Used Car warranty explained.
Before we start, let’s get back to basics. What exactly is a used car warranty? We understand that financial decisions like these require some careful consideration so you can make a decision with confidence. Here’s everything you need to know about car warranties.
What is an extended or used car warranty?
Think of an extended or used car warranty as a safety net for your wheels. It’s a service agreement that gives you extra coverage for unexpected repairs, providing peace of mind beyond the original manufacturer’s warranty.
What is the benefit of an extended car warranty?
An extended car warranty provides several benefits. It offers financial protection by covering the cost of unexpected repairs and mechanical failures that may occur after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. It gives you peace of mind, knowing that you won’t face expensive repair bills. However, cover levels vary so it’s really important to review the terms, limitations, and exclusions of the warranty plan to understand what is covered for your vehicle.
What does an extended car warranty cover?
Plans cover different things depending on your cars age and mileage. You can find more information on the ‘what does my plan cover’ page.

Can I choose my own garage?
Yes. You can use any VAT registered garage of your choice, however, we always recommend using one of our Approved Repairers. These repair facilities undergo careful monitoring to guarantee the best workmanship and service quality.
Do I need an extended car warranty?
If your car is over 3 years old, your manufacturer’s warranty has most likely expired, leaving you vulnerable to expensive repair costs. An extended car warranty can protect you against mechanical and electrical faults, giving you added peace of mind.
What are plan additions?
Plan additions are designed to enhance our service and give you more choice when personalising your warranty cover. You can add or remove these additions during the quote process to tailor your cover to your needs and budget.
Can I get breakdown recovery?
Yes. All our warranty plans come with breakdown cover as standard provided by The Automobile Association (The AA) and we go the extra mile to include car hire, onward travel and other expenses.
What is the duration of the vehicle warranty?
Our plans are available in lengths to suit your needs. From monthly cover to 12, 24 or 36 month plans.
Non-Insured (Discretionary) Warranty
Discretionary warranty plans, also known as “non-insured “, warranties, are agreements where the supplier uses their judgment to help consumers in resolving problems. These schemes are more flexible in their terms and conditions. They typically involve setting up a warranty fund to compensate motorists for losses resulting from covered parts.
With the addition of the appointment of an independent arbiter Warrantywise ensures consumer protection, fair and unbiased resolution of any disputes.
