What a smart warranty covers in the UK

Cover is built around the parts that fail on smarts rather than a generic component list. The areas smart owners ask us about most are set out below, and each is included subject to the plan level and claim limit you choose.

Automated manual clutch actuator

Diagnosis, parts and labour for automated manual clutch 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.

Gear selector motor and sensors

Diagnosis, parts and labour for gear selector motor and sensors are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

Rear-mounted engine ancillaries

Diagnosis, parts and labour for rear-mounted engine ancillaries are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

EQ on-board charger and battery cooling

Diagnosis, parts and labour for EQ on-board charger and battery cooling are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

Power steering and ABS electronics

Diagnosis, parts and labour for power steering and ABS electronics are claimable up to your chosen limit when the fault is a sudden mechanical or electrical failure rather than routine servicing or wear replacement.

smart models we cover

We arrange cover for fortwo, forfour, EQ fortwo, roadster and #1, along with most other smart 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.

Why smart owners take out cover after the factory term

City-driven smarts rack up short trips and constant gear changes rather than motorway miles, which is why clutch actuator and selector faults dominate the repairs UK owners ask us about.

How smart warranty pricing works

Small city cars sit at the bottom of our price range, so the top claim limit usually costs very little extra each month.

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.

Making a smart claim

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is a smart warranty worth it in the UK?

It is worth it when a single realistic repair would cost more than the plan. City-driven smarts rack up short trips and constant gear changes rather than motorway miles, which is why clutch actuator and selector faults dominate the repairs UK owners ask us about.

Can I use my own garage for smart repairs?

Yes. Any VAT-registered garage in the UK can carry out the work, including smart specialists and franchised dealers, as long as the repair is authorised before work starts.

Does a high-mileage smart still qualify?

Yes, up to 150,000 miles and 15 years old at the point cover starts. Small city cars sit at the bottom of our price range, so the top claim limit usually costs very little extra each month.

How quickly can smart cover start?

Cover can begin immediately after purchase, or on a future date if you are waiting for a manufacturer or dealer warranty to expire first.
