Assuming you’re purchasing or leasing from a dealer, in many cases, A-Protect doesn’t require a pre-inspection. However, we reserve the right to pre-inspect your vehicle within 90 days of the purchase. If you’re purchasing or leasing a vehicle privately, please contact us as we may require the vehicle to undergo a pre-inspection.

How many claims can I make?
You can make up to 5 claims.

In case of multiple issues diagnosed at the same time, all repairs will fall under one claim and are subject to a maximum liability limit.
Is my service agreement transferable?
Yes, you have the option of transferring your service agreement to another private party at any time during the contract term. For more details, please contact A-Protect prior to the transfer.
