Manager says prices are not negotiable thanks to Florida warranty laws. Any other Florida owners find a work around?
Help!
Unfortunately Florida treats extended warranties and service contracts as Insurance policies.

As such they require a guarantybond to be posted for each policy, sometimes in excess of $1 Million. Because of this, the rates in Florida will always be higher and many companies (from Electronics to Automobiles) simply won't write a contract in Florida.

You can bet that bond cost is included in those Florida rates.

(Just to understand, such a guaranty bond for say $1 Million, does not cost a huge amount but it can cost a few hundred dollars per policy...)
