How much is my monthly payment?

The monthly payment depends on the car price, your deposit, the finance term, and the interest rate. Each car on our website can show an example finance quote with an estimated monthly payment. For a precise figure, we’d tailor a quote to your situation. We’d need to know how much (if anything) you want to put down, which car you are interested in and over how many years. For PCP we would also need to know your annual mileage. Then we can tell you exactly what the monthly cost would be.

When will my CarsaCover payments start?

If you're paying upfront, it's paid at the time you purchase the policy (usually when you buy the car). If you're paying via a monthly plan or as part of your car finance, then the payments will start alongside your car finance payments – typically one month after you collect the car. Essentially, there's no delay: you'll either pay at purchase or your installments will begin in the first billing cycle after the sale.

Will my data be shared with Assurant?

Yes, if you take out a CarsaCover policy, we will share the necessary information with Assurant (the underwriter) to set up and administer your cover. Your personal data will be handled securely and only used for the purposes of providing the insurance/warranty service. We don't share data beyond what's required for your policy.

What is CarsaCover?

CarsaCover is the name of our extended warranty and insurance package offerings. It refers to the optional plans you can get for added peace of mind after the standard 90-day warranty. Under CarsaCover, there are products like extended mechanical breakdown warranty, as well as cosmetic protection plans (like scratch & dent, alloy wheel cover, tyre insurance, etc.). It’s basically our suite of aftercare insurance products to help cover you against unexpected costs.

Does Carsa offer delivery?

Yes. Carsa offers optional home delivery across most of mainland UK. We use a trusted logistics partner to provide this service, and the fee we charge simply covers what they charge us to move the vehicle safely to your address. If you choose home delivery, there is an additional delivery fee to cover the transport cost. The amount depends on the distance (we’ll let you know the exact fee upfront before you commit). If you opt to collect the car from one of our branches, there’s no fee for collection. So, collection is free, and delivery has a charge which varies by location.

Is collection available to everyone?

Can I pay for CarsaCover in one payment?

Yes, you can choose to pay for CarsaCover upfront in a single payment. If you prefer, you might also have the option to spread the cost (for example, adding it to your monthly finance). But a one-time payment is absolutely fine and many people do pay the full amount at purchase.

How can I visit a Carsa store?

You can visit any Carsa branch during its open hours. For a Click & Collect, it’s best to have arranged your purchase or reservation online first, then you’ll come in to pick up the car. If you just want to look around or speak with our team, you’re welcome to drop by, but if you want to see a specific car, we recommend booking an appointment so the car is there and ready.
