I’m new to used car warranties

An extended car warranty is a plan you can choose to take out after your manufacturer’s warranty ends. It can help with the cost of eligible repairs, depending on the level of your plan.
A manufacturer’s warranty is usually provided with a new vehicle and lasts for a set period or mileage limit, with terms determined by the manufacturer.
An extended warranty can help manage the cost of eligible unexpected mechanical or electrical repairs after the manufacturer’s warranty ends.
Car insurance and car warranties serve different purposes.
Car insurance is a legal requirement in the UK and generally relates to risks such as accidents, theft and third-party liability, whereas a car warranty is optional and is designed to help manage the cost of unexpected mechanical or electrical repairs.
Our warranty is discretionary, meaning each repair request is considered with fairness and flexibility.
We consider the details of each repair request alongside your warranty plan before making a decision.
If you’re unhappy with a decision, you can ask us to review it. If you remain unhappy, you can refer the matter to our Expert Adjudicator, Edd China, who will review the details and use his own discretion to decide the outcome. Warrantywise will act on his decision.
