ALA Car Warranty worth it?

[londonlevante]

I just had a quote for my 2017 Maserati Levante from https://msm-warranty.comparisoncreator.com/results/


It apperars that a lot of the parts I worry about are covered, https://www.ala.co.uk/warranty/what-is-covered and the warranty is not that expensive (quote shows a 3 year price) which is how long I intend to keep my car.
I am poised to spring for the platinum cover.

But before I do, any practical poisitive or negative examples in using the service from ALA would be much appreciated!

As one who does not trust any warranty Co. I can only point out that you get what you pay for.

Waste of money. The catch-all is the "wear and tear" clauses. They'll be happy to take your money and then argue like **** why the fault is not covered. Caveat emptor

As with all car warranties, read the small print and then read it again, then give them a couple of what if examples to ask would this be covered.

They don't make money from paying out on claims

Yeah I have heard this too that warranty companies are not worth it, it always seems to be the popular opinion.
Full disclosure I have a friend who got his clutch failure paid for on his Porsche ~10k.
Any practical experience among the forumites of ALA not paying out? WIth the Maserati, I am quite nervous with the engine failure stories etc that I hear. Any alternatives to ALA?

I was watching 'Car Wizards' review of that model and he stated that the motor is strong on reliability.

I have only read posts about weather ingress on the Lavante, not seen any please for help with the engine on here.

Be sure to double check the maximum claim value also..
