Plug-in hybrid warranty UK from Buy A Warranty covers the mechanical and electrical failures that plug-in hybrid drivers in the UK actually pay for once the manufacturer term runs out. Quote online with your registration and mileage, choose your claim limit, hourly labour rate and voluntary excess, and cover can start straight away.
Cover is built around the parts that fail on plug-in hybrids rather than a generic component list. The areas plug-in hybrid drivers ask us about most are set out below, and each is included subject to the plan level and claim limit you choose.
Diagnosis, parts and labour for on-board charger and charge flap actuator are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.
Diagnosis, parts and labour for electric drive motor and generator are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.
Diagnosis, parts and labour for battery cooling circuit are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.
Diagnosis, parts and labour for petrol engine and turbocharger are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.
Diagnosis, parts and labour for DC-DC converter and high-voltage relays are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.
We arrange cover for Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, BMW 330e, Volvo XC60 T8, Kia Niro PHEV and Mercedes A250e, along with most other plug-in hybrid variants registered in the UK up to 15 years old and 150,000 miles.
Petrol, diesel, hybrid and fully electric versions are all quotable, and Northern Ireland registrations are accepted alongside GB plates.
Plug-in hybrids bought as company cars for the UK benefit-in-kind saving often reach the used market at three or four years old with the traction battery still warranted but everything around it out of cover.
PHEV cover includes both drivetrains, so you are protected whether the fault is on the petrol side or the high-voltage side.
Every quote shows the monthly figure and the pay-in-full total before you commit, with no admin fee added at checkout and a 14-day cooling-off period after purchase.
Take the vehicle to any VAT-registered garage in the UK, including a marque specialist or franchised dealer. Ask them to send us the diagnosis and estimate, we authorise the repair against your claim limit and labour rate, and we settle with the garage directly wherever possible so you are not left funding the bill and waiting for a refund.
