Vehicle protection plans offer affordable protection against costly and unexpected repairs beyond the manufacturer's or dealer's warranty and are available for both new and used vehicles. In some cases, vehicle protection plans are less expensive than the cost of a single mechanical breakdown.*

A vehicle protection plan makes sense if you are planning to keep your vehicle past the manufacturer’s basic warranty period and you want additional protection against the high repair costs. In addition, you may be eligible for more comprehensive coverage and the potential for long-term cost savings as the best rates for all coverage plans are on vehicles with lower mileage. Finally, our vehicle protection plans come with the following benefits: car rental, travel expenses for trip interruption, and 24/7 emergency roadside assistance including towing, flat tire assistance, battery service, lost key/lockout services and delivery of emergency supplies of fluids and other supplies.

You may still purchase a vehicle protection plan after the original full manufacturer's warranty has expired. Mechanical breakdowns are a reality for even the most reliable vehicles which is why manufacturers only offer warranties for a limited period. As your vehicle gets older and accumulates more miles, the likelihood of experiencing a mechanical breakdown increases. An investment in a vehicle protection plan today may protect you from an unexpected and costly repair bill in the future.

The process is simple, if the covered vehicle experiences a mechanical breakdown, the best alternative is to take your vehicle back to the dealer or producer from whom you purchased your protection plan. In those instances where that is not be a viable option, you may take your vehicle to any licensed repair facility in the United States or Canada. Instruct the dealer or licensed repair facility that they must contact the Administrator with the diagnosis and estimate of repairs and obtain an authorization number prior to proceeding with repairs.

Once the vehicle is repaired, we will pay the repair facility directly, less any deductible (if applicable), by credit card, direct deposit or check. There is no paperwork for you to fill out. However, failure to obtain authorization prior to repairs may result in nonpayment.

Our vehicle protection plans offer a range of deductible options including: $0, $50, $100, and $200. The deductible is per repair visit. Beware of companies that charge a deductible on a per item basis.

Your car rental benefit is available to provide you with a replacement vehicle when the covered vehicle is inoperable due to a covered mechanical breakdown. Many repair facilities have loaner cars or car rental operations onsite. However, if your repair facility does not provide rental cars, contact your local rental car company and retain your receipt. Once your vehicle is repaired, simply submit the receipt for reimbursement. Please refer to your specific vehicle service contract coverage pages for exact terms or contact us if you have questions.
