Purchasing an extended car warranty is a good way to ensure your peace of mind whenever driving your car. This plan ensures that you will be compensated for in case your vehicle suffers from a mechanical breakdown. It aims to extend the original car manufacturer warranty, but since it is bought from a third-party company, the terms and the exact coverage may differ based on what you will purchase. For these plans, users can purchase coverage only for the most important parts (called Powertrain plans) or buy protection for bumper-to-bumper (which is the closest to the manufacturer warranty).
Protect My Car is a Florida-based company. They have been in the business for 15 years and have continuously been praised as one of the best when it comes to supplying quick compensations, good benefits, and generally having good customer service. They are currently rated A+ in Better Business Bureau and have been noted for being quick to respond to emergencies and being hassle free through the whole signing and compensation process. Generally, they cater towards mid-tier vehicles which have travelled for not less than 125,000 miles.
When it comes to plans, they are straightforward, with only three available ones. This is very limited compared to other companies. Upon closer inspection, we found the plans to be quite applicable for many users because of its abundant benefits along with its terms.
Their first plan is the Driveline Plan. This can be purchased for cars between 4 to 10 years of usage. The mileage of the vehicle must be between 80,000 miles up to 125,000 miles. This means that it is mostly advisable for vehicles that have been used for some time now and want to have more protection on the road. This is also the most affordable given that it is for older vehicles.
The mid-tier plan is called the Select Plan. This is only applicable for vehicles which have been used for only up to 50,000 miles. The company advises this for vehicles that are too recent for the Driveline Plan but are too old for their most expensive plan, the Supreme.
The Supreme plan aims to be an extension of the original car manufacturer warranty by providing coverage bumper-to-bumper. This is one of the best offers given that having more protection is always best. This is the most recommended plan.
Based on their plans, the Select plan is our most recommended one given that some may find the Supreme plan to be too expensive. Given that it is only an extended auto warranty, users may want a cheaper yet still viable plan. When we did a Protect My Car review we found that their plans were similiar to their competitors, some better some worse.
The service offers a lot of benefits to make their plans worthwhile. These are mostly industry standards that many other companies also offer.
First, they have an emergency service that can be contacted 24/7. This can be called in case you need help with towing, if you run out of gas, have a flat tire, and more in the middle of the road. They are quick and easy contact for this.
Next, they also have maintenance options for users to take advantage of such as oil and wheel replacement to ensure that the vehicle will always be at peak performance. This is especially good to make the contract worth it even if your car does not suffer from a mechanical breakdown during the contract’s duration.
They also have a flexible payment plan which can be adjusted to be within 36 to 48 months of payment which ensures that many users will be able to use their plans.
Lastly, they also have a full money back guarantee that can be used within 30 days of signing. This can be used in case the user is not satisfied with the terms and conditions of the company.
In the end, Protect My Car is a recommendable service especially for those who want a straightforward service. Their benefits are also very recommendable because of its convenience when it comes to emergency services, flexibility in payment, car maintenance, and more.
Protect My Car is a straightforward service, offering three plans that cater to different users. Although limited, it is still very good for most users because of its coverage and pricing. The company is recommendable because of their abundance of benefits such as car maintenance, flexible payment plans, and more.
