Select Car Leasing joins forces with MotorEasy to provide peace of mind and protection to UK motorists.
Select Car Leasing has announced an exciting new partnership with MotorEasy, designed to provide UK motorists with enhanced protection and peace of mind.
The collaboration marks a significant expansion of Select’s value-added services, delivering a comprehensive range of car protection and maintenance products to both its new and existing customers.
The first set of products to launch include Lease GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection), Cosmetic, Alloy, and Tyre insurance.
Lease GAP Insurance covers the shortfall between a main insurer’s payout and the outstanding balance still owed on a lease agreement in cases where the vehicle is declared a total loss. Designed to counter the affects of depreciation, Lease GAP Insurance helps avoid the stress and upheaval from an insurance write off, protecting the customer from financial loss by topping-up their main insurer's payment.
From November this year, every customer who leases a vehicle with Select will be given the option of 30 days free GAP Insurance.
Alloy Insurance, starting at just £6.50 per month, covers the cost of wheel rim repairs, while Cosmetic Insurance protects against scratches, dents, and other bodywork damage. Both products help to avoid expensive “excess” fees when claiming on minor damage through a main insurer, while also preserving a no claims bonus and avoiding the risk of increased insurance premiums in subsequent years. They can also provide particular peace of mind against potential damage penalties when returning a vehicle at the end of a lease agreement.
Tyre Insurance will also cover damaged or punctured tyres, including run-flat and performance tyres.
Warranty cover will follow as the next product, offered as an add-on protection for cars on lease terms that exceed their original manufacturer cover period. Subsequent phases will see vehicle servicing and repairs added to the mix.
Select customers will also get access to a dual-branded version of MotorEasy's unique ‘Digital Garage’, which provides a central location for a car’s history and documentation, helping motorists manage, protect, and maintain their vehicles at discounted rates.
Mark Tongue, Joint CEO and Founder of Select Car Leasing, said: “As the UK’s most trusted car leasing company, we’re delighted to have partnered with MotorEasy in an exciting and long-term relationship that comes with enormous benefits for our customers.
“The collaboration provides additional peace of mind to Select’s extensive database of customers and also introduces MotorEasy’s membership of more than one million car owners to some of the most competitive lease deals on the market.
“Crucially, there’s a real synergy between Select Car Leasing and MotorEasy, with both companies putting excellent customer service, trustworthiness and industry-leading innovation at the forefront of everything we do.”
Duncan McClure Fisher, CEO of MotorEasy said: “It’s great to be working with a like-minded organisation like Select that shares our aspiration to enhance and enrich the driving experience for UK motorists.
“Our comprehensive GAP product will protect customers from the moment they take delivery of their car, while our alloy wheel and cosmetic cover will help safeguard them against potential end-of-lease damage penalties.”
Adding to the offering, Select and MotorEasy will look to offer warranty solutions to customers who are either on contracts longer than three years or who are leasing a used vehicle. Discounted, ad-hoc vehicle servicing solutions are also earmarked for roll-out further down the line.
Select Car Leasing and MotorEasy - both headquartered in Reading, Berkshire - place a great emphasis on customer service, with each firm boasting a five star ‘Excellent’ rating on the reviews website TrustPilot.
MotorEasy’s Duncan McClure Fisher added: “We’re extremely proud of our TrustPilot rating and it’s a reflection of our commitment to customer service. It also highlights the quality of our claims handling and vehicle repairs process, which is managed through a network of 10,000 approved workshops nationwide. Wherever you’re based in the UK, we can manage your claims and repairs while delivering a high quality service.”
MotorEasy has specific products that cover electric and hybrid vehicles, including extended EV warranties.
As part of this collaboration, Select customers will gain access to MotorEasy’s unique "Digital Garage," a platform that centralizes vehicle history and documents, helping drivers manage their cars with ease and access discounted rates on services.
Both companies, headquartered in Reading, Berkshire, share a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, with each boasting a 5-star rating on TrustPilot. MotorEasy also offers tailored products for electric and hybrid vehicles, including extended EV warranties, reflecting the companies' focus on future mobility trends.
Select Car Leasing, founded in 2004, manages a fleet of over 80,000 vehicles and is recognized for providing competitive leasing rates. MotorEasy, launched in 2016, continues to serve over one million motorists, offering comprehensive after-sales products and services through its Digital Garage.
This new partnership is set to provide significant benefits for UK motorists, enhancing vehicle protection while delivering convenience and cost savings.
