The Top 3 Extended Warranty Add-Ons (and Why You Need Them)

The Top 3 Extended Warranty Add-Ons (and Why You Need Them)

An extended warranty can give you peace of mind whether you are the original owner of the car and your manufacturer warranty is running out or you are purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. But when you shop for an extended warranty, don’t forget to price add-ons that can increase the value of your contract. Here are the top 3 extended warranty add-ons, and why you should be interested in them.

#1 Roadside Assistance

Roadside assistance can get you out of all sorts of jams. A good roadside assistance program includes features like:

  • Towing – Get your car to the shop without paying a bundle.
  • Lock-out assistance – Both sets of keys ended up locked in the car? Roadside assistance to the rescue!
  • Fuel delivery – Never make that embarrassing call to a friend or family member again.
  • Battery boost – A dead battery can happen at any time. Don’t rely on the car parked next to you being able to give you a jump start.
  • Tire assistance – Sure you can fix a flat tire, but who wants to do it on the side of the Interstate in your dress clothes?

#2 Trip-Interruption Benefits

Airlines are always trying to sell travel insurance, but what about if you are driving to your vacation destination? If you break down more than 100 miles from home, trip-interruption benefits can help cover hotel costs in whatever city you get stranded in. Now instead of being ruined, your road trip just took a little detour.

#3 Rental Reimbursements

If you are getting warranty-covered work done by the dealer, you may get a loaner car just to drive around locally. For any other long-term repair situation, you’re going to need a rental. Knowing you’re going to be reimbursed for the extra expense can remove the sting of not having your own car for a few days while the repairs are being done.
