Driva's Mechanical & Electrical Breakdown Warranty is similar to an extended warranty and is typically offered as an add-on policy. This type of coverage is designed to protect your vehicle's major components in the case of part failures or faulty workmanship. However, it is important to note that there is a key difference between Driva's Mechanical & Electrical Breakdown Warranty and an extended warranty. An extended warranty is a form of coverage offered by the car's manufacturer that acts as an extension to your standard manufacturer's warranty when you purchase a new vehicle. Both types of coverage provide added protection for your vehicle, but they are offered by different providers and may have different terms and conditions.

Warranties are not only for new cars. In fact, there are different types of warranties available, and some can apply to both new and used car purchases. It's important to research and compare warranties to find the best fit for your car, whether it's new or used.

You do not have to service your car at the dealership you bought it from (or another of the brand’s service departments) to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty. However, the repairer must be a licensed mechanic, who uses genuine parts and must be done per the manufacturer's servicing schedule. It is only when you have a potential claim that we will direct you to an AWN approved repairer. It’s important to note that extended warranty policies may not offer the same coverage as the manufacturer's warranty and could include special conditions you have to follow – like servicing the vehicle at a specific place during the whole warranty period. Therefore, it’s crucial to carefully review the terms and conditions of your warranty to ensure you are following them properly.

When purchasing a car, there are various types of warranties available to provide protection for the buyer. The manufacturer's warranty is typically included with the purchase of a new vehicle and covers repairs and defects for a specific period. A statutory warranty is mandated by state or territory law and provides coverage for certain defects. An extended warranty can be purchased separately to cover additional repairs and maintenance beyond the manufacturer's warranty.

Batteries are deemed as a wear and tear item thus are not covered under the Mechanical & Electrical breakdown warranty.

Warranties typically don't cover issues related to wear and tear, such as tyre wear, as they are considered normal maintenance and not indicative of a defect.
