Endurance Warranty coverage

We’ve broken down some of the contract details here to give you an idea of what each coverage plan offers. It’s important to understand the terms and conditions of an extended auto warranty contract to make sure you know exactly what you're getting.

Endurance Warranty plans

The plans that Endurance offers are as follows:

  • Secure Plus: The Secure plan is the cheapest option available from Endurance. However, like all of Endurance’s plans, you still get access to 24/7 roadside assistance and rental car benefits. An optional feature of this Endurance Warranty plan is a “disappearing deductible.” This means your deductible shrinks the longer you go without making a claim.
  • Superior: The Superior plan covers everything in the Secure plan and more, but it’s still a step down from the Supreme plan’s exclusionary coverage.
  • Supreme: The Supreme plan is Endurance’s most comprehensive and popular plan. Protection is most similar to the manufacturer warranty that accompanies a new car. It offers bumper-to-bumper, exclusionary coverage. This means all repairs are covered unless specifically excluded.

Each Endurance warranty plan comes with one year of Endurance Elite benefits. These perks come with a $29 activation fee and include:

  • Roadside assistance that provides 24/7 help with anything you need to start moving again
  • Total loss protection with up to $1,000 toward a replacement vehicle
  • Collision discount covers up to $500 per covered collision, with a total benefit limit of $1,000
  • Key fob replacement with a $500 limit to repair or replace
  • The Endurance Protect app, which helps you stay connected with staff and your benefits and access roadside assistance.
  • Tire repair or replacement for up to two tires per year, with repair costs covered up to $40 under the repair-first benefit

Endurance also has three additional plans that aren’t advertised online. They are usually only available over the phone and have more restrictive eligibility criteria.

  • Select Premier offers similar coverage to Secure Plus for vehicles with more than 150,000 miles.
  • Secure is a powertrain-only plan.
  • Advantage offers Supreme coverage plus up to $3,500 in annual maintenance costs.

Endurance Warranty cost

You can expect to pay $1,200 to $1,920 per year on a basic car warranty from Endurance. Prices vary based on multiple factors including the plan you choose and your vehicle’s age, mileage, make and model.

One area where Endurance Warranty stands out is its 36-month, interest-free payment schedule. Endurance also offers a 30-day refund period in case you decide you don’t want the protection after all.

Endurance Warranty’s protection plans are typically transferable within 30 days of the vehicle's sale and require a $50 transfer fee. Ask a representative to see if your car is eligible for a transfer.

Can you cancel an Endurance warranty?

Endurance Warranty offers an unconditional 30-day, money-back guarantee. If you decide that the coverage isn't what you're looking for, the cancellation process is simple.

Are Endurance Warranty prices negotiable?

Yes, negotiating prices is a fairly standard industry practice. It’s helpful to have lower quotes from competitors at hand when asking an agent to lower your pricing.

How do you file a claim with Endurance?

To file a claim with Endurance take these steps:

  1. Prevent further damage.
  2. Take your vehicle to a licensed repair facility.
  3. Have the service manager obtain authorization from Endurance before any repairs.
  4. Authorize any necessary tear-downs or inspections.
  5. Review your warranty coverage.
  6. Pay any applicable deductible.
  7. Keep all forms of documentation during this time.
How does Endurance Warranty pay claims?

Endurance Warranty pays claims upfront, so you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket other than the deductible. Its auto warranties are honored at more than 350,000 ASE-certified repair facilities across the country. Payouts are limited to the vehicle’s trade-in value, though. As a result, maximum payouts differ for each contract.

Does Endurance Warranty require a vehicle inspection?

No, Endurance Warranty doesn’t require a vehicle inspection before offering coverage. However, you must properly maintain your car to keep your warranty valid.

Does Endurance Warranty provide roadside assistance?

Yes, Endurance Warranty provides 24/7 roadside assistance (available to customers once every 72-hour period). Roadside assistance can tow your vehicle 25 miles to the closest compliant facility or provide lockout assistance, battery start service, flat tire changes and emergency fuel delivery.

