FAQs

You can cancel CarsaCover policies if needed. Typically, there's a cooling-off period (often 14 days from purchase) where you can cancel for a full refund, provided you haven't made a claim. If you cancel after that period, you may receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion, minus any admin fee, depending on the specific terms of the policy. It's best to check your CarsaCover policy documents for the exact cancellation terms, or contact us and we'll help you with the process.

To claim on the CarsaCover tyre insurance, just reach out to customer care. Let them know which tyre was damaged and how. They will usually direct you to an approved tyre center or send an inspector. If the damage is covered (like irreparable punctures or sidewall damage, depending on the policy terms), they will authorize replacement of the tyre. Follow their instructions and the tyre will be replaced under the policy (you may need to pay any excess if applicable).

No, any pre-existing damage or issues wouldn’t be covered by a CarsaCover policy. Extended warranties and insurance plans cover you for new problems that occur after the policy starts. For example, if your car already had a scratch or a mechanical fault before taking out CarsaCover, that wouldn’t be claimable. CarsaCover is there to protect you going forward against unexpected repairs or new accidental damage.

You can either pay for CarsaCover up front in a single payment, or sometimes we offer the option to spread the cost as part of your finance or via a payment plan. The details will be provided when you opt for the cover. Essentially, we try to make it convenient, either adding it to your car's finance agreement or paying separately by card. Our sales team will go over the payment options for any CarsaCover products you choose.

In most cases, yes. The extended warranty (and possibly other CarsaCover protections) can be transferred to the new owner when you sell your car privately. Just contact us or the warranty provider to let them know you’re selling the car and want to transfer the cover. They will update the details to the new owner. If you trade the car in to a dealer, it may depend on the policy conditions. But generally for private sales, CarsaCover extended warranties are transferable to the next owner.

The CarsaCover extended warranty itself doesn’t specifically guarantee a courtesy car. If your car is being repaired under warranty at one of our service centres, we can try to assist with a courtesy vehicle if available, but it's not a formal part of the cover. It might depend on availability and the nature of the repair. So, you shouldn’t assume a courtesy car is included, but we will do our best to help keep you mobile.

For a carsaCover scratch and dent insurance claim, you would contact the carsaCover insurance team (details would be in your policy documents). Usually, you'll need to provide details of the damage (often photos) and then you'll be guided to an approved repair service. They'll fix the scratch or dent and the insurance covers the cost according to the policy (minus any excess). It's important to report the damage as soon as you can to get the claim started.

If something goes wrong that’s covered by your carsaCover extended warranty, you should contact Carsa (or the warranty administrator) and let us know the issue. We'll guide you through the process, which usually involves taking the car to an approved garage or our service centre. The repair facility will diagnose the issue and, if it’s covered under the warranty, they’ll fix it and we’ll handle the costs as per the policy (aside from any excess if applicable). Always reach out to us first to get the claim authorized before carrying out any repairs.
