Extended Vehicle Protection Plan Questions & Answers

What is an extended vehicle protection plan?
An extended vehicle protection plan works like insurance to protect you against the cost of repairs for components that are listed in the plan that you choose. These plans are commonly incorrectly referred to as extended auto warranties, but a warranty can only be provided by the manufacturer. An extended vehicle protection plan will cover repairs after the manufacturer’s warranty runs out. It goes above and beyond what is typically covered in a warranty, plus an extended vehicle protection plan is in effect for as long as you pay the contract –it doesn’t run out after 36,000 miles or 3 years like a common auto warranty.

Why do I need an extended vehicle protection plan?
Despite keeping up with the scheduled maintenance of your car, it is inevitable that it will need repairs only a mechanic can do. Plus, vehicle technology is progressing and getting increasingly more complicated, making at-home repairs difficult and the repair more expensive when you do have to take it to the shop. Considering the average repair bill costs $400-$600 and most people cannot handle that kind of out-of-pocket expense at the drop of a hat, an extended vehicle protection plan makes sense. A reasonable premium covers you against breakdowns and repair bills.

How does an extended vehicle protection plan differ from my auto insurance policy?
Auto insurance will typically only cover repairs costs due to a collision or accidental damage to your vehicle i.e. car accident, damage from weather, or vandalism. A protection plan covers the mechanical components like the engine, transmission, coolant system, CV joints, and other parts anytime they break down or malfunction.

What does an extended vehicle protection plan cover?
Covered components vary by plan. A list of covered components can be found on our Plan Comparison page, which will help you consider the best extended service plan for your needs.
