Extended LR Assistance

My RRS will be 3 years old at the the end of May 2008. I have received an invite to extend my LR assistance for 1 year for £190 - for this I get exactly what I already have. Do yo think it's worth it or would it be better to get a polict with the likes of RAC, AA etc.? The only real benefit seems to be the replacement car. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

How much is the equivalent AA/RAC cover going to cost you? £190 for a year's mfr warranty seems quite good value though... at least you don't need to worry about finding out too late about a gap in the AA/RAC policy.

Will LRA include warranty S ??

Normally LRA and the warranty are linked... extended LR warranty also includes LRA coverage as far as I'm aware. Certainly does over here in the BMW world Very Happy

This is simply for LR assistance. The extended warranty is a lot more but I havn't been contacted regarding this yet. If you extend your warranty you get Assist with it. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

From my recollections i used to pay something like 650 pounds per year for extended warranty on my wife TD5 in the UK for years 4 and 5, and to be honest when it came to repair time, it only really covered major components, not the same level of attention, parts and labour that would be covered under the standard manufacturers warranty. VA if you go for the extended warranty assuming they put something to you, read the small print, some things start to fall into wear and tear after 3 years, make sure it is a like for like, however as an insurance policy against major component failure its worth having.

The RRS extended warranty is in the region of £1400 - I have already decided not to take the LR option on this.

On a separate note - I am amazed that with on 2 weeks until my RRS is 3 years old my supplying dealer hasn't been in contact to try and sell me another car. Shame on Guy Salmon Thames Ditton - your sales department is rubbish! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Misread the original post, thought this was for extended warranty... £1400 is a different story Embarassed

Looks like family cover from the RAC is anything up to £203! It also looks like RAC covers the person not the car... Confused £176 for all the options with the AA by the looks of things... and they cover the vehicle, not the person.

Yeah, I'd go for the LR option too... response has always been pretty good when I used them. Haven't used the RAC or AA for years now, but they were always the expensive option back when I was looking. I used to use Green Flag instead... just as good although they didn't do replacement vehicles either. Didn't need one though..
