Even the best value and most reliable cars on the road need the right care and attention. With an extended VW Golf warranty, yours will get exactly that.
Few cars rival the reliability, powerful design and wealth of technology the Golf has to offer. With its colourful history and varying designs, the new model boasts effortless style and flair, with all the bells and whistles of a top spec vehicle. Dynamic and confident; make sure yours is covered with an extended VW Golf warranty from RAC.
However, if you’re buying a used model or the standard manufacturer cover has run its course, the cost of repairs can be just as high as any more expensive models. A VW Golf warranty can protect you from this risk and keep you covered long into the future.
Whichever level of cover you decide to choose, an extended VW Golf warranty offers superb value for money. It covers a wide range of issues that can crop up after a standard manufacturer warranty comes to an end, or if you have bought a used vehicle. Even the entry-level VW Golf warranty covers most major components – including engines and gearboxes.
You can choose between the different levels of cover below:
