hi ian,

thanks for your comment on this i have had my doubts but this does seem ok but would like to here of some more comments. may take it tho for piece of mind and see how they treat a claim if one is needed.

see you on the 8th.

Just looked at a few of the T&C and this one looks good for most of us on here as I understand most of the claims are rejected by other companies for wear and tear.

From the website;

"No Claim will be rejected on the grounds of Wear and Tear where the Insured Vehicle has covered less than 60,000 miles or is under 5 years old at the time of the claim"
