What is car warranty?
A car warranty is a type of insurance that protects you from having to pay if the car develops a fault. Warranty can be supplied by manufacturers and third-party car warranty providers.
There are several different types of car warranties including basic warranty, dealership warranty, extended warranty, powertrain warranty, emissions warranty and rust and corrosion coverage.
What does the warranty cover on a car?
The cover of the car warranty will depend on the type and level of warranty you can. Typically, car warranties may cover things such as:
- Engine and fuel systems
- Clutch and gearbox
- Suspension
- Brakes
- Steering
- Air-conditioning system
- Rust
- Consequential loss, where one part failure causes the failure of other parts
