HAS ANYONE HEARD OF CAR PROTECT.CO.UK

[rnd]

Hi just got a call from above and they are offering a warranty for £24 a month with a limit of 3k per claim. Sounds to good to be true (so it probibly is) but thought I would see if anyone has any dealings with them. I have a evo8 On there web site the only thing spooks me is "we will not reject any wear and tear on vehicles under 5 years old" mine is 6 so will everything be rejected?

Never heard of them but that doesn't they are not any good. On iPhone so not researched.

No experience of them, but the name rang a bell - they sponsored Dave Pinkney in BTCC last year:

Wonder how much they charged him for a warranty?

would not have covered that car then

Just had a quote from them £21.99 monthly £1500 claim limit.

The AA cover my two cars for £15.99 but only £500 per claim (five max)

just sounds for an evo so cheap warranty direct want £800 for the year. Told them to ring me again tomorrow night and I think I need to ask some probing questions but again a sales person will say what I want to hear that is why it is good to hear comments from guys on here who have had dealings with them

I used to use Warranty direct I don't anymore.
I am not allow to say why under forum rules.
I'm sure you can work out why.
The AA have been great.
Paid out on a xenon pack for MrsJems' bus. I was amazed. It's a bulb essentially!

I visited www.carprotect.co.uk and bought a policy online, 4 steps and 5 minutes later I had a policy. Had looked at Warranty Directs site, but found that so complicated. When I had finally filled everything in and got to the price it was double what I have paid for a Car Protect policy.

[Jem0911]

The key is what happens when you claim.
Let us know how they perform?

I'll keep you posted on the claims side. That’s another thing the Policy documentation from Car Protect isn't complicated. I've had some insurance policies where you can't make out if your covered or not

Doesn't the car have to be broken down in order to claim?

Let me guess; they baffled you with science, yes?

Parts too, it was recovered as the lights failed on a night journey.
It was the Xenon pack that failed so it was covered?

Pretty sure it's Dave Pinkney's company.
