Mini Car Warranty

Mini Car Warranty - in brief

Comprehensive cover provides Mini's highest level of Insured Warranty protection and covers the majority of mechanical and electrical parts of your Mini. You can purchase your Insured Warranty annually or on an ongoing, monthly basis. If you choose the monthly option, the price is fixed for 12 months.

You can choose to include an excess with your policy, which is payable only if you make a claim. Including an excess in your policy can reduce the cost of your premium.

You can choose to include MiniInsured Emergency Service with your Insured Warranty. For more details on the features and benefits of Mini Insured Emergency Service please see below. Should you choose not to include Mini Insured Emergency Service, Mini Insured Warranty Assist will only provide recovery to the nearest Mini Dealership in the event of immobilisation more than half a mile away from your home address.

Please note that Comprehensive Insured Warranty is not available for Minis over 100,000 mileage (at the time of purchasing the warranty).
