Feedback for Presidian Group indicates a high level of satisfaction regarding claim efficiency and customer service, particularly among owners of premium and European vehicles. While most users report a seamless experience, a segment of customers highlights significant frustrations regarding policy exclusions and transferability.
Pros
Cons
Verdict
Presidian Group is highly regarded for its fast processing times and professional customer service, making it a strong performer for those seeking peace of mind on used or premium vehicles. However, prospective customers must thoroughly review the fine print regarding private sale transfers and specific part exclusions to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Took car into the dealership. They advised on the issue, and when I said I had a Presidian warranty, they followed through and organized the report and Repairs. Just a couple of questions over the phone and all fixed. Great result. Back on the road the same day. Brilliant. Show details · 1
Excellent experience with Presidian. My claim was approved very quickly, and the repair process was completed efficiently with great communication throughout. Professional, reliable, and hassle-free service. Highly recommended. Show details · 1
Presidian Warranty Car Care - Complete waste of money - don't bother. Typical insurance provider, more focused on finding technical reasons to decline claims. So keep that in mind when dealing with Presidian. And dont let the BMW Car Dealer convince you to take out the Presidian Extended Warranty - because they grab their commission and then point the finger, to then having their hand out. Show details

I’ve been with Presidian for around 3 years and my experience has been excellent from start to finish. The policy was easy to set up and offers very good value, especially for newer and higher-end vehicles. Whenever I’ve lodged a claim, the process has been smooth and efficient. Most of my claims were approved and resolved within a few days to a… Read more · 1
maximum of two weeks, which is very impressive. They covered repairs on my BMW, including a front electronics module issue and oil leaks, with no hassle. The communication was clear, the turnaround time was quick, and the whole process felt streamlined and stress-free. Having this warranty has definitely been worth it for the peace of mind alone. I highly recommend Presidian to anyone purchasing a modern or premium vehicle, and I will absolutely be using them again for my next car. Thank you to the team for the great service.
Very satisfied with both times I’ve needed to claim on my warranty covering my 2016 Mercedes. No issues getting items covered in a fast and efficient manner. Very glad I took out the policy when I bought my car. Show details · 1
Amazing service. Very easy to make the claim and was approved the same day. Patrick was very helpful and understood my situation as I live in the country and only have certain mechanics that are more like a one stop shop. Definitely recommend this company for extended car warranties. Show details · 1
Volvo claim approved – I had managed to apply my claim with pictures and quote from volvo after reading through the small print of my warranty. I gave it a go through email and what do you know. I got it approved. I am over the moon. Thank you for the quick response and follow up. Show details · 1

I had another incident today, I gave them a call to check if they covered headlight, my Audi wasnt safe to drive but had no choice. Everytime I turned on left signal, both signal light in the headlights turned on causing chaos at roundabout. I told them it needs a headlight housing replaced and asked if they would cover it. They asked me to get… Read more
it inspected by licensed mechanic, and they said the same thing, after wasting 10 days roaming 7 workshop, a claim was put through and it was rejected. Why bother wasting everyones time if they are just going to reject it. Poor support and trash warranty. Waste of money.
I strongly recommend not to buy it. Anything you can think of can go wrong; they dont cover. Trust me, I own 8 cars as I am car enthusiasts, had plenty of experience with warranties over the years. All are trash but you pay extra money for presidian to buy the same trash. Go with National or integrity or something cheap if you are desperate. But it’s waste of money. I paid 3.5k and did not get sump pan approved, nor headlight actuator motor fault covered. Nothing, nada.. Zero…
And they sell it saying it’s new car warranty.

response within 2-3 days. I highly recommend getting this for any second-hand car (or if your car warranty is expiring and you want to extend it). The best thing is the extended warranty is against the car so if you plan to sell the car the warranty is an added value to the car.
Follow-up · My warranty is an extension of the original volvo warranty covering most of what Volvo original warranty covers. No costs to me, but it depends on the quote and price from volvo. There is a cap on certain items and a cap on hourly rates. Claim was a breeze, just make sure your service book is up to date. They have a portal for you to upload… Read more

Wonderful perfect experience each time i have claimed – I got my warranty with Presidian almost 3 years ago and they have been nothing but professional and helpful in my dealings.

I purchased a 5-year car warranty in good faith, expecting fair and transparent terms. After recently selling my car privately, I contacted the company to request the cancellation/claim form. It took multiple emails just to receive a response, which was already frustrating and unprofessional. My husband then had to call to get a clear answer,… Read more
only to be told that we were not entitled to any refund or remaining warranty value because the car was sold privately. This was never disclosed or explained to us at the time of purchase. Had this critical condition been made clear, we would have seriously reconsidered purchasing the warranty in the first place.
The lack of transparency, poor communication, and failure to properly explain the terms is extremely disappointing. It feels misleading and unfair to sell a long-term warranty without clearly outlining such important limitations.
Based on this experience, I would strongly advise others to be very cautious, and I would not use this company again.