Does Endurance Warranty offer rental car reimbursement?

Yes, Endurance Warranty offers rental car reimbursement in case your car is stuck in the shop for several days. It pays $30 per day for up to five days. However, Endurance Warranty’s trip interruption reimbursement pays up to $450 ($150 per day, not exceeding three days) if your destination is more than 100 miles from your home.

Is Endurance Warranty worth it?

Like with any auto warranty company, whether Endurance is worth it will depend on a number of factors, including your coverage options, budget and the condition of your vehicle. Unexpected auto repairs can cost thousands, so many people find that the security of an extended warranty is worthwhile. Weigh the likelihood of a covered incident versus the cost of your car warranty to see if it’s the right option for you.

Endurance Warranty is a good option if you’re looking for a dependable extended car warranty. The coverage costs are average, and Endurance is particularly appealing to those with older cars since it offers coverage for vehicles up to 20 years old. The company’s ability to cover claims in certified repair shops across the country makes it convenient. Endurance Warranty is a solid choice for extended auto warranties.

    Reviewed Dec. 12, 2024

    I saw the advertisement on the television and I decided on an extended warranty due to the age of the vehicle. I was happy with the coverage that the rep from Endurance told me. I received a notice today that my contract is ready. It’s online and I haven't had an opportunity to review it. You’re always questioning things when they ask for money about a contract. You can't itemize what's covered and what's not. It wasn't clear and it's still not super clear. There were a lot of questions that were answered as far as some coverage, but it's always the nickel-dime areas.

    If an engine goes out, a lot of companies will say okay. But that's not due to a particular use or a particular way of the engine failing. It's because of maybe not so much neglect on your part like if something breaks. Just like I asked about heating and the rep said it’s not covered. I need to look at this contract closely because if the heater coil goes out and I'm not receiving heat, it’s not covered. And that's not a very inexpensive item.

    The rep didn’t go over the top with explanations. She defined my questions as close as she could. If I ask a question, then she would respond to it. I would have liked to hear voluntarily what was not covered. She gave me a list of a lot of things that were covered but I never heard exactly what was not covered. I understand, even at my age and in my vehicle, that normal wear and tear is not covered. If a tire blows, that has nothing to do with it. But belts and hoses and things of that nature are considered normal wear and tear. So, I don't expect that to be covered. She said my vehicle was covered from the day of signing up, but I had 30 days to cancel the program if I didn’t like it.

    I've got a 48-month contract. They're billing me up for 36 months and once that's paid, I get 12 months where I don't have to pay anything and I’ll still have the coverage. I have a $100 deductible, which at the age of my vehicle, is normal. That was not a problem for me. People should read their contracts and pay attention to what they're getting. Ask the questions and don't take anything for granted. Contracts are binding and they need to be reviewed on your behalf very closely. Pay attention to your vehicle and what your vehicle needs may be.

      I chose Endurance off of a commercial. My fiance's car broke down a couple of months prior and it was hard for him to drive everybody. We had to ask for help from friends. When I saw the commercial, I saw that Endurance will fix my car and provide a rental car. That was the most important thing to me because I need to have two cars, even though right now, there's only one on my policy. I'll get the other one when I can afford it. I needed a rental car to make sure that everybody can still get to their destination. That was the main purpose. Auto insurance only gives rental cars for accidents. It doesn't pay for rental cars for repairs. So now, I'm covered both ways. I have a rental car for accidents and a rental car for car repairs. It would be cheaper than getting a rental car.

      The sign-up process was simple. The guy who initially signed me up was really cool and really explained the whole process, and so far, I haven't had any issues. I had to push it back a couple of payments because I had surgery a couple of months prior. I couldn't pay it the very next month, then I couldn't pay it the following month because I was still trying to catch up from being off from surgery. Endurance worked with me and that means a lot to me. They're not cut-and-dried.

