WE COVER MORE PARTS

Warrantywise constantly compare the marketplace to make sure we cover more parts, and we want to give you the highest level of warranty protection on the market. However, the option is available to you to choose a lower level of cover to suit your budget. The main point is that you can rest assured Warrantywise will provide the best level of cover to suit your needs and your wallet.

ALL MAKES AND MODELS INCLUDED

There are thousands of different makes and models on the UK roads, and unlike other warranty firms, we cover all of them. So there’s no need to waste time checking to see if your vehicle is eligible!

REPAIRS AT APPROVED REPAIRER, MAIN DEALER OR LOCAL GARAGE

You select the Labour Rate you need and then use any VAT registered repairer of your choice. Or, if you prefer we do have approved repairers we can recommend with national account facilities.

PROTECTION UP TO THE RETAIL VALUE OF YOUR CAR AT THE TIME YOU TAKE OUT THE WARRANTY

Your car will depreciate over time, but the value and use of our Warrantywise plan won’t. Whenever you make a claim you’re still protected the same as you were when you first took out the plan with us.

NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS

There’s no limit to the number of repairs you can make, and you’re covered up to the retail value of your vehicle throughout.

NO CONTRIBUTION FROM YOU TOWARDS REPAIR COSTS

Repair costs are assessed in full, unless you agree at the outset to make a voluntary contribution, for which we will reduce your price.

£500 CAR HIRE, £250 RECOVERY, £250 OVERNIGHT HOTEL, TRAVEL EXPENSES AND UNLIMITED PROTECTION IN EUROPE

£50 car hire per day up to 10 days, Roadside & recovery up to 3 claims per year (£250 limit per claim), travel expenses & unlimited cover in Europe.

MOST IMPORTANTLY. NO WEASEL WORDS

Everything is spelt out in plain English and written by Quentin Willson himself, so you can rest assured in its honesty and transparency.

WEAR & TEAR

This is where a mechanical and/or electrical part suddenly and unexpectedly develops a premature fault resulting in the part failing before your vehicle reaches 10 years of age or 100,000 miles from the date of manufacture which, if not repaired or replaced, will more than likely lead to a breakdown of the part before the expiry of your plan. Wear and tear is when a single part prematurely fails before it is expected to. This does not mean that worn out parts that have come to the end of their expected operating lives due to age and mileage will be suffering from wear and tear.

Examples of Failure due to Premature Wear and Tear

1. A 4-cylinder car usually has 4 fuel injectors. If only one of these injectors fails, however the other 3 are working as expected, then this is likely to be a premature failure due to wear and tear.
2. If an alternator ceases to charge as expected, this would be considered a premature electrical failure due to wear and tear.
3. A vehicle has 4 shock absorbers, if one suffers a failure, however the other 3 are working as expected, then this is likely to be a premature failure due to wear and tear. Example of Worn Out - End of Life.
4. If all 4 injectors are suffering from the same condition, then this would not be considered failure due to wear and tear. However, it would be considered end of life and worn which would not be covered.
5. If the alternator is noisy and/or whining but still charging, this would not be considered failure due to wear and tear. However, it would be considered end of life and worn which would not be covered.
6. If more than one shock absorber is suffering from the same condition, then this would not be considered failure due to wear and tear. However, it would be considered end of life and worn which would not be covered.

VEHICLES EXCLUDED

1. Any Vehicle without a current MoT VT20 Certificate. Any vehicle privately imported from outside of the EU and not originally supplied via the manufacturer's EU authorised dealer.
2. Any Vehicle inaccurately described within your Application, on Your Plan Schedule or which contradicts your Vehicle's V5 registration document or service history record.

4. The Breakdown or Failure Due to Wear and Tear of any Part which an Independent Vehicle Examiner identifies as being aggravated due to the Vehicle being driven on after the incident had occurred. (In such cases Your Plan will only pay the reasonable Repair Cost the Independent Vehicle Examiner believes would have resulted should your Vehicle have been stopped at the earliest opportunity).
5. Any Repair Cost request which an Independent Vehicle Examiner confirms is ‘not’ due to any Breakdown or Failure Due to Wear and Tear (as defined).
6. The Failure Due to Wear and Tear of any Part which an Independent Vehicle Examiner believes is due (in whole or in part) to a lack of any previous servicing (as recommended by the manufacturer), negligence, accident or which is revealed to be in such condition during any accident repairs.

Any Breakdown or Failure Due to Wear and Tear caused by the use of contaminated or incorrect fuel, fluid or lubricant or caused by any foreign object or debris or any flushing or cleaning not reasonably considered within the costs of a valid repair including any adjustments, alignments or software related issues.
2. Unless there is proof of Consequential Failure this Plan does not include the cost of fitting multiple Parts by your Repairer or Parts recommended for replacement by your Repairer as good engineering practice (other than for covered Parts Replaced in Pairs or those that fail the annual MoT when the MoT Addition is included) and in such cases we will exercise our discretion and usually only pay the average costs of Parts and Labour.

6. Any liability for death, bodily injury, damage to property, loss of earnings, out of pocket expenses or any other loss caused directly or indirectly by any event giving rise to a repair request under the terms of Your Plan.
7. Any liability caused directly or indirectly by war, riot or any similar event or by vandalism, theft or attempted theft from the Vehicle or by bad weather such as lightning, wind or flood.
