an unconditional guarantee
A very common expression
Note from asker:
| It may be a common expression, but in this context I am unable to find anything similar. Perhaps I should have put the whole phrase: ne saurait s'engager sur une garantie absolue. Or am I just tired after a long day's work. |

The agency cannot give a comprehensive guarantee.
Discussion
