Noticed that they don't offer the warranty to Florida owners.

Yes, that's due to Florida laws which only permits warranties to be sold by in-state dealers.

Not only can't our state run any election properly, we can't purchase a warranty from an out of state dealer to get the best price possible...crazy! Even if I wanted to buy one, I can't...go figure.

Back in 2005 I purchased Honda Care warranty from a Honda Dealer in Virginia and in 2008 I purchased Toyota Care from a Toyota Dealer in Oklahoma and I live in Florida so unless that is a new law in Florida you should be able to buy the extended warranty from anywhere

It's became an enforcement issue IIRC. Florida at some point decided that extended warranties were insurance policies so they could only be purchased from insurance agents. Every dealer has one licensed insurance agent so they can sell them.

I found this revision recently for Florida. It might be the one thing I am glad about Rick Scott. I found this in a different forum.
  
Motor Vehicle Service Agreement - Forms & Rate Issues
As a result of SB 2176, effective 06/01/2010, the requirement that forms and rates for motor vehicle service agreements (also referred to as an auto extended warranty).be filed and approved by the Office of Insurance Regulation has been lifted.
By July 1, 2011, each service agreement sold in this state must be accompanied by a written disclosure to the consumer that the rate charged for the service agreement is not subject to regulation by the OIR. A service agreement company may comply with this requirement by including such disclosure in its service agreement form or in a separate written notice provided to the consumer at the time of sale.
The OIR may order a service agreement company to stop using a form that:
1. Is in violation of or does not comply with the Florida Insurance Code or an Administrative Rule.
2. Contains any inconsistent, ambiguous, or misleading clauses, or exceptions and conditions which deceptively affect the risk purported to be assumed in the general coverage of the service agreement.
3. Has any title, heading, or other indication of its provisions which is misleading.
4. Is printed or otherwise reproduced in such manner as to render any material provision of the form substantially illegible.
5. Contains any provision which is unfair or inequitable or which encourages misrepresentation.
6. Contains any provision which makes it difficult to determine the actual insurer or service agreement company issuing the form.
7. Contains any provision for reducing claim payments due to depreciation of parts, except for marine engines.

#3708 of 3776 Zurich Optional Service Contract by couponmagnet

Hi,
 
I was sold a Zurich Optional Service contract with purchase of a new Honda. (its just yesterday).
Should I cancel it? as many forums I read sound like this is a third party warranty. (Finance guy told me this would cover electronics as well at $0 deductible and unlimited miles of towing if required).
 
If I have to cancel it how do I do it? I live in CA.
 
Whats better Optional Service contract or EW?
