You recently acquired your new car. You can memorize its specifications and features. You have made the necessary insurance arrangements and are aware of your monthly repayment obligations. If the car has a service or maintenance plan, do you know what it all means and what each of these covers? If not, did you check the manufacturer warranty?

In the event of an unplanned breakdown or repair, car warranty cover can be a crucial component of your car ownership. Alongside your insurance plan, warranty cover can provide you with a sense of security both mechanically and financially.

Your warranty is focused on protecting you from pricey repairs because of unplanned breakdowns, whereas your insurance is focused on shielding you in the event of an accident or theft. Here are our top five reasons as to why you should get an extended warranty once the manufacturer's cover has expired:

• Protection against unforeseen repairs: if your car develops unexpected mechanical or electrical issues, having a warranty can spare you from having to pay hefty repair bills.


• The assurance during breakdowns: even if the breakdown is not a result of an accident, you can rest easy knowing that any required repairs can be covered by your warranty if specified.


• Authorised and skilled mechanics: to guarantee that repairs are made correctly and quickly, your car warranty can be serviced by authorized and skilled mechanics. By doing this, you can steer clear of any problems that might arise from inexperienced and unqualified mechanics.


• Cost effective: in the long run, protecting your car with a warranty can save you money because it may prevent you from having to pay for pricey repairs that would otherwise leave you out of pocket.


• Benefits of service history: a car with a long and successful service history can benefit you in the long term if you’re looking to sell your car or trade it in.
