Extended Car Warranty

It can be fairly simple to plan your motor expenses. For many people, fuel usage tends to be similar from month to month, and fuel price fluctuations, while disruptive, are rarely dramatic enough to significantly affect your budget.

Other expenses occur less frequently, but can be considered part of the normal cost of maintaining a vehicle, such as regular servicing and the occasional purchase of new tyres or windscreen wipers.

The real difficulty for car owners is when unforeseeable and costly maintenance problems occur. A mechanical breakdown can render your car inoperable or unsafe to drive - and can be very expensive to repair. The labour costs alone of a mechanic or an auto-electrician can be prohibitive; not to mention the expense of replacing automotive parts.

Budgeting for breakdowns

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce or eliminate the financial strain of an automotive breakdown or malfunction.

An extended car warranty insurance policy will cover some or all of the costs of your vehicle's repairs. Particularly when the monthly contribution is consistent and moderate, an extended motor warranty makes budgeting for potential breakdowns simple and affordable.

Many car owners consider it essential to have car insurance, in case their vehicle is stolen or damaged in an accident. An extended warranty affords the equivalent protection, specifically covering the cost of automotive breakdowns.

Get the right level of cover with an extended motor maintenance warranty

Selected insurers offer extended motor warranty insurance in four cover options, so that you can get protection against mechanical breakdown at a price that suits your budget.

Generally, as long as your car is under ten years old and has under 200 000 kilometres on the clock, you can get breakdown protection for the rest of the life of your vehicle.

Vehicle maintenance

These extended motor warranty insurance plans will cover the costs of repairing or replacing vehicle components in the event of a malfunction. Certain Motor Extender options will even cover the cost of annual services. This helps with car maintenance and, by potentially preventing malfunctions, can ultimately save you money.

Roadside assistance

Along with the standard vehicle maintenance protection afforded by extended Motor Warranties, many offer further reassurance of 24 hour roadside assistance. This can prove invaluable if your car breaks down on the road. It is also a great defence against the occasional human malfunction, too, like locking your keys in the car or running out of petrol.

Breakdown assistance also includes towing and, if you happen to be driving outside of your home town, vehicle repatriation.

Prepare now, save later

Owning a vehicle is expensive enough. With an extended warranty insurance policy for your car, you no longer have to expose yourself to the risk of potentially crippling vehicle repair expenses.
