Car warranties

The First Group in association with a leading UK insurance group offer competitive car warranties.

You can purchase a warranty for your car at any time. If your car manufacturer warranty is coming to a close we can offer a high level of cover at a particularly competitive price. In virtually all instances, our price is significantly lower than the manufacturers extended warranty.

• Parts and labour covered
  Warranty Direct covers the cost of mechanical and electrical failure. Wear and tear to a covered part and damage to an insured part caused by an uninsured part is also covered. Others exclude such cover so beware inferior imitations! For comparison, we estimate these two items to be worth 40% of your premium.
  
  
• 100 day European cover
  Your car is covered abroad for 100 days per year.
  
  
• Breakdown Recovery
  Policy includes up to a maximum contribution of £250 toward recovery cost if breakdown is a result of failure of an insured part and if you do not have cover elsewhere. If you prefer, Warranty Direct's BreakdownCare or BreakdownCare Plus can also be purchased from us at unbeatable prices.
  
  
• Car hire
  Policy includes up to a maximum contribution of £50 per day for up to 7 days car hire if your car cannot be fixed in first 24 hours if a breakdown is a result of failure of an insured part and if you do not have cover elsewhere.
  
  
• Emergency travel
  Policy includes up to a maximum of £250 towards the cost of alternative travel (coach, train etc.) if your car cannot be fixed in first 24 hours and breakdown is a result of failure of an insured part and if you do not have cover elsewhere.
  
  
• Overnight Accommodation
  Policy includes up to a maximum of £250 towards the cost of overnight accommodation if your car cannot be fixed in first 24 hours and breakdown is a result of failure of an insured part and if you do not have cover elsewhere.
  
  
• Cover from day one
  Sudden and unknown/unexpected failures are covered from the day your policy starts. Others implement exclusion periods! Study the small print!
  
  
• Instant claims authority
  Your selected garage will call us for immediate claim authorisation.
  
  
• Direct settlement with garage
  If you select a member of our approved network for repairs we will settle agreed payments with the garage. Otherwise, we will settle with you directly.
  
  
• Your choice of garage for servicing and repairs
  Tell us when buying whether you want to take your car to a network garage or a franchised dealer/non-network garage for future repairs. Our experience of many different types of garage leads us to recommend independents for all our work - but the choice is yours.
  
  
• Failure of timing belts, when failure is within manufacturer's guidelines
  As long as you have, or have had, your timing belt changed at the recommended interval failure of the belt and resulting damage is covered.
