Both look the same, both have a similar price once price is negotiated.
I drive a 250d MB E class convertible. The car given to me from brand new and was three years old about 7 weeks ago.
Both salespeople were saying stuff eg covers mot fail other than brake pads and the exhaust I think.
WW came in a bit lower for a 3-year cover.
I went with ME because on the recent negative reviews against WW on Trustpilot. Having said that ME covers a lot more services inc mot's, servicing, and i think paint damage/etc so the servicing would usually good reviews but coming to claims on warranty may be level for both.
As my car has FSH from MB and recently serviced and only done 11k miles, I sent a copy of service history to ME and they could see the mot and no advisories, I, therefore, got an immediate start, no 90-day waiting period unless I had car checked but no check either. Got the excess down to fifty pounds and MB labour rates inc diagnostics. Then I rang the next day as i was tempted to change my mind and got a free months cover.
I also got the betterment clause removed as by the time the 37 months warranty expires the car would be 6 yrs and two months old and betterment kicks in at 6 yrs or 60k miles with both I think.
I paid just under 1650 pounds and this is massively cheaper than the MB tier 1 warranty that appears to be worse than WW & ME.
As my car has FSH by MB, I'd get a free loan car from them if my car was towed in or not driveable safely but the repair would be via them.
On my car, my friend tells me that the turbos can go, as well as the computer, roof playing up, sat-nav and oxygen sensors are common faults then the Led lights but these are not covered by the warranty.
What do you guys think and any experience with the two companies I've mentioned.
TIA
