Warranty Plans

Choose Your Cover

Two plans, both backed by Warranty First. Select the one that suits your vehicle's age, mileage, and the level of protection you want.

Flagship Plan

Recommended

Exclusive

Near-comprehensive cover - almost everything included

Up to 7 years old Up to 70,000 miles

How cover works

The Exclusive plan covers almost all mechanical and electrical components. Rather than listing what is covered, the policy lists what is not covered - everything else is included.

What is not covered

Bodywork, paintwork, and interior trim
Computer software, firmware, patches and updates (including ECU software upgrades)
Auxiliary drive belts, brackets, wiring harnesses
Diesel glow plugs, electrical connectors, engine covers
Standard 12v batteries, fuel lines, fuel filler caps
Fuses and fuse boxes, heating elements (rear screen, seat heaters), aerials
Components not originally fitted by the manufacturer

Wear & Tear cover - includes all Premier items, plus:

Cambelt (camshaft drive belt) and tensioner - up to 80,000 miles / 7 years
Turbocharger and supercharger units - up to 80,000 miles / 7 years

Additional benefits

Vehicle hire: up to £75 or 2 days (when repair exceeds 8 standard labour hours)
Hotel and transport contribution: up to £50
Diagnosis contribution: up to £100
Multimedia system cover included
Consequential damage cover - if a non-covered part fails and causes a covered part to fail, the covered part is paid for

Named Component Cover

Premier

Comprehensive named component protection

Up to 12 years old Up to 120,000 miles

How cover works

The Premier plan covers the specific named components listed below for mechanical and electrical failure. Older vehicles or higher-mileage vehicles that don't qualify for Exclusive can still access broad protection under Premier.

Claiming

Making a claim is simple

1

Report online

Submit a repair request using the online claims form at warrantyfirst.co.uk. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further as this could cause additional damage to other components.

2

Book your garage

Take your vehicle to any VAT-registered garage in the UK for a diagnosis. They will complete the diagnostic form and send it to Warranty First within 14 days of the repair request being made.

3

Repair approved

Once authorised, Warranty First covers the cost of parts, labour, and VAT for the approved repair. You pay any excess contribution stated in your plan schedule.

Optional Upgrade

Recovery Option - NCI Roadside Assistance

An optional roadside recovery upgrade is available on all plans. If you break down anywhere in the UK, call NCI Roadside Assistance on 01423 535786.
