How the Lifetime Warranty works
- Lasts as long as you keep paying. There’s no fixed end date: your Warrantywise cover carries on for as long as your Direct Debit is paid, until your car is 18 years old or has done 200,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- Provided by Warrantywise. It’s a Warrantywise warranty supplied by CarServe. Warrantywise administers it and handles claims, and your warranty schedule shows your level of cover and repair limits.
- Clear terms before you buy. The parts covered, repair limits and how to claim are set out in the Warrantywise plan book (cars, electric cars). Read it before you buy.
- Pay monthly, or a year upfront, by Direct Debit through GoCardless. Your price won’t change in the first 12 months.
What it covers
Petrol, diesel and hybrid cars get Warrantywise Gold cover. It covers parts and labour for the engine, turbo, gearbox and transmission, clutch, drive train, differential, suspension, steering, brakes and ABS, fuel and cooling systems, the main electrical parts and control units, major oil seals, the cylinder head gasket and timing belts, plus the breakdown, recovery and other services described in the plan book. Fully electric cars get Warrantywise’s EV cover instead, set out in the electric car plan book. Your warranty schedule shows your labour rate and repair limits.
A warranty helps pay for repairs when a covered part fails. Exactly what your Lifetime Warranty covers is set out in the Warrantywise plan book (cars, electric cars): the parts and systems covered, the most you can claim, any excess you pay and any waiting period before you can claim. You’ll see them before you buy, and Warrantywise sends you your policy documents once your warranty is registered.
A warranty doesn’t cover servicing or MOTs. For those, add your yearly service and MOT with Hassle-Free Motoring.
Add your service and MOT for £15.00 more a month
Hassle-Free Motoring is the same Lifetime Warranty plus your car’s service and MOT every year, with the car collected from your door. It’s £49.99 a month, £15.00 more than the warranty on its own.

Which cars can have it?

Ending it
You can cancel within 14 days, starting the day after you buy your plan, for a full refund. If you've used an MOT in that time, we'll deduct its value. After that, there’s no minimum term: you can end your Lifetime Warranty at any time by telling us, and your cover stops at the end of the last month you’ve paid for. See clause 7.6 of our terms.
