WMS Warranties and VGS Guarantee
Our car and van warranty products range from the basic 2* cover for vehicles purchased over £1,000 (covering the engine, gearbox, drive system, electrical, brakes, steering, cooling system and casings); through to our comprehensive 5* cover for vehicles up to 5 years and 60,000 miles at inception. The 5* plan covers all of the mechanical and electrical items, plus wear & tear can also be included for an additional premium. Periods of cover available for car and van warranties range from 3 to 36 months with claim limits ranging from £200 per claim to the original vehicle purchase price and will include parts, labour and VAT. We also offer some fantastic incentives for vehicle buyers such as receiving 50% extra cover free of charge when upgrading to a longer term.
Rescue & Recovery
We have six levels of breakdown policy available for all cars, vans and motorcycles up to 3.5 tonnes including UK cover; European cover; commercial vehicle recovery for all commercial vehicles up to 16 tonnes and Mobility products for electric wheelchairs and scooters. Our breakdown products will include roadside repairs and assistance, home assistance and relay as standard. Periods of cover available are from 3 to 36 months with up to 6 call outs per year permitted.
Combined GAP/RTI
Return to Invoice (RTI) will pay the financial shortfall between the original invoice price and the market value in the event of the vehicle being declared a total loss following accidental damage, fire or theft. In addition, if the amount required to settle the finance agreement is higher than the original invoice price, finance GAP will pay the higher figure. GAP/RTI is available for all cars up to 10 years and 100,000 miles at the time of claim, with claim limits ranging from £5,000 to £20,000.
Further product information
WMS warranties, also known as Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI), are available for FSA registered dealerships. VGS products on the other hand are for non-FSA registered dealerships – this means that dealerships will need to be signed up as Appointed Representatives of the WMS Group to begin trading with us. All of our warranty products automatically include European cover, vehicle recovery, car hire, overnight accommodation & rail fare and the opportunity to apply for transfer of ownership. Maximum claim liabilities indicate the amount we will pay per claim, with no restriction to the number of claims permitted. Unlike most warranty companies, we won’t apply an excess if a claim is made either. Please note that all of our policies specifically exclude service or ancillary items.
