    Click4Warranty do not have an annual mileage clause.

    Safety of our policy holders is paramount, so we don't expect you to continue driving with a faulty or failing part.

    Therefore, if an insured part is identified as likely to suffer imminent breakdown by a suitably qualified engineer during MOT, claims are considered in the normal way.

  • Covers failure of insured parts identified at service

    Safety of our policy holders is paramount, so we don't expect you to continue driving with a faulty or failing part.

    Therefore, if an insured part is identified as likely to suffer immenent breakdown by a suitably qualified engineer during routine servicing or maintenance, claims are considered in the normal way.

  • Choose any level of cover

    Click4Warranty are the only online Warranty Company where policy holders can select any level of cover if the car is under 12 years old and/or 150,000 miles at the start of the policy (no limit once cover starts).

  • Choose any claim limit

    All Click4Warranty policies, provide a choice of three substantial claim limits, £3,000, £5,000 and £7,000. This is the maximum amount that can be claimed for each breakdown.

    There is no limit to the number of claims that can be made.

    Like all warranty companies, the aggregate (combined) amount that can be claimed on the policy is the retail value of the car.

  • 21 days to change your mind with full refund

    If you decide you don’t want the warranty insurance you have bought, for whatever reason, UK insurance rules give you a 14-day “cooling-off” period. Click4Warranty go further and provide 21 days!

    Simply let us know you have decided to cancel your policy within three weeks of purchase, and your policy terms provide for a full refund of all premium paid.

    Click4Warranty policies are enforceable “contracts of insurance”, the Insurer is legally bound by the policy terms.  This means you can be assured refunds are not decided at our discretion.

    A full refund within the cooling-off period is your right unless we have paid, authorised or incurred costs in relation to a claim.

    If you have only discussed a claim or possible failure, and no costs incurred, you will still receive a full refund of premium paid after deducting the admin fee.If you would like more information on refunds and cancellations - CLICK HERE

  • Daily rate refund after cooling off period

    While we hope you choose to continue with your warranty insurance for the full term, unlike typical online warranties and discretionary plans, we don’t expect you to pay for the full term if you decide to cancel after the cooling-off period or unfairly calculate a low “partial” refund.

    If you decide to cancel after 21 days, as long as claims haven't been paid, authorised or costs incurred, you will only need to pay premium calculated on a pro-rata daily rate basis for the time your policy has been in force plus an admin fee.

    If you are paying by monthly instalments, and the premium paid at time of cancellation is lower than the total due, plus the admin fee, you will only need to pay the additional amount and all future monthly payments would be cancelled.

    Again, the terms provide our policy holders the guarantee of this reduced pro-rata daily rate.If you would like more information on refunds and cancellations - CLICK HERE

  • Claims settled directly with repairer wherever possible

    To save you being out of pocket, whenever possible, we will settle the bill with the repairing garage.

    This is largely achievable when repairs are carried out by our approved repairer, Halfords Autocentres, one of the UK's leading MOT, car service and repairs specialists - voted “excellent” on Trustpilot with over 60,000 reviews.

    Our policy holders do have the option of using their own repairer, if they are vat registered, and ensure the claims procedures are followed.

    If you do prefer to nominate your own repairer, you will need to settle the bill with the garage directly. Please ensure you contact the claims department before any work is carried out.For more information on how to claim - CLICK HERE

  • Recovery included as standard

    Whatever level of cover, or claim limit, you choose, every policy provides up to £100 toward the cost of recovering your car to a repairing garage as result of failure of an insured part if you do not have cover elsewhere.

  • Car hire included as standard

    We will pay toward the cost of hiring a car, up to the daily limit of your policy, for up to 7 days and a maximum of £210.

    This benefit starts after the first 24 hours your vehicle is out of use as long as it is not due to a lack of availability of parts or a delay in starting the repair.

  • Emergency accommodation and travel included as standard

    All policies include up to £60 towards hotel expenses or a return rail ticket if your car cannot be fixed in first 24 hours, breakdown is a result of failure of an insured part and if you do not have cover elsewhere.

