I was driving downhill today when suddenly my car was in neutral. Worn clutch?

The search function is your friend... here is a thread with the exact same issue and Bill diagnosed the problem as "Rounded sleeve teeth, or bent fork".

how much is it to get it repaired? ive had the car for a few months and it is the first time that it's done this.

Assuming the problem is with the sleeve teeth and/or shift fork, the transmission would basically need to be rebuilt or replaced to fix the issue. The price is entirely dependent on if you choose to have the transmission rebuilt or replaced and the labor rates that your shop charges (assuming you aren't doing the labor yourself). Before going to the extreme of a replacement or rebuild, I would see if the problem persists... it's possible you may have just failed to fully put the shifter in gear.

Just found out I have about a month left on my powertrain warranty. Would it be wise to get it rebuilt even if it's only happened once so far?

If they'll rebuild it at no cost to you, go for it!

I rebuilt my own transmission when mine was popping out of 3rd gear. It was worn sleeves and worn forks on mine. I replaced all bearings as well since I was already tearing it all down anyway. (Probably could have gotten by without replacing bearings). Cost for all parts and tools to complete the job was ~$1800. (Would have been only ~$1000 for just synchro sets and forks.)

See if it happens regularly on you. I would monitor the this before spending big bucks.

Every now and again my 1st gear does this, I've got a questionable syncro. 105K. It will pop out once or twice in a week and than not do it for months.
