Vehicle warranty
Keeping you motoring
Protect yourself from unexpected repair bills
Our partner, Warranty Direct, offer vehicle warranty that covers you for the cost of parts and labour should an insured part suffer mechanical or electrical failure.
Vehicles are costly enough to maintain without unforeseen costs resulting from a breakdown. Once the original manufacturer or dealer warranty runs out, you’re on your own to take care of these expenses. Taking out vehicle warranty will extend your protection and safeguard your bank balance if your vehicle goes wrong.