  • Cover when driving abroad included as standard

    All Click4Warranty policies include up to 60 days per annum [pro rata] for driving in the Republic of Ireland and mainland Europe for repair or replacement following breakdown of insured parts up to your chosen claim limit.

  • Repairs guaranteed for up to 12 months

    Repairs carried out at the approved repairer are guaranteed for 12 months or 12,000 miles and, whenever possible, we settle the bill with them directly, so you aren't out of pocket.

  • Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protected

    As all Click4Warranty policies are insured and we are FCA Authorised and Regulated, our policy holders are automatically protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) - the UK’s statutory compensation scheme for customers of authorised financial services firms.

    The FSCS can pay compensation if a firm is unable, or likely to be unable, to pay claims against it. It is an independent body, set up under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA), and is funded by a levy on "authorised financial services firms". FSCS is free to consumers and, since 2001, has helped more than 4.5 million people and paid out more than £26 billion!

    EXAMPLE: On the 28th July 2016, the FSCS declared Enterprise Insurance Company PLC in default, and worked closely with the liquidator to establish the best way to help its policyholders. UK policyholders were protected by the FSCS where Enterprise could not meet the cost of claims made against it.

  • Limitations

  • Diagnostics

    Typically, a repairer can identify the cause of a fault, and replace or repair the part, without any need to dismantle the car or spend time fault finding.  When this happens, and the warranty provides cover for the failure, the warranty pays toward the labour cost of repairs in the normal way.

    On occasion though, the fault needs investigating to identify what is causing the part to fail.

    Like all good warranties, Click4Warranty include cover toward diagnostic, or dismantling costs, if they are part of a valid claim and included in the workshop labour time for the repair.

    Where the labour time charged by a garage is to identify the fault, rather than it being part of the repair itself, the cost of labour time isn’t included in the repair and therefore won’t be included in the amount paid by a warranty.

    We don't believe it ethical to imply warranties cover “all” diagnostic costs, but unfortunately not all online companies share our ethical approach.

    If you’ve been led to believe all diagnostic costs are covered, simply check the small print.  You’ll find phrases like: -
    "Your Plan will pay for diagnostic or dismantling work only if assessed by us as being reasonable within the repair Cost of a valid repair. It is your responsibility to authorise (at your own expense) any diagnostic or dismantling of any part of your Vehicle."

    Or even worse, one website advertises “Forget unexpected repair bills Covers parts, labour and diagnostics”, but in their small print is says...
    "we will pay, at our absolute discretion, towards the cost of diagnosing the fault and repairing the vehicle up to the plan limit….” Needless to say, the website sells unregulated, uninsured, plans.

    Always ensure the warranty you buy is fully insured and regulated by the FCA.

  • Overheating

    Click4Warranty offer cover for the parts that commonly cause overheating, these include...
     - Engine cooling system
     - Thermostat Water pump
     - Thermostatically controlled radiator fan motor
     - Radiator
     - Cylinder head gasket

    Warranty terms require policy holders to undertake a duty of care. This will always include your not continuing to drive the car if the vehicle is faulty.

    That being the case, as to the best of our knowledge it's not possible for your car to overheat with the engine switched off, is it correct to advertise specifically that overheating is covered?

    For this reason, although we cover the parts listed above, we don't advertise overheating is covered.

  • Do Insured Warranties Take Longer To Settle Claims?

    No, absolutely not.

    Yes!

  • Will I get a refund if I cancel?

    If you decide you simply don’t want the warranty insurance you have bought, for whatever reason, UK insurance rules give you a 14-day “cooling-off” period. Click4Warranty go further and provide 21 days!

    While we hope you choose to continue with your warranty insurance for the full term, if you decide to cancel after the cooling-off period, unlike typical online warranties and discretionary plans, we don’t expect you to pay for the full term or unfairly calculate a low “partial” refund.

    As long as claims haven't been paid, authorised or costs incurred, you will only need to pay premium calculated on a pro-rata daily rate basis for the time your policy has been in force plus an admin fee.Please refer to the cancellation guide for detailed information - CLICK HERE

  • Can I buy your warranty now and start it when my current one ends?

