What is a car warranty?
Also known as mechanical breakdown insurance, a car warranty is a service that's designed to act as a 'safety net' in the event of your car breaking down. While not all warranties are equal, and policies differ in what they cover; generally a car warranty will cover all significant parts of repair in the event of a failure. Alongside direct repair costs, these kinds of warranties also include additional factors such as labour and hiring a replacement car for the duration of the repair.
