ANV enters vehicle warranty market with Car Care Plan deal. The deal brings a 50-year-old warranty MGA with operations in roughly 100 countries into its specialty insurance platform. ANV Group Holdings has agreed to acquire Car Care Plan (CCP), the UK's leading motor warranty managing general agent, from AmTrust Financial Services. The deal is expected to close around the end of September and brings a 50-year-old warranty distribution platform into ANV's growing specialty insurance portfolio. Financial terms were not disclosed. CCP was founded in 1976 and issues more than 1.5 million policies annually in the UK. It serves more than 30 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), over 2,500 dealers, and customers across approximately 100 countries. Its business covers product design, underwriting, claims handling, and after-sales administration. The deal also includes Dent Wizard Ventures (DWV) in the UK, a mobile bodywork and alloy wheel refurbishment company, along with CCP's overseas subsidiaries in the US, Europe, Turkey, and China. DWV's inclusion reflects how OEM warranty programs are structured. Automakers and dealers commonly bundle cosmetic repair services with mechanical warranty products, and a repair capability sitting inside the same platform allows CCP to administer those programs end to end. For ANV, retaining DWV keeps that bundled offering intact rather than separating it from the warranty book. AmTrust will stay on as CCP's underwriting partner under a long-term capacity agreement. The structure follows the same model as ANV's own formation. When AmTrust and Blackstone Credit & Insurance spun off a portfolio of AmTrust's MGAs in December 2025, the two parties entered a 10-year capacity agreement under which AmTrust continued to underwrite the existing books of business. A warranty market drawing institutional capital. The global auto extended warranty market was valued at approximately $34.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $47.9 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.5 percent, according to data from The Business Research Company. Rising repair costs, longer vehicle ownership periods, and growth in used vehicle sales have contributed to that trajectory. North America was the largest regional market in 2025. The CCP deal arrives as MGA consolidation continues to accelerate. Mergers and acquisitions involving MGAs increased in both number and size through 2025 and into 2026, with private equity firms and carriers extending their reach. ANV has been one of the more active buyers in that wave since its December 2025 launch. In less than a year, it added workers' compensation MGAs Specialty Comp Insurance Solutions and Associated Specialty Insurance Agency, acquired Iris Insurance Brokers in the UK, and agreed to buy automotive lending specialist Open Lending for $372 million and travel MGA Assured Underwriting Group. The CCP acquisition adds vehicle warranty as a distinct vertical to that growing platform. What the deal means for brokers. CCP will continue to operate under its existing brand. Ben Russell will remain as CEO, and the current leadership team will stay in place. AmTrust will keep its underwriting role, which means existing capacity arrangements carry over unchanged - a notable feature for brokers and OEM partners concerned about post-acquisition disruption in the MGA space. The acquisition includes CCP's US subsidiary, which gives ANV a foothold in the American vehicle warranty market from day one. For US brokers who work with auto dealers or place finance and insurance (F&I) products, CCP's existing OEM relationships and dealer network represent established distribution infrastructure that ANV can build on without starting from scratch. "This acquisition is fully aligned with ANV's strategy of partnering with MGAs in attractive markets, and it establishes a scaled platform in the warranty vertical," said Adam Karkowsky, chairman and chief executive officer of ANV. For brokers placing business through CCP - on OEM warranty programs, dealer-facing products, or asset protection - the practical outcome is continuity. ANV gains a brand with embedded distribution across approximately 100 countries and OEM relationships developed over five decades.
NBS expands PI placements to £10m as AmTrust provides capacity. * * By Rosie Simms * 09 Jun 2026 * Indicative reading time: 2 minutes NBS Underwriting has extended its professional indemnity capacity with a partnership with AmTrust Specialty providing an additional £5m excess layer, to streamline placement processes.