    Absolutely yes, now is the perfect time to put your cover in place.

    By acting now, you’ll be able to buy tomorrows warranty at todays price.

    Your Click4Warranty policy will start from the date commencing immediately after expiry of the manufacturers' guarantee or existing warranty period.

  • Must a Click4Warranty policy be purchased by the car owner?

    A Click4Warranty policy can be purchased and paid for by a third party, just enter the name and address of the person you would like to be the policy holder.

    This should be one of the person named on the V5 registration document or the owner of the car.

  • Can I transfer my warranty policy?

    If you have sold your car to a private buyer a warranty is a valuable tool and can be transferred to the new owner.  Simply contact our UK based consultants on 0208 819 3424 or email@click4group.co.uk with your policy details and the new owners name and address.  A £25 contribution from you toward the administration costs will be required, which can be paid by debit or credit card.  Conditions do apply, for example we cannot transfer the policy if you sell your car to a motor dealer.

  • Can I pay monthly?

    If you prefer not to pay for your warranty in full, we offer a unique monthly payment facility which provides a massive saving on the typical offering where you have to pay a premium every month the policy is running.

    With Click4Warranty you spread the cost of any one, two or three year policy by paying a 20% deposit followed by just 9 monthly payments.
    - No credit check
    - No direct debit requirement
    - No credit agreement
    - No change in premium if interest rates increase

    Your monthly payment is collected on the first working day of each month from your original payment card.

    One more reason Click4Warranty premiums are so affordable!

  • Is consequential loss or damage covered?

    Firstly lets explain what consequential loss or damage means.

    It’s a term used to mean damage to a previously fully functioning part caused by another part, object or debris.

    All Click4Warranty policies DO provide cover if a LISTED PART (insured component) breaks and causes a previously fully functioning LISTED PART (insured component) to fail.

    Listed parts (insured components) are not covered if they are damaged by an uninsured part and, as with all warranty insurance, uninsured parts are never covered.

  • How soon can I make a claim?

    Click4Warranty have no hidden clauses imposing waiting periods.

    Every Click4Warranty policies provides cover from DAY ONE toward the cost of repair or replacement of insured parts due to sudden mechanical failure or wear and tear.

    Some other companies don't pay for a breakdown that occurs in the first 30, 60 or even 90 days of cover! This means a 12 month policy would only provide cover for as little as 9 months! Worth checking the small print.

    Please note that in the unlikely event your claim is within the first 30 days in relation to the ecu, air-conditioning and electrical system, an additional excess will apply. This applies only to these parts and for the first 30 days only.

  • What if I'm unhappy with your service?

    As a motor related Insurance Company, we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. 

    As such, we have a duty of care to our policy holders to ensure we are transparent at all times delivering clear information and exceptional customer service online and offline.

    When we learn of any concerns, they are addressed immediately at the highest level, if we fnd we got it wrong, it will be put right.

    Unlike customers of unregulated online sellers, there is further recourse for our policy holders as any final decision doesn't rest with us.  Our policy holders benefit from the right to take their concerns to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

    The Financial Ombudsman Service is a government department that settles disputes between consumers and UK-based businesses providing financial services. They make decisions based on what they believe to be fair and reasonable, and it is they that have the final decision, not us or a representative of our company. The decision is legally bindings and free to our policy holders.For details of our complaints policy - CLICK HERE

  • What is IPT?

    Insurance premium tax (IPT) is a tax introduced by the government in 1993 that is applied to all general insurance policies including motor insurance, GAP insurance, warranty, and home insurance.

    Once collected by us, it is paid to the government in much the same way as is done with VAT.

    As an online provider of insured warranties, all Click4Group policies are subject to standard rate IPT and all our advertised and quoted premiums include this amount.

    Of note, is uninsured “plans” (being sold online as a warranty) are subject to 20% VAT, not IPT, as they are not an insurance.  An easy way to spot if you are in danger of being sold an unregulated product.

  • Do you cover imported cars?

