60k+ with Warranty on DD... can the name be changed??

Craig · 22-06-2011, 12:42 AM

Just a quick one, car I've been looking at as a Fully Comp warranty with I believe £100 excess and is been paid monthy by DD... can this name be changed without them hiking the price up, or are they likely to start asking for more?

Maybe I could just give the current (maybe soon to be old) owner a chunk of money to keep the warranty going? I do trust him, so no worries there.

I was about to post exactly the same question.

So I am interested to know too, the booklet only gives you the option of transfer ownership if paid on annual policy

Yeh, I want to tread carefully as if its a no-go may see about getting the current owner to carry it on for me.

My understanding is that only the annually paid policy can be transferred and not the monthly DD one. I know someone that got stung in this way where the seller was paying at the lower rate depsite having clicked over 60k and the buyer had to declare mileage resulting in the higher monthly premium. Bit of a doh moment...

When I took out the Warranty I asked about change of ownership and he advised that it can be transferred onto the new owner, not sure if the monthly price goes up though. I would probably think that it stays the same.

Hi All,

I just had this when I sold my E46 M3 which was on 61k. My policy was on direct debit, what happens is Mondial cancel the sellers policy and you have to start your own.

Which means anything over 60k miles costs a fortune.

I just started a new policy on the csl (less than 60k) miles and they want £82 per month for £250 excess but after 11 months if you ring up and amend your excess you get the normal mondial rate after your first 12 months of being penalised for lapsing the warranty. Im not sure if this applies to cars over 60k though?

Id give them a call and get a quote.
