Quote taken from an old post of mine which talks about Car Care Plan who do the LR extended warranty for Landrover as Landrover have nothing at all to do with it, well according to my dealer last week and LR customer services, just amazes me how when badged with LR it doubles

I can confirm that Car Care Plan (CCP) quoted £400 for the year, that is a car up to 5yrs old (12mths not 13 given by WD) as stated they also did not cover a lot of things that WD Luxury Care did, including Wear & Tear and use of franchised dealer at unrestricted rates.

At the end of the day there is a lot of info on these threads, you need to read them all and make your own mind up, as we all have different tolerances to risk, different budgets and different vehicles e.g. mileage/age/model

My CCP quote was through the CSMA website who offer a discount, may suit someone on here, that is why I have mentioned it, but costs £15yr to join the CSMA and get a quote, so maybe ask a CSMA member to get a quote for you first

In fairness you do get the recovery thrown in as well which covers Europe and not limited to 30 days abroad at a time like some recovery companies

The main difference with the LR policy though Peter is that you don't actually have to deal with the warranty company at all ....the dealer does all the negotiating and admin ..you just drop the motor off and pick it up after ...and in my case LRA will still come out, arrange recovery and give me a replacement FFRR or D4 ...and if you have an excellent relationship with your dealer then they will make sure that nothing stands in the way to jeopardise that

First adverse WD report so far DG, thanks for he post.

As said I have heard very good things about them ...my initial experience though was fraught and I got cold feet very quickly. They even argued that I would have to pay a % penalty to cancel before the warranty became active ....I had to read out their own refund policy to them over the phone

The Wear & tear IS THE ISSUE, you don't have it with that and have paid more, it's a risk I wouldn't take

Proof will be in the pudding Though the exclusion is specifically

Quote:

The gradual reduction in operating performance (wear and tear) consistent with
the age and mileage of the vehicle.

I'm sure what the definition of "consistent" is will be agreed between me and my dealer.

anyway ...an interesting comparison

I think you need to research them a bit more on here first if you think only one has had bad experiences with them!

From my personal, expensive experience, if it doesn't include wear and tear don't part with your cash, especially at the age yours is!

You could always open a bank account and put the money in there instead
