You never want to find out that your car warranty doesn’t protect you when you need to claim for an expensive repair, which is why we offer generous component cover at market-leading prices. You don’t have to break the bank for a comprehensive car warranty when your manufacturer’s warranty expires.
Our Gold policy suits drivers looking for great value, comprehensive coverage, reliability and transparency. Jargon-filled policy wordings and exclusions can be challenging to navigate when shopping online for the best deal. So, we outline exactly what the ALA Gold package includes so you’re clear about the cover you’re buying and its limitations.
Many insurance products come in handy when you least expect it; it’s impossible to predict when your vehicle might break down so the more coverage you can get, the more likely you are to avoid a financial predicament.. The sensible choice would be to opt for the highest coverage option within your budget for worry-free driving.
Aftermarket warranties are not a requirement – you can choose to cover the cost of replacement parts and labour yourself. Modern, more expensive cars or electric vehicles are costly to repair. A warranty policy won’t cover absolutely everything that could go wrong with your vehicle, however many drivers choose to pay the cost of a car warranty for increased peace of mind.
The Gold Warranty offers a generous named component cover at a fair price. You can benefit from coverage for vehicles which are under 12 years old and with a mileage of less than 100,000 (at the policy start date). ALA has no ongoing mileage limits so once the policy is in place coverage will continue even on an older car.

The most important consideration is your budget. For the greatest reassurance, choose the highest level of component cover that you can reasonably afford. Your warranty provider should offer a payment plan to split the cost. Gold warranty cover starts at £161.71 per year and from just £5 more per year, you could get a Platinum warranty and benefit from even better component cover.
To get the best value for money look for the following features:
All electric cars are covered for their equivalent parts. Electric Vehicle Warranty covers the EV system including the following:
In addition, cover will apply to the suspension, brakes, steering, electrical systems and more. Hybrids also benefit from cover for the fuel system.
You can split the payment across ten monthly instalments. Splitting the payment does include a small amount of interest, however, a direct debit payment plan can make car warranty much more affordable.
