What if my vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty?
As vehicles age and mileage increases, so does the cost of an extended auto warranty. So the earlier you purchase an auto protection plan, the less it will cost. Also note that the extended auto warranty coverage applies for a period of years beginning from the vehicle's in-service date.
How do I choose the right coverage plan terms? It's always better and less expensive to buy a warranty when you have fewer miles on your vehicle. The more miles you have on the vehicle, the more you should expect to pay. However, you need to consider your driving habits. Examine how many miles you drive each year and how long you plan to keep the vehicle. Your answers will help you determine the best term and mileage option.
Are coverage plans available for both new and used vehicles? Yes, coverage plans are available for both new and used vehicles. Your vehicle's make, model, year and mileage determines how the vehicle is classified. Vehicles beyond a certain age and/or mileage may still qualify for a new vehicle warranty. If not, it will qualify for a used vehicle warranty.
Can I still buy a warranty if my manufacturer's warranty has expired? Yes, you may still purchase an extended warranty after your manufacturer's warranty has expired, however, the longer you wait, the more expensive the policy becomes.
I plan to sell my vehicle in a couple of years. Will the coverage plan I purchase today transfer to a new owner later? Absolutely. Our plans are fully transferable and make for a great selling point when you are looking to move to your next vehicle.
What’s the difference between a warranty, a vehicle service contract and a product policy? When you purchase a vehicle brand new you receive a warranty from the manufacturer. That manufacturer guarantees their parts with a warranty which pays for the labor and replacement parts when they break down. When the warranty runs out you can purchase a vehicle service contract, much like insurance, a 3rd party assumes the risk of a vehicles future breakdowns specific to each policy. In other words, different age of vehicles and different mileage qualifies for different levels of coverage, which pays for covered parts and labor. The third option is what’s known as a product policy, when you purchase a product policy you receive items that must be used in order to have your vehicle policy protection activated. These products will protect those associated parts from a breakdown. This type of policy is ideal for older vehicles because the products are designed to help aid against mechanical breakdown. A product policy differs from a service contract in that you are purchasing a product as opposed to a service. When a breakdown does occur on these associated parts, then the policy pays for the covered parts and labor like a service contract or a warranty.
