About Click4Warranty Extended Car Warranty Insurance

Like most of us, your car is very likely your biggest investment next to your house, and critical to the convenience of your day to day living. It’s also expensive to run and maintain these days and even more expensive to repair if it suffers a mechanical breakdown, leaving you without wheels and with the likelihood of a big bill at the end of it all.

That’s why it’s so important to consider used car warranty insurance to protect your investment against the financial risks that come with car ownership… like how you’ll afford to pay for repairs once your car is no longer covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. 

Just think for a moment. Even for those of us that can afford big repair bills, it’s a major chunk out of savings, and means that extras like holidays or other major plans have to take a back seat. And, if it’s a big repair, it can easily leave you with a bill for many hundreds of pounds and left wondering how you’ll manage to replace your savings.

What is a used car warranty?

A new car comes with a manufacturer warranty, and once this has come to an end the cost of breakdowns or failures becomes the vehicle owner’s responsibility… and, on occasion, this can have serious financial impact.

A used car warranty provides financial protection against such unforeseen mechanical breakdowns or electrical failures, paying you out to help cover the cost of repair, including parts, labour and VAT. The list of parts covered generally comprises the major mechanical and electrical components.

When should I consider buying extended warranty cover?

If your current manufacturer warranty cover is going to end soon, or it’s already ended, then now is a good time to consider taking extended warranty cover to make sure you have uninterrupted cover.

If your car is getting older and likely to see more breakdown repairs, then this is the time to consider taking this affordable protection to give you the financial assistance you’ll need and to keep you on the road and mobile.

If you’re about to buy a used car and the manufacturer warranty has already expired, you might want to think about taking out an extended warranty to give you financial protection and stress-free motoring.

Do I need a full service history before you’ll cover me?

You don’t need a full service history before we’ll cover you. Simply make sure it’s rectified within 21 days or 500 miles of your cover start date, whichever comes first. Then keep your services up to date after that, as recommended by the manufacturer.

Is there a limit to the number of claims I can make?

There’s no limit to the number of times you can claim, and your maximum benefit level per claim is the value you select. Remember too, there’s no pre-inspection and no waiting period applied.

  • Make a single payment with your credit or debit card, and you’ll enjoy used car warranty cover that will start the moment your payment is received.
  • Pay with a convenient monthly payment plan, including transaction fee, that consists of a 20% deposit in the first month, followed by just nine monthly payments to settle the balance. This is not a credit agreement, does not require any credit checks, and you’ll be covered the moment your deposit is received.

When should I get my extended warranty cover?

You can take out extended warranty cover from Click4Warranty at any stage, as long as your car is under 12 years old, and under 150,000 miles on the start date of your policy.

How long can I cover my vehicle for?

You can cover your car for 12, 24 or 36 months to give you cover for as long as you need… and you can still renew your cover at the end of this period, as long as your car is still under 12 years and under 150,000 miles on the start date of your new policy.

What if I decide I no longer want my extended warranty cover?

If you decide that you don’t need the protection that your warranty cover offers, you can cancel with a full premium refund during the first 21 days, as long as you haven’t made a claim, or don’t intend making one.

If you decide to cancel after the first 21 days, you’ll be eligible for a pro-rata refund, under the same conditions, less an administration fee of £50.
