Misleading policy wording

Dissatisfied with the policy in place – it appears to be crafted in a way that may mislead individuals into believing they are enrolling in comprehensive coverage, only to discover that certain crucial aspects are cleverly excluded. For instance, I enrolled in a car warranty plan with the expectation that my brakes would be covered, only to find out that brake pads are excluded. Surprisingly, it's the brake bands that are covered, which seems rather unreasonable. Additionally, the policy doesn't cover something as essential as an oil leak, leaving me questioning the overall adequacy of the coverage.

Dear Swaleha,

Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that you are unhappy that brake pads cannot be covered by the warranty policy. 

A warranty policy is designed to assist with mechanical or electrical breakdown which is unexpected, not to assist with routine changing of components which wear out, such as brake pads or wiper blades, and this was disclosed at sales stage. We can have our team contact you to advise which product would be most suitable for you and whether your vehicle qualifies, please let us know. 

Warm regards, 
The Bidvest Insurance Team

Reviewer Update
I disagree, this was not disclosed in the sales call. I had asked about things like this and I was told that it would be covered
