Why TyreCare?
- Avoid unexpected costs
Buying new tyres isn’t something most people budget for, especially when you get a puncture out of the blue. With TyreCare, you can avoid unexpected costs as the repair or replacement will be included in your policy. - Convenience
Purchasing a Kwik Fit TyreCare policy means you will be able to take your car into any one of our centres nationwide should you need to claim under the insurance. - One-off fixed fee
TyreCare insurance is a solution to safeguard your tyre purchase. Prices start from just £5.99* per tyre and is based on the price you pay for the tyre at the point of transaction. - Peace of mind
Experiences with tyre damage such as punctures can often be stressful and a hassle to repair. Through TyreCare you’ll be safe in the knowledge that you are covered for up to three repairs in the event of unexpected damage.
What Damage Is Covered?
- Accidental damage - sudden and unforeseen deflation or other damage to the tyre itself, or the valve, which requires the immediate repair or replacement before normal use can be resumed.
- Malicious damage - deflation or damage to the insured tyre or the valve caused intentionally by a third party, which requires a repair or a replacement before normal use can be resumed. In order to claim against malicious damage, you must report the incident to the Police and provide a crime reference number at the time of making a claim.
- Your vehicle will be covered in the UK, Isle of Man, and Channel Islands.
What Isn't Covered?
- Tyres below the UK legal limit of tread depth or any tyres that are not dot marked or where there has been an attempt to remove the serial number or other identifying marks from the tyre.
- Any malicious damage not accompanied by a valid and substantiated crime reference number, including fire and theft.
- Private hire, driving tuition vehicles (including any other professional instruction), taxis, and chauffeuring vehicles used for hire or reward.
- Vehicles used for competition or any competitive events. Off-road use, motor rallying, motor racing, pace-making, speed or duration tests (or any practice for these events), or track day events, regardless of whether they are timed or untimed.
- Commercial and agricultural vehicles.

How Long Will My Cover Last?
Your policy will end on whichever of the following occurs earliest:
- 12 months from the date of purchase; or
- When the insured tyre has been repaired three times; or
- When the insured tyre has been replaced.
When more than one tyre is insured under TyreCare each tyre will be insured separately under its own policy.
