Hi Reiss Paul,

Waste of money
I believe we were missold this so called warranty.
Reading the small print reveals Handler will pay only £40 per hour Labour charges. Which decent garage or repair centre charges less than £60-£80 per hour for labour?
The number of exclusions means I wasted £200 on a warranty that is absolute rubbish
Avoid at all costs
A generic reply from Handler.
My car needed 4 x new cold start injectors. Not covered by warranty.
A new L/H screen washer pipe and nozzle. A complete unit which is a Main Dealer part only. Not covered by warranty.
I accept and understand consumables are not covered however cold start heater plugs cannot ever be described as consumables nor can the screenwash pipe and nozzle unit.
It is pointless to try and blame the supplying dealer, he sells your product . Furthermore where do you think any garage charges only £40 per hour for labour? Not in this world.
I stand by my original comments.
Bit of confusion
I wrote the comment but the vehicle was sold in my wife's name.
Email me direct and I will provide her details.
Problem resolved thanks to Cian at Handler Protect
Items covered and paid for.
Excellent customer service.

Hi Colin,
We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way.
Following your review, we asked for your details so we could look into the matter for you. However, using the name, phone number and email address you provided, we have been unable to locate any repair plan on our system that matches those details.
Händler Protect does not sell repair plans directly to customers. The plan is arranged by the selling dealership at the time the vehicle is purchased, and the dealer selects the level of cover, contribution limits and the terms that apply.
Without the correct information we are unfortunately unable to review the situation you are referring to. If you do have a Händler Protect repair plan, please contact our team directly with the vehicle registration or repair plan number and we will be happy to investigate this further for you.
Best regards,
Händler Protect

Bunch of c*nts
They make it as inconvenient as possible to make a claim, then reject your claim, then make it a pain in the arse to appeal that claim.
They rejected my claim for a faulty camshaft position sensor saying that it's "due to the age of the vehicle". Camshaft sensors are covered in their plan. What's the point of saying you cover camshaft sensors if you're just going to deny it?

Antwoord van Händler Protect
Hi Reese Hayman,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with the outcome of your repair request.
While camshaft sensors may be listed as a covered component under the plan, a repair can only be approved where the evidence supports a sudden mechanical or electrical failure that meets the plan definition. Claims are not declined based on vehicle age alone, however if the information provided indicates that the fault is related to wear, deterioration, or a condition developing over time, it would not meet the criteria for authorisation.
We can also see that Cian has been trying to contact you to discuss the claim and explain the decision if you would like to contact him so he can go through everything with you.
Best regards

"Gold Cover" is a scam – Rejects claims for covered parts and ignores safety risks.
Do not trust Händler Protect. I was forced to take their "Gold Cover" as a mandatory part of my car purchase, only to find out it is practically worthless.
My clutch slave cylinder – a part explicitly listed as covered on Page 4 of the policy – failed after only 2,458 miles. Despite this ridiculously low mileage, Händler Protect rejected the claim (Ref: 36652251/C1), dismissively calling it "wear and tear."
The most frustrating part is their "customer service." They have now completely stopped responding to my emails. Every time I tried to reach out, I received nothing but a generic, dismissive "copy-paste" response that didn't address any of my points regarding safety or the policy terms.
Because the failure caused a leak in the hydraulic system shared with the BRAKES, it posed a severe safety hazard. Since they ignored my appeals and stopped communicating, I had to pay £630 out of my own pocket to make the car safe.
The matter is now with The Motor Ombudsman (Case: 00314580) and is being reported to Trading Standards. Avoid this company at all costs – they take your money and disappear when you need them.

Hi Przemek,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt frustrated during the process.
For clarity, while the clutch slave cylinder may be listed as a covered component, repairs can only be authorised where the evidence confirms a sudden mechanical or electrical failure that meets the repair plan definition. Where the information initially provided indicates wear, deterioration, or a condition developing over time, the repair would not meet the criteria for approval under the plan terms.
In this case, once the full information was reviewed, the claim was approved and payment was issued toward the repair. We’re pleased that the matter was ultimately resolved and that a contribution could be made toward the cost.
Best regards

Absolutely useless and not worth the…
Absolutely useless and not worth the paper it's written on. My warranty came with the purchase of a new car. I made a claim and despite the quote for repair being within the value covered by the warranty, the claim was denied because apparently it would have made the car like new. Well, the engine would have been new but the rest of the car would not and what is the point of having a cover value if a claim that falls within it is denied. Don't touch these people with a bargepole. The date was April-August 2024.

Hi Kate,
Thank you for your feedback.
We have reviewed the details provided in your review, however we have not been able to locate a repair plan or claim under the information available. Without a plan number or vehicle details, we are unable to verify the circumstances you are referring to or review the decision mentioned.
Repair requests are assessed strictly in line with the repair plan terms and the evidence provided, and decisions are not based solely on whether a repair falls within a financial limit. The cause of failure and the specific plan criteria must also be considered.
If you do have a repair plan with us, please contact us directly with your reference details so we can locate the file and respond accurately.

The best Protection guys!
I bought this car, and Handler Protect was the guarantor at the car dealership... I had not hear about Handler before but know that they are the best guys on the job! They have covered me twice now and the process was smooth and quick not time wasting, no complicated tasks, just a few simple docs and an easy email and it's done! These guys don't waste time neither upset you! Thank you so much for the great offer reduction on my 1 year Protection, as well! You're the best!

Their communication was clear, they were extremely helpful, and the claim was processed without any unnecessary delays.
