What
Plans is My Vehicle Eligible For?
Eligibility
for particular plans is determined by the vehicle’s age,
mileage, make and model. Additional features such as four-wheel-drive,
turbo/super charged, diesel engine, and number of cylinders,
also affect eligibility. Vehicle history and usage are also
considered. That is, whether a vehicle is used for commercial
purposes, or whether it has a reconstructed or salvage title.
Small surcharges may apply in certain instances relating
to those issues. Each extended warranty has specific requirements,
and a warranty company or broker will offer policies that
best match your vehicle and needs.
Some
options, or ways in which the vehicle may be used, will
require an “optional coverage supplement”, warranty terminology
for a surcharge. These include engines larger than 8 cylinders,
vehicles used for plowing snow, dual rear-wheel trucks,
salvaged or branded titles, vehicles with lift kits, lemon
law vehicles, vehicles used for towing, vehicles exceeding
1 ton GVW, police or emergency vehicles, or vehicles used
as a taxi. Optional coverage supplements will vary by warranty
company.
It’s
important to know your vehicle’s features well before contacting
a warranty company or broker. It is crucial to give correct
information about your vehicle, such as whether your vehicle
is 4WD or AWD, whether it has a salvage title, or if it
is being used commercially. Each of those can affect the
warranty price. Forgetting or otherwise neglecting to mention
these kind of features or modifications when setting up
your plan, will result in your warranty being voided.
