What is Car Warranty

A car warranty, often referred to as an extended vehicle warranty, serves as your financial safeguard against the expenses associated with the repair of mechanical and electrical issues in your vehicle. These warranties can be issued by the vehicle's manufacturer, authorised dealerships, or specialised third-party providers, ensuring you receive comprehensive support tailored to your needs.

The scope of coverage under a car warranty is determined by the specific terms of your policy, including the level of protection you select and the company providing the coverage. To uphold the warranty's validity, it's generally required that your vehicle is serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended guidelines.

The duration of a car warranty is established through a mutual agreement, lasting for a predetermined time frame or until your vehicle reaches a specified mileage limit, allowing you to choose a plan that best fits your driving habits and longevity expectations.

We only provide Insured Warranties

At DirectCarWarranty.co.uk you can be assured that we only provide insured warranties. What does this mean?

Not all warranties are insured and if you buy an uninsured warranty, you are not fully protected by the FCA, FSCS Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service. You are reliant on the company themselves to provide full financial protection, with no back-up in place. 

With a policy from DirectCarWarranty.co.uk you have peace of mind knowing we’re directly regulated by the FCA and must adhere to their strict guidelines and you will always be able to claim compensation from the FSCS if, in the unlikely event, our insurer couldn’t meet it’s financial liabilities - protection you do not have with uninsured policies.

Do I need car warranty?

Warranty1

Purchasing a new vehicle typically comes accompanied by a manufacturer's warranty, providing coverage for up to 3 years or a specified mileage threshold. Brands like Hyundai and Kia are notable for offering extended protection, enhancing your confidence in the vehicle's reliability from the moment of purchase.

However, the reality is that many motorists drive vehicles that aren't fresh from the showroom. For those navigating the roads in older models or contemplating the acquisition of a pre-owned vehicle, an extended car warranty can become indispensable.

Our extended car warranty plans are meticulously designed for individuals who plan to extend their vehicle's service life well past the expiration of the original manufacturer's warranty. This level of coverage is especially crucial for those purchasing a second-hand car, given that the initial warranty often does not extend to subsequent owners. An extended car warranty from our range can bridge this gap, offering the tranquillity of knowing that unexpected repair costs are manageable.

One compelling argument for securing a car warranty is the potential financial impact of vehicle repairs. The prospect of facing steep charges for unforeseen breakdowns can be daunting. Opting for a car warranty with us can mitigate these concerns, providing a cost-effective solution to maintaining your vehicle's health and peace of mind.

Why choose Direct Car Warranty as your Warranty provider?

So, you’ve purchased your new car and you’re seeking a robust warranty at a reasonable cost. Here are just some of the many reasons why Direct Car Warranty is perfect for you:

No Excess:

In today's climate, minimising unexpected expenses is crucial. That's why, at Direct Car Warranty, we ensure that you're not burdened with any excess fees when filing a claim. Unlike some providers who impose a hefty mandatory excess, thus escalating the cost of car warranty repairs, we prioritise making your repair process as affordable as possible.

Realistic Claim Limits

The maximum claim amount available through your car warranty is determined by both the level of coverage you select and the value of your vehicle.

  • Silver Plan: You can claim up to £2,000 or £5,000
  • Gold Plan: Your claim can be up to £2,000 or equal to the Vehicle Value
  • Platinum Plan: Claims can reach up to £5,000 or match the Vehicle Value 

Should you opt for the Vehicle Value as your maximum claim limit, it will be capped at your vehicle's market value at the time your policy was purchased, as estimated by Glass’s Guide (an industry-standard tool)

FSCS Protected

You're protected with us on every front. Our use of established UK underwriters, combined with our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), enables us to provide you with superior warranty products and ensure your investment in our policies is secure.

The Financial and Legal Insurance Company Limited backs our extended warranties, offering further reassurance. Like all our underwriting partners, they are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, offering an extra layer of protection.

Cover From Day One

Enjoy immediate coverage without the need for a pre-inspection! Our approach differs from other online services; we'll only enquire about your car's maintenance record with some straightforward questions. After that, you're all set. The best part? The entire process can be completed online, eliminating the need for any inspections.

Excellent Service

At our core, service excellence is our paramount commitment, and the positive feedback from our customers is a source of immense pride for us. This, we believe, stems from our approach: instead of operating a call centre, we are a dedicated UK-based team of experts with in-depth knowledge of cars, warranties and other motoring products. Moreover, our team is not incentivised by sales commissions, ensuring their advice and actions are always aligned with your interests. However, don't just take our word for it – the glowing testimonials from our customers are a testament to our service quality.
