Factory coverage is ending
Compare options before the original manufacturer warranty expires.
Compare before you decide
Check whether your vehicle may qualify for available protection options. It takes about one minute, and there is no obligation to purchase.
Quick clarification: “Extended car warranty” is a common search term. Many plans offered after factory coverage ends are vehicle service contracts, not manufacturer warranties. See when an extended car warranty may be worth it.
Compare the right details
Two plans can cost about the same and protect very different parts of your vehicle. Use the contract—not the sales headline—to compare value.
| Compare | What to look for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Price + deductible | Total plan price, payment terms, and deductible per visit or repair | A low payment may not mean the lowest total cost |
| Covered systems | Named components for engine, transmission, electrical, cooling, A/C, and technology | Coverage depends on the written component list |
| Exclusions | Wear items, maintenance, pre-existing conditions, modifications, and excluded causes | Exclusions define what the plan will not pay for |
| Waiting period | Time, mileage, and the exact effective date | Repairs before coverage begins are generally excluded |
| Repair rules | Eligible facilities, prior authorization, diagnosis, and claim-payment process | These rules affect where and how a repair is handled |
| Cancellation | Review period, fees, refund method, transfer rules, and state terms | You should know the exit terms before enrolling |

Check available options →The price of a vehicle service contract depends on the vehicle year, make, model, mileage, selected coverage, deductible, term, provider, and state. A useful quote should show the plan price and deductible together so you can compare the total value.
The phrase extended car warranty is commonly used in searches, but many products sold after the original factory warranty are vehicle service contracts. They are separate agreements with their own provider, administrator, covered components, limits, and exclusions.
Start with your vehicle year, make, model, approximate mileage, and ZIP code. A specialist may ask for additional vehicle details before presenting an exact option.
Yes. Requesting available options through this page does not require you to purchase. Review the complete contract, price, deductible, exclusions, waiting period, repair process, and cancellation terms before deciding.
Pre-existing conditions are generally excluded. Most contracts also have a waiting period measured by time, mileage, or both. Read the agreement for the exact definition and start date.
Many plans allow covered repairs at licensed facilities, but the rules vary. Confirm that your preferred mechanic qualifies and ask whether repairs need authorization before work begins.
