Claims process
Our Claims Process
To make a warranty claim, please follow these steps or watch our Claims Process Animation:
- Step 1
- 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.
- Step 2
- Please arrange for your vehicle to be taken to one of our listed repairers using our repairer locator.
- Step 3
- 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.
- Step 4
- 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.
- Step 5
- Our final decision on any claim will be communicated to you and the repairer in a decision document. This will confirm our cost liability.
Please note that any repairs carried out without prior authorisation from Opteven will not be reimbursed.
