Been thinking of getting a waranty for the X and Warranty Direct seem to be the best of a mixed lot of reviews that I have found on other forums. There doesnt seem to be many posts on here about them, maybe X drivers feel more confident than Treg drivers do?
I have been offered their Extra Care for £990 for 24 months.
Does anyone have and good or bad points to share?

Re: Warranty Direct?
Must admit I have though of just putting £1000 in a back account and forgetting about it unless the X needs it. I am mainly worried about expensive stuff like the gearbox. Not as bothred about stuff I can do myself or that costs a few hundred ££'s as that it normal car spends IMHO.

Re: Warranty Direct?
Yeah I think you might be better putting money aside! knowing my luck the car would run fine and break day after warranty runs out.
I was speaking to a garage and they said the best company they found was the AA. Said they don't put a limit on how many claims you do a year. and they just send a cheque for the value.
Worth a look maybe?

This thread might help you make a decision..
I think it's safe to say the jury is still out. If you do go with them, play 'hard to get' as their price might come down...

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
Re: Warranty Direct?
I didn't bother in the end. After a little more clarification and the fact I've just hit 100k miles so there cover decreases proportionally I figured I'll just keep some money aside and hope for the best.
Re: Warranty Direct?
I had a Warranty Direct deal on my VW EOS (my X3 is due Sept) - as I was concerned if the roof mechanism went wrong. I was able to negotiate with them to fully cover the roof system at a fixed monthly price held foe 3 years. I never needed to claim so cannot advise on that aspect - Eos gone now part exed for X3.
