They are service contracts which have very specific wording that an atty would be able to pick apart and explain to you better than I can. They are written with lots of wiggle room and allow the contractor to be the winner.
IF I ever went completely crazy and decided to purchase an extended contract I would never buy a service contract from a third party. It would have to be from Ford , GM or whoever manufactured the vehicle but then again, the wording is written in gray ink, blurred gray ink . Like you can't tell if its an eighth note or a sixteenth note. :B
I am now convinced that Service Contracts are not the way to go. However, a good comprehensive Roadside Assistance Plan is a necessary evil when being on the road IMO.
Absolutely. It costs money to do it, the road service comes out ahead. But I did it because I tow snowmobile trailers so I don't have to crawl around changing tires in sub-zero F temps.
I use Coach-Net. They have been great and quick the 3x I have used it. Any vehicle that I drive or are a passenger in is covered. My package includes anything I tow. You can use unlimited times during the contract period and they responded to remote areas where my previous company would not.
Thank you. Very helpful. I notice that Coach.net has an Emergency Trip Interruption that pays for lodging, food, etc. in the event of a collision. Doesn't seem to include breakdowns. Have you had an experience with them reimbursing when the motor home is under repair more than 100 miles from home or is it just for a collision?
