Extended Car Warranty

Secure Your Investment Beyond Manufacturer's Guarantees

Manufacturer warranties offer limited coverage and expire over time. When you're considering a used vehicle, you're often left to underwrite the risks of mechanical and electrical failure yourself. Carplus is here to change that.

Carplus Warranty: A Safety Net on Your Journey

We aim to make your entire car ownership experience as seamless as possible.

Should you encounter any 'bumps in the road,' our warranty services ensure you're back on track swiftly and efficiently.

Why Choose Extended Warranty?

An extended warranty is especially beneficial for used car owners, safeguarding against the costs of unexpected repairs. As your vehicle ages and accumulates more miles, having this additional layer of protection is invaluable.

Extend your warranty with Carplus and drive with the assurance that comes from knowing you're covered beyond the manufacturer's terms.

What's Not Covered: Understanding the Scope of Your Extended Warranty

While our Extended Warranty offers robust protection for your vehicle, it's important to be aware of what is not covered. This helps you manage expectations and ensures that you maintain your car according to best practices.

Exclusions Include:

• Normal Wear and Tear: Components that are typically replaced during regular maintenance—such as tyres—are not covered.
• Consumables: Items like fuel, filters, screenwash, coolant, and oil are also not part of the coverage.
• Service Negligence: Repairs or replacements needed due to failure to service the car in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations are not covered.

Being proactive with regular maintenance can prolong the lifespan of your car and potentially avoid issues that fall outside of our warranty protection.

Cancellation processes:

You will have a 14-day cooling-off period from the issue date where you can change your mind and cancel your policy. You can simply email the warranty team on customercare@carplus.co.uk
