About TMO - The Motoring Organisation

Written by the company

The Motoring Organisation (TMO) has been part of the UK’s motoring story for over 50 years. With a legacy built on introducing extended warranties to the UK in the 1970s and continuing ever since to bring protection, support, and peace of mind to drivers, dealers and partners alike.

Over the decades, we have worked closely with many of the UK’s most trusted names and businesses:

• The AA
• RAC
• Vehicle manufacturers
• National dealer groups
• Major vehicle businesses

These partnerships have helped shape our expertise in warranty product development, claims administration, and dealer operations.

In 2020, we launched “The Motoring Organisation” as an independent brand, rooted in the experience we’ve accrued over decades. From that point, we set out to do things differently — to offer Aftercare that is smart, reliable, and customer-focused.

Our flagship Aftercare product is built to delivery what customers really need. We take the burden off drivers and dealers, helping protect against rising costs, uncertainties, and the unexpected.

We pride ourselves on:

• Great Service
• Transparency
• Integrity

As the UK’s #1 Trading Standards Approved Aftercare provider, our mission is to ensure every interaction is clear, supportive, and puts the customer first.

At TMO, we’re not just keeping pace with change — we aim to lead it. Our vision is to build solutions that deliver real value, trusted cover, and confidence on the road, every time.

Read The Small Print

read the small print, they will only cover up to £40 an hour labour which is practically no garage now a days.
Pleasant enough people on the phone to deal with if all you want is a chat. Was told they would cover £88 of a £500 bill. I would have been better off taking the money i paid for the warranty and paying for the repairs.

You are not very well informed on this matter so I will clarify for others reading. I went to one of your approved repairers and they said they couldnt carry out the work and it had to go to tesla which then one of your people also told me on the phone. If you would have recommended another repairer I would have taken it there. I acknowledge that the seatbelt may not be covered after investigation but a little understanding of how tesla quote might not go a miss on your end. Please do your homework before trying to downplay an unhappy customer

Thank you for your feedback, Mr Waller, but we’re sorry to hear of your disappointment.

To clarify for others reading, we clearly set out the labour rate we cover when choosing your own repairer. When using one of our approved repairers, we pay the full cost of labour directly with no shortfall. In this case, you chose to proceed with your own repairer against our advice, which is of course your choice, but this meant their higher hourly rate created a shortfall outside of your cover.

We did authorise the repair contribution in line with your policy and confirmed this with you. Unfortunately, under the 'What is not Covered', specifically "seat
belt and air bag systems" are excluded, as they are under all similar warranty products, which is why those costs couldn’t be covered.

We always try to be as transparent as possible, and many of our customers find real peace of mind from the protection provided. We’re pleased you found our team pleasant to deal with, and we wish you safe and trouble-free motoring in the future.

I would advise every customer to read…

I would advise every customer to read the booklet of which parts are covered and which are not. T.M.O I have been with them for 5yeara 1 st claims regarding head lights modules and right way they decided it because it was costing to much. They will not cover any expensive parts in your car. If you dont believe me read there booklet. Electronic/ maniacal cover should have cover the modules. But they said no.
Stay away from mis leading the client to buy there product by saying all your Electronic work will will be covered.

Shame on T.M.O
£30 A MONTH FOR 5 YEARS

Dear Ahmed,

We are always disappointed to receive a review like this, particularly from someone who has been a customer for over 5 years. However, it’s important to set the record straight for anyone reading:

1. You have downloaded and read your plan documents, and you’ve confirmed to us that you were aware of what is and isn’t covered.

2. Headlight modules are not covered under your plan. This isn’t something we “decided” because of cost – it is simply not a listed component, as made clear in your documents. No warranty provider covers every single part of a vehicle.

3. We are fully transparent about what our warranties include and exclude. Every customer receives their full terms before purchase and has ongoing access to them at any time.

We appreciate that a declined claim can be frustrating, but suggesting we mislead customers is unfair and inaccurate. Thousands of customers have had successful claims with us because their repairs were covered under the plan they chose. We would never decline a claim because it is "expensive" or consists of "expensive parts".

We remain committed to treating every customer fairly and honouring every valid claim within the terms of cover.

Dear Mark,

We’re unable to identify you from this review, but the experience you’ve described doesn’t reflect how we operate. We never confirm cover without first reviewing a diagnosis or clear fault report from a garage; this is a vital part of our process.

In fact, we regularly advise customers to get a diagnosis early so they don’t miss out on anything that is covered. If a claim is declined, it's because the issue unfortunately falls outside the scope of the warranty terms — something we're always upfront about once we’ve reviewed the facts.

It’s very unlikely that you were told to proceed without this being made clear, as that would go against our standard procedures, but please feel free to contact us directly so we're able to investigate this for you.

Kind regards,
TMO

Do not use this company!!!!!!

Don't touch these with a barge pole, steer well clear.

Warranty is not worth the paper it is written on , wont take any responsibility.

Had invoice sent for diagnosis, refused to pay, and also sent proof of fault with vehicle, again refused to cover. Do not recommend 😡😡

Dear Paul,

We're sorry you're unhappy, but we’d like to clarify the facts around your claim. Despite multiple conversations, your claim has never been declined. We’ve consistently asked for standard information — confirmation of what has failed, and images or evidence from the repairer to show this — but none has been provided.

Your policy does cover clutch components, provided they’ve failed suddenly. However, in this case:

1. Your vehicle is outside the standard limits for wear and tear cover.

2. The vehicle wasn’t even with the repairer, making it impossible for anyone to properly inspect or confirm the cause of failure.

3. No dismantling was done, and we were never given evidence of what had actually failed or why — which is a basic requirement for any warranty claim.

Suggesting we’re stalling to avoid a payout simply isn’t accurate. The repair could not proceed because it lacked the most basic standard of proof required under any warranty. As soon as the failure is evidenced and aligns with policy terms, we’re always happy to support.

We remain available to help if you'd like to progress the claim properly.

Kind regards,
The Motoring Organisation

Great to find a company you can work with, willing to listen not just use the term 'pre-existing at point of sale'. Richard the Company local representative was extremely professional, made the whole process easy.
