You can choose to upgrade your no-fee 3-year/60,000 mile Classic Plan warranty to a Premium Plan at any time during the first year of ownership or before the first service is due.

In the unlikely event of a fault due to a material or manufacturing defect, both the labour and parts costs associated with repair or replacement will be covered. There are some exclusions but these are straightforward and sensible.

Ford Protect Premium Plans include extended Ford Assistance. So in an emergency; if you break down, run out of fuel or inadvertently lock yourself out, Ford Assistance provides the appropriate ‘Roadside’, ‘Recovery’, ‘At Home’ or European Assistance service.

Vehicle hire
If a Ford Dealer cannot complete any warranty work within twenty-four hours and your vehicle is not usable, your Ford Protect Premium Plan covers your road travel needs. You will be entitled to a comparable hire vehicle free of charge (subject to availability and status, excluding fuel and insurance costs) for up to seven days.

Scheduled servicing
This covers the cost of scheduled servicing recommended by Ford, for the number of services applicable to your plan – two or three consecutive services from the date of new vehicle sale (time limits apply). It’s an effective way to ensure inflation-proof servicing. And, of course, a full Ford Service History may enhance your vehicle’s resale value. Premium Plans must be purchased before the first standard service is due.
