Unfortunately, your warranty cannot be transferred to another vehicle.

Can I transfer my warranty to a new owner when I sell my vehicle? +-

If you sell your vehicle to a private individual, and there is still an unexpired period of protection, you will be able to transfer your agreement to the new owner. All you need to do is request to transfer your agreement by email to customersupport@autoprotect.net. There is a transfer fee of £25 payable upon request.

The unexpired term of the agreement will be transferred when the vehicle is sold, as long as all the documentation is passed to the new owner and, the vehicle has been serviced and maintained according to the manufacturer’s requirements.

What if I haven’t received my agreement terms? +-

My warranty also protects me from damage caused by wear and tear. What is wear and tear? +-

If a part breaks or fails as a result of the number of miles your car has travelled, or in the usual course of running your car, it’s considered to be failure as a result of wear and tear. This is the anticipated deterioration in performance of parts due to the car’s age or mileage.

At AutoProtect we like to keep things simple. As long as you abide by the terms of your agreement, you’ll be protected from failure due to wear and tear from day one.

Please remember to read your agreement documents for the terms and conditions of your warranty.

Does my warranty agreement cover roadside recovery? +-

Some of our warranties include a financial contribution to roadside recovery costs, as well as provide assistance with ongoing transport and/or accommodation. However, this does not apply to all agreements so it's important that you familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions of the warranty you have purchased. Please read your agreement documents for full details.

How does my warranty work? +-

An AutoProtect warranty agreement gives you solid protection against the financial impact of mechanical breakdown or electrical failure of included components, so you’re not left facing the repair bill alone. It’ll also include the cost of labour and VAT to repair or replace these parts. Some of our warranties also include protection from the cost of failure resulting from wear and tear.

This means that if your car breaks down as a result of the mechanical breakdown or electrical failure of any of the included components, as long as you abide by the terms of your agreement  we’ll pay out at the claim benefit level stipulated on your agreement schedule. 

What are the benefits of an extended warranty? +-

An extended warranty gives you valuable financial protection against your car suffering a mechanical breakdown or electrical failure that you would otherwise face alone.

We all know that when a car breaks down, there’s always the chance that the bill will amount to hundreds of pounds, if not more, and that this is money you’ll have to either take out of savings, or from something else you’ve been saving for. And, in today’s economic climate, this has even more impact on tightly strained finances. That’s why it’s so important to be sure that you have the right protection in place.

Mechanical breakdown cover is designed to help you with these financial misfortunes, subject to the terms of your agreement, by making sure you’re not alone when it comes to getting your car back on the road.

For tens of thousands of people with warranty cover, who’ve faced these repair bills, it’s been a welcome relief.

Whose name should be on my warranty agreement? +-

A warranty agreement should be in the same name as the vehicle owner.

Is an extended warranty on a used car a good idea? +-

Most cars that are no longer covered by the manufacturer warranty can be covered by an extended warranty. Check the comprehensive list of benefits on offer in your agreement documents to help you understand more about the product and its protection. Extended warranties are a good idea for vehicle owners looking to protect themselves from a sudden financial burden in the event of a mechanical or electrical failure. Breakdowns become more likely as a vehicle ages, making a warranty a good option for a used car.
