Delta vs competitors
I just completed my second extended service plan with Delta Auto Protect after having become even more informed at time of first purchase nearly a month ago. AaAutoProtection is a most ethical company but it could not match, much less beat, Delta's pricing despite its price match guarantee. More important to know however, not only is Wanted Auto Protect's pricing after negotiating considerably more than Delta's, a careful review of Wanted's contract revealed the following: Maximum daily car rental $35 vs. $65 at Delta and Wanted excludes first day of loss of car's use; no gps navigation coverage, insured's obligation to check daily oil and temperature gauges "making certain functioning properly." If engine damage from contaminated gas from gas station, tough luck for Wanted Auto insured and, incredibly, if vehicle too expensive to repair, Wanted provides for an out by its absolute right to cancel policy for any reason and simply refunding, pro rata, paid premium. So if $3500 engine job necessary at time contract has only 3-6 months remaining, Wanted can cancel and refund a sum of less than $200. Delta can cancel only for legitimate reasons fully particularized. In event Wanted cannot honor contract, it says Administrator will, but Administrator IS WANTED! Delta has third party to refund balance of contract, namely Omega Vehicle Services, in event of insolvency. Endurance and Solace were dismissed quickly after one call. Nobody should consider a ESP without speaking to Jim Devins or Jesse Douglas, with whom I had the most contact at Delta. He the most knowledgeable and ethical person one could ever deal with although Jim was both honest and a pleasure to work with. Both will do everything possible to make extended service search pleasureful and because these gentlemen sell only plans offered by their own company, Delta, you will certainly get the lowest price.
