New cars usually come with a 3-year distributor warranty. However, statistics show that cars tend to break down after the third year.

The sgCarMart Warranty is underwritten by Tokio Marine, a leading global insurance company with a strong presence in Singapore. Car buyers can now purchase used cars with peace of mind.

The sgCarMart Warranty is only available for car dealerships. It is not available for consumers (yet) for direct purchase. Before committing to any used car, you should always ask your dealer to bundle the Warranty as part of the car purchase.

For dealer cars listed on www.sgcarmart.com, look out for the sgCarMart Warranty label. Check with the dealer if the car has passed inspection and is certified to be fault-free.

Do note that only your dealer can activate the Warranty for you. Activation of the Warranty will typically be done during the handover of the car.

When the dealer activates the Warranty on your behalf, you will receive an acknowledgement email. Click the link in the email and submit your acknowledgement. Once it is done, you will receive an e-copy of the Warranty booklet and Warranty certificate.

The sgCarMart Warranty is a third-party independent warranty that does not come from a workshop or dealership.

The workshops will submit the repair bill to us, and we will pay for the repairs!

This is unlike other warranty programs where the warranty provider is also the repair workshop and therefore may scrimp on repairs to lower costs. With a sgCarMart Warranty, we take out any potential conflict of interests and give the customer only the best.

Furthermore, you are free to choose where you would like to service your car without worrying about voiding your warranty.

sgCarMart Warranty starts as low as $250. The price varies depending on the duration of coverage you choose and the make and model of the car.

Most cars registered under nine years with less than 200,000-kilometre mileage will be eligible for the Warranty.

Certain sports and rare cars will not be eligible for sgCarMart Warranty. These include (but not limited to): Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Land Rover, Lotus, Maserati, McLaren, Porsche, and Rolls-Royce. Cars used for commercial purposes will also not be eligible.

Vehicles classified under Z10/Z11/R10/R11 (commercial or rental car insurance) will have to convert to a normal passenger car category N18/N19/P10/P11 (private car insurance) within seven days of ownership. If not, the car will not be eligible for Warranty coverage.

Private hire vehicles (PHV) or cars meant for commercial purposes are not eligible for the Warranty.

Of course! Assurant, a Fortune 500 company, administers sgCarMart's Warranty program, and Tokio Marine, a leading global insurance company, underwrites this program.

The beauty of the sgCarMart Warranty program is that there will not be a conflict of interests with the Warranty provider and the repair workshop. The most important thing is you, the customer.

It covers the electrical and mechanical failure of the most expensive components to repair or replace in a car - engine (petrol, diesel, turbo or supercharged, hybrid, electric), drive axle and transmission systems. The sgCarMart Warranty will cover all labour and parts costs required.

For a detailed breakdown, please refer to the list here.

Select from 6, 12 or 24-month coverage.

Cars under the 6-month Warranty coverage are entitled to ONE claim not exceeding $10,000.

Cars with coverage for 12-months or more may make an unlimited number of claims as long as the maximum accumulated claim does not exceed $10,000.

For a 6-month Warranty package - the Warranty will cover the car for the first 10,000 km (after purchase) or 6-months, whichever comes first.

For a 12-month Warranty package and above - the Warranty will cover the car until it clocks in 250,000km (based on the odometer reading) or until the duration of the Warranty, whichever comes first.

No. Go to any workshop you like! The sgCarMart Warranty does not limit you to specific partnered workshops. Remember to service your car according to the manufacturer's recommendations and always keep a copy of the service records/receipts.

As part of the on-boarding process, an inspection is required to pick out pre-existing faults. You will need to repair the faults before your car can be eligible for the sgCarMart Warranty program.

Yes, you can. Transfer of ownership is allowed for Warranty plans of 12-months and above.

Upon successful sale of your car and transfer of ownership, you will need to submit an Insurer's Transfer of Ownership Form to Assurant, the Warranty programme administrator, together with a transfer fee of 50 SGD within 14 days after the transfer.

You may contact Assurant's hotline at 8001012917.

No, you do not. With sgCarMart Warranty, there are ZERO upfront repair costs. The repair workshop will bill sgCarMart directly.

If your car has a mechanical or electrical problem, you will need to call us at 8001012917 to report the issue. Once we understand the nature of the issue, we will assign you to a workshop best equipped to repair your car at the quickest time.

If you require a tow, the customer service representative from the hotline will coordinate and provide the contact details of the repairer for towing. You will have to pay for the towing charges.

Don't worry! There will be no charges incurred for a check.

If we do find a fault covered under the sgCarMart Warranty, we will repair the defect for you at no charge.

If the fault falls outside the scope of the sgCarMart Warranty, the workshop will inform you of the costs, and they will only proceed with the repairs should you wish to.

No. Workshops will spare no expense to repair your car. Why? Because they don't need to worry about collecting money from you. They only need to submit the repair bill to us, and we will pay for the repairs!
