Get Cash back Buying AA Breakdown Insurance

by admin on Feb.23, 2009, under Breakdown Cover

The AA do not do this themselves but of you participate in the few cash back websites out there, you could find yourself getting a percentage off your breakdown insurance premium back. As we said the AA do nor participate directly but as they do pay commission to certain websites for delivering sales to them, they in turn pay back to you some of that commission.

The results are they probably increase their visitors many times over and what may be seen as a commission loss, now becomes a commission increase by the sheer numbers.

There is a question mark about how legal this is, as there is some legislation about cash rewards when taking out a financial contract as this is a financial contract in the form of breakdown insurance, you would need to find someone far more qualified in finance to explain why this type of programme is allowed and has not been shut down, of which we are sure would have been, if it were illegal.

So for now at least you can give this type of website a try, even without payouts you get the same prices as visiting the AA direct
Here is a typical site offering AA Breakdown Insurance with a cash back

Warranties On Car Lease Contracts

by admin on Feb.11, 2009, under General

Business owners who have lased cars in the past will know the difference between a non maintained car and one where servicing is included in terms of conditions and monthly premium. Even though at first glance the non maintained option may seem considerable cheaper, when you start looking at the conditions, such as when to service, where to service and the commitments to it, somehow the price of an unmaintained car no longer looks so cheap.

Not having a new car maintained properly to a car lease company, goes beyond just servicing the car and giving it a valet at the end of the contract, it also affects the warranty that came with the vehicle. Not having any vehicle services within the warranty guidelines, can make that warranty void, to all sorts of things.

Car lease firms very much rely on manufacturers’ warranties to fix problems as they arise, not only to save the expense but also to save time in administration costs, replacement vehicles etc. Ensuring your lease your vehicle with the correct mileage option is also essential. This is because most warranties cover a vehicle for a set time and mileage. If you go over that amount, your warranty is no longer in force; this adds another financial strain to the car lease company, beyond the re-saleable value of the car.

So leasing a new car with minimum options may seem like a good idea, but make sure you read all your commitments and understand why they are there and the benefit of keeping that manufacturer warranty active.
