After Joint AA cover and 2 cars on Parts & Labour Warranty – cheapest way?

da_murphster

I have two ‘fine British made cars’ which I cherish but would really like to have them covered by AA Parts and Labour Warranty system.

I currently have one covered and my renewal is up as £231 for ‘the works’ and the P&L – so would be looking at an additional £90 to put another car on the P&L warranty – total - £320 -that’s a lot of money!

Just looked at a ‘new’ membership – they have a ‘great’ offer that says £70 but instantly goes to £130 when you ask for a quote. They seem to be advertising prices you cannot select!

Anyway, my online quote works to be £217.65 and I would have to ring up separately for the second P&L cover (would be £90) – total £307.65. Plus I should be able to get £50 quidco (if they pay up) – reduces it to £257.65.

This is still a lot and certainly seems more than I paid for the policy a year ago.

Any advice or wangles out there?

Worth me forgetting Quidco and ringing them up and attempting to haggle – I’m aware that the AA are the only people offering the P&L warranty so they do have me slightly by the short and curlies…

Is this the "warranty" that is bolted onto the AA Breakdown Cover? IIRC it has a maximum claim of £500 and will only cover breakdowns where the AA are called out to recover the vehicle.

You have to weigh up the claims limit. A full fat warranty would cost around £250-£400 from places like Warranty Direct.

Unfortunately they specifically exclude my cars. Something about them breaking down too much - hence wanting the warranty!
