Insurance Companies - Comparison

I have in the past, taken out a 'Coverplan' warranty on all electrical goods purchased at Curys etc.. Having purchased a Beko dishwasher, the device brokedown causing circuit breakers to trip etc... The problem was identified as being with the dishwasher .... Placing a call via the Coverplan Service agreement, you are told that someone needs to be available all day between the hours of 8am - 6pm on the scheduled engineers visit. If you miss the engineers visit, for any reason, you will have to pay £58 to book a further engineer call out ....!! Hmmm ....

The annual bout of phone calls and clicking can be a real pain, but it certainly can pay off if you put work into it. But it isn't a case of you get what you pay for...

When it comes to things like insurance, i am very lazy about shopping around. I had settled with CGU and NU Direct to take care of all life's little worries, and dutifully filed away all my reneval notices in the relevant draw and continued paying my DD's until.......

Well, I have just received from Curry's the cost for 3 years renewal on my washer dryer. I bought it for 329.95 and they are charging £150 for three years. Now I know you all heard different horror stories about extended warranties, but I really need one, because washer dryers are more likely to break down than a washer or a dryer because they have twice the parts, but I'm not going for the high street buy our warranties at silly prices plan. So, I did a bit of shopping and found the cheapest company by far was www.coverplan.co.uk 3 years for 95.00 which is under domestic & general PLC. I did find one or two other companies, but ...  Read the complete review
