Can someone who's used this benefit explain a couple of questions for me? First, until you drop the vehicle off and have had the mechanics look at it, how do you know if you will need a rental? I work 55 miles away from home, so I typically will overnight drop off my vehicle at the dealer, at which point I need a rental to get to work the next morning. I've driven myself to work and probably have 3 hours on the clock before the dealer has even LOOKED at my vehicle...if the dealer turns around and says that the fix was simple, only 2 hours of work, am I going to get reimbursed for my rental? Second question, does the HC policy just reimburse you for rentals and YOU need to find a local rental place and rent and return and then submit receipts? It's probably not convienent like the Honda dealership giving you a loaner, is it? Detail will help me, thanks

Replying to: yling (Dec 02, 2006 2:49 pm) Don't buy any EW except Honda's. It is a good warranty but, like all insurance, you are betting that you are going to win by having problems and Honda is betting the other way. Who has more knowledge? I can't see it unless you're buying something with extra (and very expensive) "toys" like an Ody Touring R&N (one of which I own and I haven't even bought an EW for it). No, it does not cover service items such as timing belts or brake pads. Don't know much about Low Jack but it sure seems like a lot of money.

Replying to: insaneoctane (Dec 03, 2006 4:01 pm) if the dealer turns around and says that the fix was simple, only 2 hours of work, am I going to get reimbursed for my rental? Not likely. Most contracts pay for rentals if repairs exceed a set number of labor hours, or there is an overnight wait for parts. There is usually a cap on the amount paid per day, as well as the total amount paid. Second question, does the HC policy just reimburse you for rentals and YOU need to find a local rental place and rent and return and then submit receipts? It's probably not convenient like the Honda dealership giving you a loaner, is it? If the dealer has rentals, they can directly bill HC, they may call a service (like Enterprise) for you, or make you get your own wheels. It really depends on the dealership. Find the answer to this by calling your favorite dealer and asking. Request a loaner (rental) when you make your appointment whenever possible. |

Replying to: cccompson (Dec 04, 2006 4:39 am) So if this is what I'm getting on old Fords, I'd think that with Honda you'd be pretty safe without an EW. On the other hand, as some other people have posted, if you have a vehicle with a lot of new gadgets on it, some brand new feature, or if there is some specific reason for the reliability to be suspect, then you may want to get an EW. |

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 06, 2006 10:06 pm) Acuracarewarranty.com has Bernadi as links in the header bar and clearly says it's maintained by same (http://www.hondawarrantyinfo.com/acura/). Is there a connection between the sites and a particular dealer? Is the information on warranties from other sources correct?

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 06, 2006 10:06 pm)  . Before someone buys they should check all the sources for the latest prices - for sure if you want to do something like finance the warranty purchase. It looks like it is neck and neck between Saccucci and Bernardi right now for the lowest prices - but I have not checked in a few days  Dennis |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Dec 07, 2006 5:21 am) The design aspects are very similiar to Bernardi Website. I sent the owner an e-mail with my contact info, and quickly got a phone call from him. The owner of the site previously worked for Bernardi, and did their warranty site design. He has started his own business and being familiar with the Honda Care internet market created this comparison shopping website. I will be meeting with him in the near future, and hope to work with him so we can provide accurate pricing information. If anybody has any questions for me about my websites or Honda Care, please feel free to ask. We are currently redesigning our Honda Care and Ford ESP Websites to make them more user friendly.
