What is an Extended Car Warranty?

An extended car warranty is a way for you to pass the risk of your vehicle suddenly or unexpectedly suffering a mechanical or electrical failure to a covered component on to someone else.

Traditionally, an extended car warranty has traditionally been a product sold or given away by the motor dealer at the same time as the used vehicle was purchased. However, on average, a manufacturer’s warranty only covers the vehicle for the first three years of its life. After this cover expires, you are on your own…

This is where Best4 Warranty steps in and takes care of all the stress and hassle for you! Our warranty policies are designed with YOU in mind. Our company displays and lives by the principles of honesty, fairness and helping those most affected by the unexpected, something you will not find with any other extended car warranty UK brand. These values extend to the very core of our business and it is these values that will define our relationship with you.  

How do Car Warranties Work in the UK?

A car warranty prepares you for the unexpected.

Here’s a step by step of how a Best4 Warranty policy works:

1. Create a quote for your vehicle either online or over the phone with a member of our Telesales team just by answering a few questions about your vehicle.
2. Confirm your vehicle is eligible for the policy through our Policy Eligibility Criteria e.g. that the vehicle is less than 12 years old and has covered less than 100,000 miles.
3. Get your policy set up. Your documents are sent to you either vie email or post (depending on preference). These include your Policy Booklet, Policy Schedule and your Demands and Needs Form.
4. Continue to use your vehicle as normal until a potential issue occurs.
5. If your vehicle has a problem, take it to any VAT registered garage and authorise them on your behalf to carry out diagnostics of the fault (If your vehicle shows signs of imminent failure, do not continue to use it).
6. When the garage has fully diagnosed the fault of your vehicle, they must call us on +44 (0)3300 944 444 before  they carry out any repairs to advise us what the fault is and the costs of the repair.
7. If the repairs are approved, a claim number is issued for the repairs to be carried out.