    Parallel Import cars that have been produced for a European Member State and conform to European Wide Type Approval, qualify for cover.

    Grey Imports, cars that don't comply with European Union vehicle type specification and are imported from outside the UK, such as Japan, do not qualify for cover.

  • Does the cost of 4x4 cover differ on 3, 4 and 5 Star Warranties?

    Clarity and simplicity of choice is acheived by one clear set of terms, with three levels of cover to choose from, the star rating indicates the extent of parts that are covered.  This unique "one policy approach" ensures you need only refer to one document when selecting the best cover for you.  

    As the name would suggest, the 5 star policy offers the most comprehensive cover with the highest number of insured components.

    Some of these additional parts are four wheel drive components, therefore the 4x4 cover on the Four and Five Star policies respectively offer superior cover and therefore carry a modest increase in premium.To view a list of the parts covered - CLICK HERE

  • Do you cover electric, hybrid and LPG vehicles?

    Sorry, Click4Warranty policies exclude electric, hybrid or LPG powered vehicles so we are not able to provide cover for these vehicles.

  • Are Subaru Impreza P1 covered by your warranties?

    The Subaru Impreza P1/WRX models are excluded from cover under the Click4Warranty policy terms.

  • Does a warranty cover routine maintenance and consumable items?

    Car Warranties don't cover the cost of routine maintenance or replacement of consumable items such as tyres, batteries, windscreen wipers, brake pads; or vehicle structure such as bodywork, paintwork, glass, wheels etc.

    Your Click4Warranty policies provide protection, from day one, toward the cost of parts, labour and vat for the repair or replacement of insured parts due to wear and tear, sudden mechanical failure or identified as likely to suffer imminent breakdown by a suitably qualified engineer during routine service or MOT.

    For the avoidance of doubt, we provide a clear, comprehensive list of all the insured parts so you don't have to study an exclusions list to work out what the warranty won't pay for.This simple chart clearly lists the parts insured under our 3, 4 and 5 star policies. - CLICK HERE

  • Do your warranties cover DSG Gearbox?

    A direct-shift gearbox, commonly abbreviated to DSG, is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox, in a transaxle design without a conventional clutch pedal.

    In simple terms, a DSG is two separate manual gearboxes (and clutches), contained within one housing, and working as one unit.

    Subject to your chosen policy limits, your Click4Warranty policy will pay toward the costs of parts and labour for repair or replacement of listed components of the gearbox cover, however your policy excludes DSG specific components.To view a list of the parts covered - CLICK HERE

  • Do your warranties cover SMG Gearbox?

    The BMW SMG transmission has both automatic and manual shift modes.

    SMG stands for Sequential Manual Gearbox. It's essentially a transmission capable of functioning as an automatic, or functioning as a manual transmission. The innovation is that, when functioning as an automatic, the driver does not need to operate a clutch pedal, simply designate desired gear. This is done by a traditional stick, or a set of paddle shifters attached to the steering column or steering wheel, depending on the model BMW.

    As an SMG gearbox is not a standard automatic or manual gearbox, whilst the car is not excluded, the gearbox itself is not covered.To view a list of the parts covered - CLICK HERE

  • Is the dual-mass flywheel covered?

    We are delighted to confirm that the dual mass flywheel is an insured part, listed as covered on all Click4Warranty 3, 4 and 5 Star policies.

    A dual-mass flywheel (DMF or DMFW) is a rotating mechanical device that is used to provide continuous energy (rotational energy) in systems where the energy source is not continuous, the same way as a conventional flywheel acts, but damping any violent variation of torque or revolutions that could cause an unwanted vibration.

    Unlike many warranty providers, we steer away from broad statements about the parts covered by our policies. To describe cover as ‘all mechanical and electrical components’ really means that, if you want to be sure a part is covered, you need to laboriously work out what really is excluded.

    Instead, you will see our terms and conditions comprehensively list the insured parts and, quite simply, if a part isn’t listed it isn’t covered... If it is listed, then the part is covered!To view a list of the parts covered - CLICK HERE
