Endurance

Endurance Warranty offers coverage for everyone. Whether you have a newer or a pre-owned car, it doesn’t matter! Endurance also covers delivery or rideshare driver vehicles, cars over 150,000 miles, salvaged or rebuilt title vehicles, and Canadian Grey Market vehicles. Endurance also offers specialty coverage, including high-tech components, commercial vehicles, luxury vehicles, and hybrid cars.

Standard benefits for Endurance customers include 24/7 roadside assistance, trip interruption, roadside assistance, and substitute transportation (aka rental car coverage). Also, for just a $20 activation fee, you can get a year’s worth of Endurance Elite Benefits. These benefits include tire replacement or repair, key fob replacement, collision discounts, and total loss protection.

The Endurance coverage plan options include basic drivetrain or powertrain protection and extend to component and exclusionary options across six protection plans. However, Endurance plans are fully customizable for any vehicle and budget. The new Highline for Supreme Vehicles coverage was released in 2022 for select luxury vehicles.

By far, the most popular plan for breakdown protection and maintenance coverage from Endurance is the Advantage plan. It offers up to $3,500 in routine maintenance benefits and extensive component protection. You will even find a handful of special services that can be completed once throughout your contract, including replacing a battery, replacing brake pads/shoes, and maintaining a cooling system.

When it comes to drivetrain or powertrain coverage, it’s what you would expect from similar plans at other providers, covering the engine and the main parts that make the car run.

Powertrain coverage may include:

• Engine
• Drive Axle Assembly
• Transmission

The named component coverage is a bit different but also valuable.  The idea with named component coverage is that the coverage is for the components included in the policy.

Component coverage may include:

• Factory Air Conditioner
• Engine Cooling System
• Front and Rear Suspension
• Fuel System
• Brakes
• Electrical Components

Exclusionary coverage is a broader form of coverage but is straightforward. Mainly, Endurance Warranty’s exclusionary coverage plans will cover everything that isn’t specifically listed as an exclusion within the policy.

Like other providers, Endurance Warranty has a 30-day or 1,000-mile minimum waiting period after purchasing a coverage plan (though these requirements can vary). A small deductible may apply based on your coverage and terms of your policy.

Endurance partners with the RepairPal Certified shop program to help customers find a reputable technician they can trust. In addition, because Endurance plans are accepted at any certified repair facility, you can choose a certified mechanic or preferred shop locally to take care of your mechanical issues or breakdown.

Service Contract

The service contracts offered by Endurance do not require vehicle inspections for the coverage to kick in. Cancellation is also easy, as you can get your money back during your 30-day waiting period if needed. A pro-rated refund is even possible outside of this window. Transferability of the warranty is also allowed.

Endurance is known as an industry leader in the vehicle service contract or auto warranty space.  Since it opened its doors in 2006, Endurance has managed to build a 4.1-star rating on Consumer Affairs with over 1,500 reviews. Google and Trustpilot are also very impressive with 4.3 stars or more for each platform.

Endurance Warranty is a leader in the auto protection industry for a reason.  It is going strong 15+ years after inception, serving many with new and pre-owned vehicles that require coverage.  Once the manufacturer warranty expires or even to supplement it, the options available from Endurance can cover any gaps in your current coverage.  Located in Illinois, Endurance Warranty is a significant player in the warranty space and continues to build on its already impressive customer base across the country.
