Ferrari has just announced a new "With You" plan to provide their customers with roadside assistance, no matter how old the car.  The goal is to provide the car owners, whether they own a 1947 125 S or a 2009 F70, with assurance that their supercar investment will be taken care of no matter what happens.

Customers do have to jump through at least one hoop to be included.  Owners will have to call in to one of Ferrari's customer service numbers to activate the coverage.  Currently, only owners in Italy can join the programme, but the United Kingdom will be included soon.  Other European markets will begin soon thereafter.  Hopefully, Ferrari will extend the plan worldwide.

Available 24/7/365, the deal includes getting your car to an authorized mechanic, as well as costs to get home, and hotel expense, if necessary.

Ferrari announces new, free Roadside Assistance service for all cars not covered by warranty

Ferrari is pleased to announce the launch of the new "With You" roadside assistance service to be provided free of charge to owners of all Prancing Horse cars built since 1947 and not covered by either existing factory or POWER warranties.

Under the new scheme, Ferrari clients will not only enjoy 12 months of roadside assistance if their vehicle breaks down, but also be offered cover for expenses involved in returning home or reaching the Ferrari Authorised Service Centre to which their car has been taken. Furthermore, the new "With You" service will also cover any hotel expenses incurred by the client before returning home or continuing with their journey.

The new service is free of charge and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It can be activated immediately for Italian clients but will also be extended to other European markets in the near future, starting with Great Britain. To activate cover in Italy, owners need only contact the Ferrari Client Service number - 800080202.

This latest initiative joins the growing range of services offered by the Prancing Horse to clients wishing to enjoy their Ferrari in complete confidence and peace of mind. Along with the three-year manufacturer's warranty provided with each new car, all Authorised Ferrari Dealerships and Service Centres offer extended warranty cover for cars up to 10 years from the date of their first registration through the POWER programme. In addition there is also the Ferrari Approved programme which provides warranty cover for all used Ferraris, again up to 10 years of age.

This is very important since most (old) Ferrari tend to break down.
