Consumers who are looking for car warranties obviously want to get the best deal they possibly can. Not only is the UK struggling through austerity measures but there are growing worries that there will be a new recession and why it is also vital to protect the assets they currently have. Keeping the cost of car warranties low is one area where Warrantywise can be of great help whether a customer is looking for a Mitsubishi Warranty or a service and maintenance plan on a BMW.
Warrantywise is a VAT registered firm which is the foundation of how warranty costs can be kept low for consumers. The reason for this is because all VAT can be reclaimed on all service, maintenance and overhead, as well as on repair bills which are part of our customers’ plans. This is different than the traditional type of warranty which operates on an insurance model.
What this means to you is that 15% of the money you pay for a plan such as an Audi Warranty would necessarily need to go to a parent company. This is 15% Warrantywise does not need to charge their customers because they don’t operate on the traditional insurance model. Typical warranty insurance companies are owned or licensed under a parent insurance company but Warrantywise is independently owned. Of course, the 5% IPT (Insurance Premium Tax) wouldn’t need to be paid either. That totals 20% which doesn’t need to be passed on to the consumer, and that alone is a significant savings.
When all these things are added up, the savings which Warrantywise customers can take advantage of equals 40%! That would be 20% on VAT, 15% not given to parent companies and 5% on IPT. Whether you are in need of a Suzuki Warranty or a Mitsubishi service plan, the cost can be kept low because of the way in which Warrantywise operates. With over 30 years in the business, this is a savings you can count on.

We all enjoy settling down for a great movie and most of us appreciate the finer qualities of a cracking good car; which means that it is no surprise the following cars remain so popular.
The Italian Job – Mini Cooper
This vehicle is so famous that I knew all about it before I even saw the movie. The brilliant driving sequences remain among the best ever shot and if I ever buy a Mini it will be almost entirely due to this film.
Back to the Future – DeLorean
Apparently they chose a DeLorean so that it could fit in with the joke about it being a flying saucer, and it was the perfect choice. Even in the 1985 scenes is looked futuristic and when they go back to 1955 is just looks so out of place. It seems that the original script had Marty McFly time travelling in a fridge but what a good thing it was that they changed their minds.
The Dukes of Hazzard – Dodge
I have to admit that my fondness for this car comes from the television series rather than the film, but I guess that plenty of people see things the other way round. I don’t think that I have ever seen anyone else climb in a car without opening the doors first and I am still waiting for the perfect opportunity in a darkened car park to give it a try one day.
James Bond – Aston Martin
Has there ever been a cooler car or a cooler guy? Admit it, when he drove that car you wanted to be James Bond, even if it meant being chased by fearsome henchmen all the time. It didn’t seem to do his popularity with the ladies any harm either, did it?
Herbie – Beetle
This cute little Beetle was a sensitive soul, wasn’t he? I haven’t seen him for a while but he is still one of my favourite cars of all time.
Ghostbusters- Cadillac
Do you remember this bizarre vehicle? It was certainly big enough to fit in all of their ghost busting gear. Not the sportiest model around and I wouldn’t really want one myself but it was certainly right for the part.
Wayne’s World – AMC Pacer
I only saw this movie once but I seem to remember that it was in this car that they sung their famous version of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Blues Brothers- Dodge
This wasn’t quite as smart as a few of the others on the list but it made its way in movie car history by feeling like an integral part of the story.
Ferris Bueller- Ferrari
This car ended up in a bit of a bad way in this classic movie but it had played a big part in it before crashing through a glass window.
Grease – Ford Deluxe
I bet you can even remember at least half the words to the Greased Lightning song, can’t you? I would just love to own a car like this but then I don’t think I have the John Travolta cool to pull it off.
If you don’t fancy a drive-in why not try your local showcase cinemas, with cinemas in Leeds and throughout the rest of the UK.
