Angry Price differences in Extended warranty

Why has the price risen so sharply, my dad got the letter on the 5th and i recieved mine on the 19th. Why the difference for the same car and age both MY01

5th April 408 for 2 years and 60000miles
19th april 493 for 2 years amd 60000 miles

Ring them up and have a haggle, most warranties are high profit products for whoever sells them

Did Warranty Holdings supply the warranty for Subaru ? If they did, they went into liquidation last month - so perhaps International Motors have gone elsewhere for the newest policies

Ring them up and haggle/complain. There may be something in the existing maintenance history that affects the quote though. Plus it might just be their quotes are based on arbitrary 'months' and you fell into different periods.

Clearly the price went up, maybe to start on the new tax year? 6th April for most companies.

The price will go up at one point! Nothing untoward in that, surely?

Mine was £404 I think, 1 year ago
