Used car warranty company

[Roach]

My cousin is looking for a new used car. One dealer is offering a warranty by Royal Protect.

 

Just by doing a fast search it doesn't seem to be highly rated.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for other warranty companies?

Warranty companies are in place to make money not help the consumer. The average repair bills are totalled up for 3 or 4 years and whatever that cost is they tack on extra. Save the money and don't buy it

They have a horrible rating...like jh812 said, most are garbage.  Just have to pay attention to the fine print and know when the warranty is active.  You want to make sure it starts day 1, mile 1...some have a waiting period.  If you buying from a big car dealer, the ones they offer are usually good.  If you are buying from a smaller used car lot, good luck.  There is a list below of some good ones, I personally did GWC on my Mercedes C250 when I had it.

Thanks for the info.

 

She's still looking around - but I figured I would look into them to hopefully give her some options. I'd just hate to see her get something and then 6-12 months down the road have a bunch of repairs she can't afford to have fixed.
