Car Warranty

Car repair bills tend to strike when we least expect it. Whether it's a mechanical or electrical failure, the combined cost of parts and labour can often come as a shock.

A car warranty provides peace of mind against these kinds of surprises, and many people buy brand new cars because of the typical three-year warranty that comes with them, ensuring that any repairs needed during this period are paid for by the manufacturer.

An extended car warranty serves the same purpose, and doesn't cost the earth.

Would an extended car warranty benefit me?

Very few of us understand the inner-workings of the vehicles we drive. As a consequence, we leave ourselves vulnerable to expensive repair bills due to the general 'wear and tear' of the vehicle's parts.

If your vehicle's head gasket were to fail, causing overheating, the problem could cost as much as £1,000 in parts and labour.
For this reason, moneysupermarket.com has teamed up with Warranty Direct, the UK's leading provider of new and used car warranties, to offer customers comprehensive mechanical and electrical insurance.

The warranties provide peace of mind when it comes to expensive repair bills, because the car warranty covers parts and labour up to the value of the vehicle itself. The warranty also covers the cost of repairs arising from general 'wear and tear' of covered parts, which is a rare feature of an extended car warranty insurance policy.

Also, they cover any repairs needed on covered parts as a consequence of the failure of uninsured items, which often happens when a vehicle fails.
