Warranty Direct Warranty - What do you think?

[Christina]

I recently purchased Tucson and have been looking for a warranty. During my research, I came across this company warranty direct car warranty which seems to have good reviews from Trustpilot.

But still, I have some concerns about these warranties.

Any recommendations?

Just bear in mind, if a faulty part is made of Metal, Plastic or Rubber, has anything to do with Electrics or Wear and Tear,
Chances are, it won't be covered by the Warranty!
Just stash £100 a month or so in a savings account.
After a few years, your car won't have gone wrong and you'll have a nice little lump sum for a cheap holiday Sat there!
And bear in mind the Smallprint, lots of Warranties won't pay out more than has been paid in!

So sorry I'm new to the forum and I didn't know I posted in the Mercedes forum.

I didn't even know where it posted exactly

Thank you Mickyh7

Agree with Mickyh7 and you can choose when and where to the car fixed.
Warranties have too many exclusions and excuses not to pay £££
If nothing goes wrong you have the £££ not the warranty outfit.

 

[Mickyh7]

I've always called it 'Self- Warranty'.
I have honestly saved Thousands and Thousands of pounds over my lifetime doing this.
Once I had to pay £1200 for a repair, for which I had already stashed the money.
Dealers hate it, but how often do cars go wrong big time?
You get 6 months warranty by law, no matter what the Dealer will tell you.
Then you get another 6 months depending on the faults, by law!
That's a year!
Never mind 'The 90 Day Warranty' they tell you is a Favour.
Just make sure, when buying, you put £101 on your credit card, (pay it off the next month) then The Consumer Act 1975 kicks in and the Credit Card company does all of the chasing around for you!

You're asking about a Tucson and in the user info it says MG. In all seriousness and please take no offence, but are you some sort of advertising AI bot?

How have you made your way to a Mercedes forum, signed up, and didn't know you posted in a Mercedes forum?

But regardless, welcome. People are helpful on here so please stick around.

It is only a Mercedes forum
hence MB Club Uk

Don't worry, you will still get good advice though so welcome

How old is the Hyundai and what mileage?

I have been with warranty direct for three years £29.00 per month. One claim, Nox sensor £650.00, paid immediately.

...are you some sort of advertising AI bot?...

I wonder how an AI bot will respond to this question....

You'd like to think, truthfully! It's the rise of the machines I tell you.........

£1044.00 paid in then?
Your £394 down already!
Should have put your £29 into a savings account every month.

Where it would have also earned interest.

“Ordinary” garages will also often give a discount or negotiated price if they don’t have to do warranty admin.

Are you insinuating that Warranty Cover is as much use a Chocolate Teapot?

 

[Byron321]

While I can see both sides of the argument I guess it’s just personal choice having a bit of piece of mind.
I purchased a 24 month warranty for £449 for my CL500 which I thought was a no brainer at that price, and I’ve already used them twice and they have paid out no quibble around £550 so I’m £100 pound up with another 21 months of cover left? So it can work in your favour

 

[Byron321]

It isn’t with warranty direct though I must add

So can buying a lottery ticket....

If everyone got paid more than they paid in, then the warranty providers would have gone bust a long time ago.

Clearly, the majority of people pay into the warranties far more than they will ever get back. The statistics are always in favour of the warranty provider (just as the odds are always in favour of the casino).

Buying a warranty on the assumption that you'll get out of it more than you paid in, is illogical.

Buying a warranty because you sleep better at night, is sensible. The product you are buying when paying for a warranty is 'peace of mind' - not a ruffle ticket.

If you bought a warranty and the result was that you didn't need to worry about repair cost should the worst happen, then you got your money's worth.

The suggestion that you also need to make some money out of it, is plain wrong, in my view.

Yeah I totally agree with what you are saying it was for a bit of peace of mind for me, but luckily it has worked out in my favour but granted it won’t for everyone
