What MotorEasy does

MotorEasy, operated by Intelligent Motoring Ltd and its FCA-authorised subsidiary MotorEasy Services Ltd (FRN 747890), is a UK-based digital motoring services platform founded in 2016 and headquartered in Reading. It aggregates extended car warranties (Plan A/B/C/Lite plus the UK's first EV/hybrid warranty with optional drive battery protection), FCA-regulated GAP insurance (Return to Invoice, Return to Value, Finance, and Contract Hire variants underwritten by AmTrust Europe), and a network of 10,500+ vetted UK garages delivering MOT testing, servicing, tyre comparison/fitting, and repairs. The platform layers on add-on insurance products (tyre, alloy wheel, cosmetic repair, breakdown, battery), a Digital Garage membership providing MOT reminders, recall alerts, and discount access (including 15% at Halfords), and ancillary services such as car insurance comparison, car leasing referrals, history checks, and a used-car sales valuation tool.

The business operates a digital-first, product-led go-to-market model: customers self-serve quotes and bookings through motoreasy.com, with an inside-sales/telesales overlay (uncapped commission, no threshold) closing warranty and GAP insurance leads, while separate operations are run through MotorEasy Tyres (operated by Colewood Automotive Ltd). Revenue is split across subscription recurring streams (warranties, GAP, add-on insurance, breakdown), transaction fees (tyres, MOT, servicing), and affiliate/referral income (leasing partners, finance brokers). Customer concentration is long-tail consumer, with the primary segment being individual UK car owners and a niche occupational channel via NHS discounts. The company has scaled to over 1,000,000 Digital Garage members, processes approximately 4,800 workshop bookings per month, holds 16,000+ 'Excellent' Trustpilot ratings, and has stated ambitions to double in size, supported by recent leadership additions and an active partnership and content-marketing build-out.

Broad incumbents

• RAC: Major UK motoring services brand offering breakdown cover, insurance, warranties, and maintenance services. Comparable in breakdown and insurance products, and a direct reference competitor named in MotorEasy's own pricing positioning.
• Direct Line Group: UK-listed general insurance group with personal motor, home, and other consumer lines. Comparable in personal auto insurance distribution and brand-led customer acquisition, though at materially larger scale.
• The AA: UK motoring services incumbent providing breakdown cover, insurance, warranties, servicing, and MOTs. Overlaps with MotorEasy across breakdown, insurance comparison, and maintenance, but at vastly larger scale and with a much broader portfolio.
• Kwik Fit: UK's largest tyre, MOT, and car servicing network with national garage coverage. Overlaps with MotorEasy's MOT, servicing, and tyre products, and is a potential partner/competitor in the garage network value chain.

Direct peers

• Warrantywise: UK-based specialist in extended car warranties, with multiple product tiers and a focus on mechanical and electrical failure cover. Highly comparable to MotorEasy's core warranty offering, though without the same breadth of insurance or maintenance services.
• Warranty Direct: UK provider of extended car warranties with multiple plan tiers, including mechanical and electrical cover. Closely comparable in product structure, target customer (used car owners), and digital distribution model.
• Click4Gap: UK specialist GAP insurance provider offering RTI, RTV, and finance GAP products online. Directly comparable in GAP insurance product range and digital-first distribution.
• ALA (Automotive Warranty & Asset Protection): UK administrator and broker of automotive warranty, GAP, and asset protection products, with both consumer and dealer distribution. Comparable as a regulated warranty/GAP administrator serving the UK car owner market.
• AutoProtect: UK provider of extended warranties, GAP insurance, and cosmetic/tyre insurance products to consumers and dealers. Directly comparable product set (warranty + GAP + cosmetic + tyre insurance) and similar FCA-regulated broker model.

Emerging players

• Black Circles: UK online tyre comparison and fitting platform, acquired by Michelin. Comparable to MotorEasy Tyres on price comparison and fitting booking, with a more focused proposition and Michelin backing.
