The essentials
What is a car warranty?
A warranty helps cover the cost of repairs when a covered mechanical or electrical part fails. If the failed part is covered, the warranty pays the costs of parts, labour and VAT for repairing or replacing it, up to the claim limit in your warranty documentation. Terms, conditions and exclusions apply.
Find the right protection
Three levels.
One less worry.
The warranties available depend on your car’s age, mileage and make. We will confirm which level is available for your vehicle, along with its duration and claim limits.
Protect Lite Plus
Protection against most electrical and mechanical components.
Protect Essential
Keep car ownership stress-free with standard cover.
Protect Plus
Comprehensive cover for greater peace of mind.
These are summaries, not a complete list of covered components. Your warranty documentation sets out the exact cover, limits and exclusions.
