What isn’t covered
Our warranty covers almost all mechanical & electrical components fitted to your car against unexpected failure. The number of parts covered by our warranty far exceeds the specific parts that we don’t cover.
No insurance covers everything so there are terms & conditions.
For example our policy does not cover parts that are replaced as part of servicing or maintaining a car like bulbs, filters, fuses tyres, brake pads & discs. We do note cover wiring & connections, rubber/plastic pipes & unions or when a fault is ignored and instead the car is continued to be used potentially causing further damage that could have been prevented.
We do not cover the exhaust system as majority of issues are due to corrosion. We do not cover the air bag system as the majority of issues are due to premature detonation or wiring issues. We do not cover glass (including heated screens) bodywork or internal or external trim. Read more

How do I make a claim?
Please first call Defend Insurance on 0161 4514803 to report the fault, they will take a few details and advise the claims procedure including your nearest approved repairer.
How do the claim limits work?
You can claim up to £5,000 per claim and make as many claims as you need to up to the purchase price of your vehicle.
The most the warranty will pay towards the labour cost to repair your vehicle is £70 per hour. For example if your chosen repairer charges £60 per hour we will pay £60 per hour, If they charge £80 per hour we will pay £70ph.
Claim limits are inclusive of VAT
For example you purchased the car for £18,000 last year and bought a One Car Warranty today. Your total claim limit is therefore £18,000. In 2 months time your cars electric window motor fails, the motor cost £140 and 2 hours at £60ph to replace including VAT. That’s £260 so well within your £5,000 claim limit and your remaining total claim limit is now £17,676.
