I just searched for Warranty Direct and it says not accepting any new policies? Has something happened to them?

Looks to me like they`ve gone down.

They are furnishing existing policy enquiries so I reckon I gave them a grand nearly, 2 months ago, for nothing.

Glad now I went for Volvo extra 2 years was a very good price at £745

Don't seem to be able to get 2 years extended on an XC90 from Volvo, was intending on going with Warranty Direct in March 21 when my standard warranty is up but looks like this is now not an option, one reason for going with them was unlimited hourly rate, anyone know what Volvo main dealer hourly rate is?

Have you tried speaking to a dealer to see if they're still available? For some reason its never been possible to get the 2-yr Volvo warranty via the website - only at a dealership (I think it's something to do with FCA requirements).

Spoke to my local dealer where I bought the car from but got a very quick 'no' when I asked about extending for 2 years, I'm going to try another dealer tomorrow to see if I get the same response.

Spoke to my dealer, last week and salesman didn’t know anything about the 2 year warranty, put me through to their admin, and they found the info for me, from Volvo. £845 for 2 years. So will probably sign up when it goes for service in the next couple of weeks.

Had the same problem the Volvo 2 extra years warranty is not offered by all dealers I ended up asking Volvo customer services who are the dealers who offer and they got a dealer to contact me Marshalls of Peterborough offer it for one.
