Extended warranties

[Dee-vub]

Got a phone call this morning from Budget. They interrupted my sleep, but i feel they offered me a pretty coprehensive package. It was based on warranties manufacturers offer you when you buy the car brand new.

Basically its cover against all mechanical and electrical failure with them paying up to £3000 towards any claim. Will cover you mainland europe etc etc....will pay hotel charges and recovery charges(i think) if the car is away from home.

This is at a cost of £16.95 a month, which i think isnt all that bad at all, especially since i am about to change the engine and gearbox etc. Its gave me that little extra piece of mind with regards to the new gearbox going in.

It is over 2 years and only costs £203 for the year. I think its a crackin offer, especially since its monthly payments, and i am pretty sure the lad said it can be cancelled at any time.

Any you guys on a similar policy, or have had any experience of somethin similar. What you think of it??
