Servicing RequirementsX

Your Extended Warranty insurance should help You to keep Your Vehicle in good working order. It’s not surprising therefore to learn that You must have Your Vehicle regularly serviced in line with manufacturer’s recommendations by either the supplying dealer or a VAT registered Garage.

You must ensure that:

  1. Your vehicle has received a service within the last 12 months prior to taking out cover. (Your vehicle does not require a full service history providing it has been serviced within the last 12 months)
  2. Whilst covered by a Car Protect Warranty, your vehicle is serviced within 28 days or 500 Km (whichever happens first) from the time or mileage stipulated by the manufacturer.
  3. You keep all service invoices and receipts for servicing during the policy duration.
  4. The service details are recorded in your manufacturer service record book.
  5. The service details are recorded in the Service Records section at the back of the policy booklet.

Timing Belts: Important Notice.

In the event of a claim relating to timing belt/s failure, We will require proof that the belt has been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification. If You are in any doubt CHANGE THE BELT/S. Belt failure will cause extensive engine damage. We cannot accept liability for any timing belt failure unless accompanied by the relevant proof, and the only acceptable proof is a bona fide garage invoice. If no proof is available the claim will be rejected.

Please Note: Failure to comply with the Servicing Requirement conditions may result in the termination of Your insurance, or the rejection of a claim.

We are proud to offer our most comprehensive policy to date, exclusively available to the public. In addition to the comprehensive cover given in our Premier Plus policy, for mechanical & electrical failure, the policy also offers cover for wear and tear.

Claim Limits X

The maximum amount payable on each individual claim inclusive of VAT is 2,000 euro. This applies to all warranties purchased Directly from the Car Protect Website.

There is no limit to the number of individual claims that can be made, however the maximum amount payable during the period of your warranty shall not exceed the retail value of your vehicle.

If your vehicle has been supplied through our Dealer Network, please check the policy schedule for individual claim limit.

Fraudulent Claims X

All claims made in the first 30 days will be investigated thoroughly by the Car Protect team. We reserve the right to have your vehicle assessed by an independent vehicle assessor to determine if the fault was present in your vehicle prior to the cover start date. If the independent assessor reports that the fault first occurred prior to the policy start date, the claim will be rejected.
