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.
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.
We offer multiple coverage options to align with your specific requirements and financial considerations.
Flexi Gold - 1 or 3 years of comprehensive cover
Platinum - 3 or 4 years of full cover

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