WARRANTY coverage for used cars is about to take on a tailored-to-fit approach.

Independent cover provider, Warranty Direct, has overhauled the way motorists can purchase, and benefit from, protection in the period after the manufacturer's policy has come to an end.

An average of 200,000 cars fall out of the maker's warranty "comfort zone" in Britain every month.

And, from now on, the type, level and cost of Warranty Direct cover available will be determined by a motorist's current circumstances, whether they own the car already, or whether they are in the process of buying from a dealer, auction or privately.

Cover can be sourced via a new interactive website (warrantydirect.co.uk) and anyone with an existing policy can benefit, too.

If you own a vehicle with a manufacturer warranty in place, and inform Warranty Direct of its expiry date, you can "extend" with the firm to come under the umbrella of their unique wear and tear inclusion policy.
