Volvo Car Warranty

In brief - Volvo Car Warranty

Volvo can offer the option to extend the period and mileage limit of the standard 3 year/60,000 mile warranty. This enables customers, who intend keeping their Volvo beyond the manufacturer warranty period, to enjoy a similar level of protection for an extended period.

Volvo Extended Warranty Options:

• Cover option 1 - Extends your current 3 year/60,000 mile manufacturer warranty to 4 year/60,000 miles, whichever comes sooner
• Cover option 2 - Extends your current 3 year/60,000 mile manufacturer warranty to 4 year/80,000 miles, whichever comes sooner

Features And Benefits of Volvo's Extended Warranty

All cover options include the following features:

• All major mechanical and electrical parts cover - we list parts that are not covered, you are covered for everything else
• Full parts and labour cover - we pay the full costs of genuine Volvo parts and labour time required to fit them
• Claim limit is unlimited - the only limit to the amount you can claim is the price you paid for the vehicle
• Available at any time up till 3 years/60,000 miles - if you choose not to buy at time of purchase of new vehicle, you can purchase later but prices may vary

All cover options include the following additional benefits:

• Recovery charges - covers costs attached to recovering your vehicle to the nearest authorised repairer
• Replacement vehicle - keeping you mobile in a 'like for like' vehicle
• Overnight hotel expenses - helping with unexpected expenses
• Emergency travel - helping you to get to your final destination
• Continental use - ensures you are covered whilst travelling in Europe
• Consequential damage - helping cover costs on non-covered items and personal possessions

The warranty offers full protection against the cost or replacement of any factory fitted mechanical or electrical component which suffers a sudden mechanical or electrical failure.

The only exceptions are:

• Exhaust system (catalytic converters are covered), tyres and batteries.
• Parts replaced as a result of fair wear and tear including, but not limited to, clutch plates, brake shoes, pads and discs, wiper blades, bulbs and fuses.
• Damage to paintwork, trim, glass or chrome work or any damage caused by any external influence including, but not limited to, bird lime and atmospheric fall-out, stone chips and scratches.
• Bodywork and wheel corrosion.

Details Of Volvo Extended Car Warranty Cover

Vehicles should be serviced in accordance with the Volvo servicing schedule by an authorised Volvo repairer. Failure to do so may invalidate this insurance. A leeway of one month or 1,000 miles is permitted.

Should you have any doubts concerning the service requirements of your Volvo, then please contact your Volvo dealer for clarification.

Maximum Claim Limit

There is no limit to any individual claim, with the exception of claims for out of pocket expenses. However, our total liability over the warranty period is the purchase price of the vehicle (i.e. the price you paid for it).

• Recovery Charges: Recovery Charges up to £150 (including VAT).
