An extended vehicle warranty is a contract with a company to cover repairs after a vehicle's factory warranty coverage expires. These warranties, sometimes called vehicle service contracts, are extra-cost add-on products that come with price tags ranging from around a thousand to several thousand dollars. They are available with varying coverage levels that cover different parts of a car. Some nearly mirror the bumper-to-bumper coverage of a new vehicle's original factory warranty, while others are limited to specific vehicle components, such as engines and transmissions (powertrains). Many warranty providers offer various levels of coverage at different price points. When an extended warranty covers an item, it typically includes the cost of the part and the labor to install it. Most extended warranties and vehicle service contracts have deductibles that have to be paid when the repair is made. Some extended warranty contracts cover periodic maintenance expenses, including oil changes, but most do not. The most common types of extended car warranties are bumper-to-bumper, stated component, and powertrain extended warranties. A bumper-to-bumper extended warranty plan is often referred to as an exclusionary extended warranty. This type of agreement approaches the level of coverage you get with your original factory warranty. It's called an "exclusionary" warranty because it comes with a list of components that are not protected by the coverage.
