Our Claims Process

To make a warranty claim, please follow these steps or watch our Claims Process Animation:

  1. Step 1
  2. If your vehicle suffers a mechanical or electrical breakdown, please check your policy to determine if the failed item is listed for coverage under the Terms and Conditions.
  3. Step 2
  4. Please arrange for your vehicle to be taken to one of our listed repairers using our repairer locator.
  5. Step 3
  6. You must authorise the diagnosis of the issue and ask the repairer to contact us directly with their findings so we can assess a claim before the repair is undertaken.
  7. Step 4
  8. Our labour rates vary according to the product you have purchased or been supplied with. When labour (which can include diagnosis) is included, our standard labour rate is up to £60 per hour (excluding VAT), subject to terms of your warranty, so you may need to contribute to the cost as part of your claim. Please refer to your agreement Terms & Conditions to understand more.
  9. Step 5
  10. Our final decision on any claim will be communicated to you and the repairer in a decision document. This will confirm our cost liability.
