Best4 answers the important question of what happens to your warranty when you sell your car.

A Best4 used vehicle warranty offers valuable protection against mechanical and electrical failure. Not only will we pay for parts and labour charges, but policies can include roadside assistance, recovery and homestart, wear and tear cover and no component contribution charges.

But what is you decide to sell the car you have a warranty on? Does the warranty stay with you or with the car? Is a car warranty transferable when you sell your used car?

Unlike insurance where the driver is insured rather than the vehicle itself, warranty provides cover on the car NOT the driver (this means we need no personal details about the driver). Because of this, the warranty will no longer be yours once you sell the vehicle.

However, when it comes to selling your car, providing no claims have been made and subject to the agreement, you are able to transfer the remaining cover to the new owner.

When transferring your warranty, you must ensure the new owner are a private individual and that the DVLA are notified of the change of ownership to them.

Here are some questions our customers have asked about transferring their warranty?
