ANV Group Holdings has completed its acquisition of Car Care Plan (CCP) from AmTrust Financial Services, adding the UK's largest motor warranty provider to its Credit & Protection platform.
The deal was first announced on August 24 and closed on schedule at the end of September. Terms were not disclosed.
The transaction also covers Dent Wizard Ventures, a UK provider of mobile bodywork, paint and alloy wheel repair, along with CCP's subsidiaries in the US, Europe, Turkey and China.
The buyer and seller are closely linked. ANV was formed in December 2025, when AmTrust and funds managed by Blackstone Credit & Insurance spun off a portfolio of AmTrust's MGAs and fee-based businesses in the US, UK and Continental Europe into a new independent company. Under a 10-year capacity agreement, AmTrust remains the underwriter for the existing books of business written through those MGAs. ANV is led by chairman and CEO Adam Karkowsky, formerly AmTrust's president.
The CCP deal moves another AmTrust business into that platform. ANV has not said whether CCP's business will be placed under the same capacity arrangement.
CCP was founded in 1976 and describes itself as the UK's number one motor warranty provider. It serves more than 30 manufacturers, over 2,500 dealers and customers in about 100 countries, handling product design, underwriting, claims, administration and customer support.
"Car Care Plan is a fantastic platform and an important addition to ANV's Credit & Protection platform, bringing meaningful scale in the global vehicle warranty market," Karkowsky said. "We're excited to welcome Ben and the team to ANV and look forward to supporting the business in its next phase of growth."
"Completing this transaction marks an important step forward for Car Care Plan," said Ben Russell, CCP's chief executive. "We look forward to building on the business we've established over nearly five decades and continuing to serve our OEMs, dealers, and customers around the world."
The deal caps a run of activity at ANV in 2026. It acquired Specialty Comp Insurance Solutions in June and rebranded it as ANV Comp on September 15. ANV Comp wrote about US$250 million in gross written premium in 2025 and provides workers' compensation to middle-market employers through wholesale distribution. IB has also reported ANV's purchases of Associated Specialty Insurance Agency and UK broker Iris Insurance Brokers.
For US dealers and the brokers who work with them, the relevant piece is CCP's US subsidiary, although ANV has not given details of its size or book. With Russell's team welcomed into ANV and no restructuring announced, the near-term questions for distribution partners are practical ones: whether capacity and product appetite change as CCP moves from AmTrust ownership into an MGA platform, and how the business fits alongside ANV's existing credit and protection lines.
