There are many things in this life I had never heard of before. It's not until you get older that a whole host of options and choices in life may pass your way and you have to make some tough decisions. I'd heard of pet insurance after I had my cat, but not early enough. It wasn't until my cat got old and needed some medical attention that I spotted it as an advert in the form of a poster in the Vets Practice. Several operations and £1500 later; it was the receptionist at the vet practice that asked me if I would like to take it out. I said yes. It turned out to be a wise choice, rising bills I was faced with in the future became as manageable as paying any other of my outgoings.
I hadn't heard of roadside recovery until a day or so after I was stranded on the A303 in the pouring rain, half way from home and half way to my destination. I did manage to get a garage owner to come and pick me up along with the car and take me back to theirs but it cost me, dearly. Due to the unsociable hours and the distance travelled, I could have probably bought my car three times over by the time I had paid the garage for them to come out and latterly fix the car. It was a friend who said to me in the pub later that week 'You should have had roadside recovery'. The next day, I was covered.
Once you've been stung and have had to pay out a couple of times in your life, you soon learn to look around and get as much cover for something as you possibly can. When I got my new car I looked around and found out that used car warranties were available. The one I opted for covered everything electrical and mechanical so I could be assured, whilst driving, along with roadside recovery, I was covered for any eventuality, and as my new pup was on the back seat, he was insured too.
