Top 10 Extended Car Warranty Companies On the Market

Extended car warranties can be a useful precautionary measure for any car owner. Your factory car warranty can only protect you for a limited period of time, usually 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first). If you own certain car brands, you might get up to 5 or 6 years of warranty.

Extended car warranties help you save money that you would otherwise spend on unexpected car breakdowns. With a vehicle service contract (the proper name for extended car warranties), you get coverage for different parts/systems of your car or even coverage that is extremely similar to your bumper to bumper warranty. In case the covered parts need to be repaired/replaced, your extended car warranty provider will pay the bill for the repairs.
