About car warranty
People often say that a car is a money pit and it's easy to see why. As well as the ever rising costs of petrol, insurance and tax you have the unknown quantity of what it will cost you when it goes wrong. Buying a brand new car doesn't necessarily get you off the hook either. Although you usually get a year or two's worth of manufacturer's vehicle warranty which gives you a stay of execution, the odds are long against at least some problems arising in the not-too distant future after that runs out.
However, it is possible to remove the threat of being stuck with an unexpected bill by taking out a third party vehicle warranty. Available on not just cars but vans and motorcycles too, car warranties are a relatively new concept, having begun around 15 years ago. The basic premise of a car warranty is that for either a one-off fee or a monthly payment you can cover part or all of the costs of repairing your car when one of the thousands of electrical or mechanical parts within it breaks.

The lowdown on car warranty deals
The grimace on the face of the mechanic - the one when he's about to break the news to you about how much it's going to cost to get you back on the road - that's when you know it's not going to be cheap. Unfortunately this is one of those stereotypes that are given plenty of opportunities to reinforce themselves.
If you rely on your vehicle for work or for your family, or if you live remotely, you might have no option but to pay up. And it could be thousands.
But not if you have a warranty deal. There's lots of great cover deals out there to get you back up and running when the auto-gods put the brakes upon you. We've got a selection of the finest right here on our Know Your Money comparison tables.
To get the best deal for you and your vehicle, there are a few things you need to bear in mind when you look to compare.
Firstly, price is clearly going to be a major driving force before behind your decision, but the cheapest is by no means necessarily best. You have to decide what you want cover for - all deals will cover 'wear and tear' and engine malfunctions, but suspension and brakes won't necessarily be included on the cheapest deals.
Next up, check how much you can claim for if you do need to get reimbursed for repairs. Some policies will cover you up to the maximum value of your vehicle; some will set a standard limit - whether that's above or below what your car is worth.
Thirdly, you'll need to check how many miles you've got on the clock. Some warranties won't cover you if your car's been round the block too many times. Don't worry though, unless you've been to the moon and back you should be able to find a deal, but it will cost you more. The same applies to the age of your vehicle too.
Like with other insurance products, you'll usually have to pay a small amount as an excess payment when you make a claim. The level will differ from product to product - make sure you include it in your comparison.
Before you settle on a deal, check what the process will be for getting you back on the road: where will the car be taken to be fixed? Will you have to pay the transportation costs for getting the car to the garage? Does the company make any guarantees on time? Will you be supplied with a temporary replacement vehicle while yours is out of action?
