Keep the warranty, Relax isn't as comprehensive.

I agonised over this one a few weeks back. I’ve a 2017 GSF and got the 12 months relax warranty with the last service in early August -  I was exactly half way through the 2 year extended warranty (EW). There are a few things excluded from relax (multimedia, exhaust/cat converter, shock absorbers) so I was going to keep the EW until I had it confirmed it definitely won’t be available for renewal. I figured that, the older the car gets the more chance of a warranty claim so there’s not a lot of point hanging on to the EW for just another year when the car is still relatively young - I may as well get a refund and bank the money towards any problems. In fact what really swung it was by the time I’d dithered around there was only 11 months left but I was still refunded 50% of the 2 year premium!

Looking into both of these warranties also made me realise that the ‘wear and tear’ clause even of the EW would make a successful claim of some of the items covered (compared to Relax) very subjective. I also asked myself, if I had Relax cover before the EW, would I have paid to take out the EW for the extra cover. The answer was almost certainly  not.

Anyway, hope this helps, but if you do a search there has been a plethora of posts on this.
