S80: Information Volvo On-Call renewal

[St Evelyn]

So, having bought my S80 23 months ago as a 1-year old ex-Volvo UK car that had not had the On-Call activated prior to my purchase, I am now in the position that a reminder has come up on the dash advising me that cover is soon due to expire and I need to renew it.

According to the app, the annual renewal fee is £131 for 12 months or £232 for 24 months currently - just wondering if anyone knows whether the most efficient way is to maintain coverage, i.e. is it cheaper to keep continuous coverage or would you be offered a special price if you allow it to lapse etc? Perhaps there's no difference...?

Cheers,


Steve.

Don't you get the free for 12 months when you get your car serviced?

I have just had quotes from two dealers and they both advised I would.

Are you thinking about the 'Service Promise' freebie though? I think on-call is separate.

I would guess, and I say guess, that there would be no saving to let it lapse. I don't think this is a feature that particularly makes Volvo a packet.... and up to being now a standard feature (I think), was a rare option.

Yes, it's volvo recovery that comes free with the service sadly, on call is chargeable

Looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet then - just a shame that the insurers don't recognise the on call as a full tracker solution and give a discount on the insurance