I bought a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan and I had heard that gearboxes were a problem with these cars so when I was offered a warranty with my car, I decided to purchase it. It cost me $3000. My first experience of claiming wasn't a good one because of the exclusions. There are a lot. It was sold to me as a new car warranty but new car warranty is… Read more · 1
generally would cover oil leaks in a new car. The second time I claimed was for a Mechatronic unit for the DSG gearbox to my astonishment it was covered. They covered $2700 for the repairs. I had to pay difference of about $300. I'm not sure why but I had to. Recently I have had to make another claim on the gearbox. This time on the DSG clutch in the exclusions. I read clutch linings were not covered. But to my amazement they have just approved $3800 for the repair again. I will have to pay a difference. Apparently the repairer has quoted for 15 hours labour but Presidian have only covered 10 hours which is fine by me. The majority of the cost is going to be covered by the warranty. So in my experience, it has been well worth the purchase of this warranty. The staff when you call are always very nice and communicate well. Showing my experience this has been a good one. I am glad I purchased it now.
I had an exceptionally reliable vehicle during my 5 year tenure with Presidian, though there were two isolated sensor claims, both of which were approved. The second claim took a few weeks to resolve as they never replied to the repair facility's email and I had to chase them up as it were. . This was a minor annoyance and overall I am satisfied… Read more · 1
with them. The same cannot be said for Integrity Warranty, which may or may not be affiliated with Presidian. Presidian was, overall, easy to deal with; Integrity is like trying to pull teeth from a jackal, they are (deliberately ?) extremely difficult to deal with it isn't worth the headache, I would honestly prefer paying completely out of pocket than to ever deal with Integrity car warranty. I will be buying another car imminently and will consider Presidian but certainly not Integrity. As an aside, my next vehicle purchase will be anywhere but a place called Scarboro Toyota, who are the dirtiest players in the game in Western Australia. :)
Positive reviews
Presidian, I have been using them as the extra warranty protection for my past 3 used vehicles. Recently, I had issues with two of my cars. Presidian was very easy to deal with claims and any communications. I was updated with the claims along the way and approved for repairs in a reasonable time. Highly recommend as an extended warranty backup, and will use them again in the future. Show details · 1
Made my first claim only a few months after purchasing the gold cover and was pleasantly surprised how unconfrontational the experience was ,I rang persidian made the claim, the auto electrician submitted his quote and paper work required the next afternoon my claim was approved and I was only out of pocket $10 for a $900 part and install ...so far I can definitely recommend taking this cover with this company.

I have had a positive experience with my warranty through Presidian. My turbo went on my Nissan Patrol, I was offered mechanics close to home, it went pretty smoothly. If anything would have been better if the process was a bit quicker as I did have to return to the mechanic a second time before the warranty was approved. The people I dealt with were professional and easy to work with. Show details · 1
Negative reviews
In my experience, Presidian extended warranty was a complete waste of money. It feels like they only cover minor parts while major mechanical failures are excluded or difficult to claim. When you actually need help with an expensive repair, don’t expect the level of coverage that the warranty may seem to promise. I paid for the warranty expecting… Read more
peace of mind, but when a significant issue arose, I was left disappointed. My advice is to read every exclusion carefully before signing up. Based on my experience, I would not purchase a Presidian extended warranty again and would not recommend it to others.
Honestly they will only cover nuts and bolts dont expect more than that.

Not a great experience overall so far. The coolant leak claim for my Mazda CX-9 has moved painfully slowly, taking over a week just to assign an claim officer (even after submitting the service record at the very beginning) who is now only requesting service records, leaving us in a stressful situation without a loan car unless the claim is… Read more
approved, which is especially difficult for a family with two young children and not what I expected from a premium warranty provider :(
Certainly wouldn’t recommend.

Absolutely not worth paper it’s written on. Their warranty contradicts itself. They do not cover all electrical. They do not cover equal to a bmw warranty. You have to fight for any warranty claim. They will never approve the lot and we had to wait for three months. Do not get, do not waste your money Show details
Follow-up · Issue has not been resolved. Very deceiving in their contradicting documents. I'm lodging a complaint to Consumer Affairs Victoria for a refund. Be vary wary of this product, they will try anything to get out of paying for a claim.

I lodged a claim, and it took only five business days to be approved for an air-conditioning replacement on my Mercedes-Benz. The customer service was excellent from start to finish. I’ve only been with Presidian for about a month, but the experience has already exceeded my expectations. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive listeners, and effective problem solvers.

related issue and he was very clear and professional on the next steps and the outcome. Our claim was approved and we were happy to have purchased the warranty.
Follow-up · Regarding how long it took it was done within 24hrs through our Mercedes dealer. It was a minor issue related to the window seals. We had a noise coming from the window and it was a replacement of the seals. We do not know the cost as it was through the dealer and Presidian. Hope this helps answer some of the followup questions.
Very fast and attentive care. Huge thanks to Presidian Group Team. The policy I have was worth every cent. The whole process went very smoothly thanks to the Perisidian and Mazda Service teams. Show details · 1
