Used Vehicle Plans

exsto Plans can be used to generate service plans which can be included against all your used car adverts on your website to give potential customers a clear indication of running costs and how a plan can help them budget for future running costs.

Maintenance Funds

In addition to services added to a plan, customers can also choose to pay into a maintenance fund which can be used to pay for any items not covered by a plan such as work identified during a health check, bodywork or accessories.

Warranty & Roadside Assistance

Include warranty cover, roadside assistance and other additional services in your plans using our integration with major industry providers to allow your customers to purchase a lifestyle plan, all payable through one monthly direct debit.

Optional Services

Further improve customer loyalty and penetration by including dealer specific optional services such as MOT’s, air conditioning services or brake fluid changes.

Users can easily select the quantity of each to add to the plan or turn on our quick selector which automatically adds and schedules the optional service based on a number of pre-defined options.

exstoPay

Use our exstoPay module to transact fully paid plans from a customer's debit or credit card, take a deposit or a top-up payment if annual mileage or other circumstances change during the lifetime of a plan. Managing all transactions in the exstoPay portal makes reconciliation a breeze.
