True Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage
If the plan lists the items that are covered, it is Not a bumper-to-bumper plan. By definition, a bumper to bumper plan is exclusionary, that
is, it will only list the few components that are not covered. Typically these include cosmetic and maintenance items.
Wear and Tear Protection
This means that you are covered for parts that break as well as those that wear out. All covered parts in a policy should include a "wear
and tear" provision. A lot of plans have wear and tear exclusions, such as struts, piston rings, valves or other expensive components that
wear out and will not be covered. Beware of "Mechanical Breakdown" plans, they often have wear-and-tear exclusions, thus offering
you less coverage.
Overheating
Look for a plan that does not exclude damage due to overheating.
Roadside Assistance
You want a plan that offers a Free nationwide Roadside Assistance plan. You want to be covered per occurrence. Not an out of pocket reimbursement
plan, that is tied to only covered repairs. A good policy includes:
Emergency Road Service * Towing * Mechanical First Aid * Emergency Tire Service * Battery Assistance * Gasoline Delivery * Fluid Delivery *
Emergency Lock-out Service * Nationwide Coverage * Toll Free 800 Number * 24 Hours a Day/365 Days a Year
Car Rental
Should your vehicle have to remain overnight for a covered repair.
Trip Interruption
Should your vehicle become disabled more than 100 miles away from home and the repair is covered under your contract, reimbursement
for lodging and meals.
Nationwide Protection
Repairs can be made at any repair facility in the US or Canada.
Choice of Deductibles
Most automobile plans offer $0, $50 and $100 deductible options.
Renewals
A plan that may be renewed for continuous one-year terms for as long as you own your vehicle.
Transferable
The ability to transfer your coverage when you sell your vehicle, for a modest fee, which will increase your vehicle's resale value.
