Cazoo Wholesale, the UK’s fastest growing digital remarketing partner launches CW Assured to deliver increased trust, transparency and confidence to buyers when bidding through online auctions.

In partnership with Assurant, one of the UK’s leading warranty providers, CW Assured provides a 48 hour warranty on specific vehicle operations and functions.

Available through Cazoo Wholesale’s auction catalogues, CW Assured details the status on a number of vehicle operations, assigning a Pass, Fail or Advisory as appraised by NAMA trained vehicle inspectors at physical remarketing centres and off-site vendor locations across the UK.

All vehicles under 12 years old, under 130,000 miles and under £40,000 CAP Clean price at time of sale, will now be offered with the CW Assured scheme, giving buyers a 48 hour window to submit a claim should any vehicle function deviate from that stated on the report.

Should a claim by successful, Cazoo Wholesale’s partner, Assurant, will then offer a range of remedial options to buyers.

In a first for the remarketing industry, the cost for CW Assured will be included within the buyer fee of £280+VAT regardless of vehicle sale price. This unique offering provides buyers with total oversight of the costs associated with sourcing stock through Cazoo Wholesale’s auctions, allowing them to maximize retail returns.

Commenting on the launch Cazoo Wholesale Director, Sam Tomlinson said “As a purely digital remarketing partner, we understand that trust and transparency in our vehicle descriptions are paramount to our continued success, both in maximizing buyer confidence and in turn generating optimum returns for our vendors. We are proud to provide this additional level of comfort through our relationship with Assurant.”

Assurant Director – Automotive Europe, Sean Kent, added “We’re delighted to have extended our relationship with Cazoo through the CW Assured launch. Assurant have worked with Cazoo since their launch in 2019, it’s been a successful partnership ensuring customers enjoy a first class warranty solution for their vehicle purchase, and utilising our extensive market insight and capabilities to improve programme performance. We’re confident CW Assured will build on that success through providing reassurance to customers that the inspection is completed to a high standard while providing full transparency of the vehicle condition”.
