A:Quotes are only available on line through the CarCare Direct web siite. However to access our quote system you must have a partner code already or choose one form our partner listings. You will then be prompted for your vehicle registration number, date and mileage of your vehicle at its last service (if appropriate) and your email address. It's that simple.

A:On our website you will find instructions and a request form where companies/organisations can register to become a Partner. Registration is simple and quick. For a list of existing Partners simply follow the links on the website. This will tell you about the Partner and any special promotion associated to them.

A:At this time we are only able to offer packages for vehicles that are less than 2 years old,  less than 50,000 miles and with a full servcie history and valid MOT (if applicable). We hope to offer a slightly different package for older cars in the near future including comprehensive warranties and MOT insurance.Watch this space or contact us and we'll let you know once that servcie is up and running.

A:Yes you can, providing that it meets the age and mileage criteria and has a full servcie history.

A:Plans are for a maximum of 3 years with a mileage cap. You cannot select a plan that would take your vehicles total mileage past 90,000 miles. The longer the plan you take the longer your peace of mind and the more those costs are spread out. However when choosing  a plan you should consider how long you intend to keep your vehicle and choose an appropriate period and ensure that you select the annual mileage band that is right for you.

A:We will monitor mileage and advise customers if we believe they will exceed the contract mileage. However it is the drivers responsibilty to choose a plan that reflects their annual mileage and to advise CarCare Direct as soon as they believe they might exceed this. A monthly top up will be available to ensure continued cover and reflect the new mileage. If the driver fails to advise us of their changed mileage they will be liable for a penalty excess mileage charge. A plan is automatically terminated once a vehicle reaches 90000 miles though the driver will remain liable for any outstanding payments and any excess mileage charges.

A:We recomend that customers choose a mileage band that comfortably meets their likely annual mileage in order to avoid any excess mileage charges. As part of our Environmental focus (Ucan2 "pass it on") we also want to encourage you to reduce your current annual mileage. If your vehicle comes in at more than 10% under planned mileage we will share any surplus spend from your total plan budget

A:Payment is a simple fixed standing order arrangement. Customers pay a deposit of about 10% of the plan and then can choose to either pay monthly or receive a small discount and pay annually. Either way all payments are interest free. If a payment is missed the contract will be immediately suspended and CCD reserves the right to cancel the agreement without refund.

A:Getting your car serviced is easy as making one call. Simply call our Driver Services Team telling them what needs doing and when would be convenient . They will then ring the nearest garages and make all the arrangements. Equally we will monitor your mileage and will look to advise you in advance. Our Driver Dervices team are open 24 hours a day 365 days a year so contacting them couldn't be simpler.

A:If you have taken out our optional breakdon cover simply call the Driver Services Team who will manage your call through to our breakdown provider or you can calll tem directly. The breakdown providers main aim is to always get you back on the road. Failing that they will have your vehicle relayed to a garage for repair. As part of this cover you will, if required, receive a courtesy car for 48 hours or receive help with yor onward travel (Uk Mainland only). If you have your own cover then simply advise our Driver Services team where yuor vehicle has been taken to so that we can manage the repair.  Our Breakdown cover offers 5 star cover (including European Assist). All of this for only £6.50 per month, when taken out with one of our Sevice Maintenance and MOT Plans.

A:Our Driver Services team will try to organise a courtesy car when requested. Please note that whilst this is a FOC service from all of our Approved garages it may cause a longer wait for a suitable date due to scarcity of courtesy cars. It can often be easier to arrange a pick up and drop off service which again our garages can offer. Whatever, the Driver Services Team will always take down your availability and requirements and ring the garages in your loaction and find the best slot that meets your needs.

A:There's no need to. The Driver Services Team will take on the responsibility of finding a convenient garage from its our own network of over 3500 approved garages not includingthe ATS Euromaster network who is our tyre and fast fti partner. Only approved garages can be used under the terms of the Service maintennace and MOT plans. Neither refunds nor payments will be made to a non approved garage that carries out work to a member’s vehicle without authorisation from CarCare Direct or its agents.

A:Partners allow CarCare Direct to acheive 2 goals. The first is to get in touch with people for whom one of our Service Maintenance and MOT plans is relevant for. In other words it's direct marketing. Our second reason is because it allows us to add extra value to our plans. This value can be in terms of direct benfits to our customers such as disounted breakdown cover, "Key Guard" insurance, vouchers etc., but in terms of the wider society our "extra value" can be seen in our carbon offset projet sponsorship and fundraising opportunity for schools,clubs and charities etc.

A:'Carbon offset projects' is a useful but sometimes misleading shorthand.  It includes 'Emission Reduction Projects' (schemes that drive the uptake of new technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions beyond 'business as usual') and forestry projects which absorb  CO2 already in the atmosphere.  All these programmes can be used to 'offset' or compensate for the emissions being produced by an individual or a business. Our calculator tool allows you to work out the specific carbon footprint for your vehicle based on your mileage. Our chosen project to support not only has an environmnetal impact but also a huge social impact in helping to reduce respiratory disease particularly for the under 5's.
