Big Motoring World becomes RAC-approved dealer with market-leading warranty package

DATE

August 4, 2026

Big Motoring World joins the RAC-Approved Dealer programme, launching an enhanced warranty with RAC Breakdown Cover, wear and tear protection and vehicle purchase price cover.


All vehicles sold by Big Motoring World are now covered by an enhanced three-month Big Care – Inspect & Repair Warranty, which includes RAC Breakdown Cover, £0 customer contribution and immediate Wear and Tear cover.

Notably, customers are covered for the full value they paid for the vehicle – a key difference from the more typical ‘market-value’ limits applicable to the cover offered by many used car retailers.

Every vehicle sold by Big Motoring World is subject to a rigorous 200-point inspection, which aligns with the RAC’s Approved Preparation Standard. The 200-point check, which covers mechanical, electrical and safety elements, will be validated and audited by the RAC a minimum of six times per year to ensure total and ongoing compliance.

Customers can extend the standard three-month warranty on their vehicle by purchasing an RAC Inspect & Repair Extended Warranty or RAC Inspect & Repair Extended EV Warranty for a period of 12, 24 or 36 months.

The RAC Inspect & Repair Extended EV Warranty offers market-leading protection for EV batteries, covering failure up to the value of the vehicle purchase price (excluding degradation), and multimedia protection up to £4,000.

Laurence Vaughan, CEO at Big Motoring World, said: “We know that most car buyers don’t have a ‘rainy day fund’ to cover expensive issues discovered after purchase, so it’s important that customers know buying a used car from Big Motoring World comes with peace of mind as standard.

“We want customers to visit one of our stores knowing that they can believe in the quality of our used cars. Now, with Big Motoring World as part of the RAC Approved Dealer programme, customers have an added layer of independent validation that helps mitigate perceived risks when buying used.”

Sean Kent, Managing Director, Automotive Europe at Assurant, which provides and administers RAC warranty products, added that Big Motoring World’s strong focus on customer experience, use of technology and ambition to grow matched their position, saying “the partnership closely aligned with our strategy of helping customers thrive within the automotive industry”.

Big Motoring World was established in 1986 and has grown to become one of the UK’s largest independent car supermarket groups, selling over 60,000 vehicles in 2025.