      I'm still in the probationary period, but I've already told people about Endurance, especially here. We live in Fayetteville, Arkansas and here, there are no transit options to get around. So if someone doesn't have a car, they're stuck or they will be ridesharing or asking people to take them places. It's very expensive. Everybody who lives here knows they're screwed if they don't have a second car, and sometimes, even if they have a second car, they're still screwed because they have kids. They gotta go to the west, then they have to work at the east. People need two cars to be able to achieve both.

      I don't like to depend on people, and Endurance takes that off the table. I'm all about eliminating problems and I would tell people to get Endurance with the rental car option because it eliminates two problems. They're not going broke to fix anything, and they're getting a rental car until the car is fixed, so they don't have to depend on anybody to do anything for them. I don't see a downside to it, and if Endurance targeted places that don't have transit options, that would boost them up.

      When I bought my car, Endurance Auto Warranty ran a special where it came with the price of the vehicle. Weeks before the extended warranty ran out, I had a problem on my car and Endurance acted upon it. They paid for it, took care of it, and I paid my part of it. That sold me right there because I had my doubt. I always use this one place here in Griffin since 1999. It's called Mr. Nobody and it's a mechanic shop. I called them one morning. My car made this horrible racket. They said, "I don't know what it is, but if you can limp it down here, then we can tell you." I got it down to the shop. The guy looked at it and said, "It's the air conditioning compressor gone out on it." I said, "It's fixing to be wintertime, so can we just bypass it and just not make it immobile right now?" because I had my doubts about the warranty.

      I heard all the scare tactics about, "It ain't no good. They won't pay." I thought, "That's gonna cost a lot of money." And I'm on a retired income. I said, "I've got an extended warranty." The mechanic said, "Well, you shouldn't have no problem because this involves the running gear of the car and the car will not run unless you get this fixed because the belts are all hooked to this compressor." I called Endurance and the gentleman there that I spoke with was very helpful. He paid attention to everything I said. He explained it to me. He said I would have to pay the $100 deductible and I would have to pay the Freon, which was 150. He said any shop towels or things like that that they would use on the car, I would have to pay for that.

      It ended up costing me a few dollars less than 300. I paid my 300, Endurance took care of the rest of it. There were no questions asked. All he did was look it up and said, "Yes, ma'am, you're covered." I thought, "What? Does that mean it's gonna pay for it?" He said, "Yes ma'am." Endrurance's part of it was 700 and it took care of it.

      I was sold and I've been telling everybody, "I don't know about these other warranties, but I know how Endurance works, and it does work because I'm a living proof of it." My car would have been parked if I had to come up with that. It was a little less than $1000. If you're thinking about getting an extended warranty, try Endurance because you can't go wrong with them. As long as it's a covered thing in your policy, they take care of it. They would fo it with no problem.

      I called my mechanic back four days later, and asked, "Brian, have you heard anything from the warranty thing?" He said, "Yeah, we got our money. It's taken care of." When I told him the other day I had to take my car in for its regular oil change and the rotation of the tires, and I said, "I've got my warranty starting back on October the 1st. Does that mean I'll have to go somewhere else or you're gonna take care of me again?" He said, "We'll take care of you. Just don't tell nobody because we can't do all warranties because they don't pay like yours did."

      The Endurance rep was extremely thorough. When he called, I told him, "I don't really wanna do this." I thought it was not as good as it sounded. When he told me that for the amount of miles, I could get covered and the extra years, like no other used car. Even if I were to have bought the warranty at the dealership, it would have only covered the amount of time that I had the vehicle financed. It never extends past that on a used car.

      I had insurance through another company before that wanted me to pay all this extra for the rental car, in which on a car insurance policy, you only get a rental car if the car was wrecked, and not if you have mechanical failure. So that was a big point for me when the Endurance rep told me, "If the car breaks down and they're gonna have it for a few days or you've gotta have something fixed on it, we'll cover a rental car." He also added that, "If you are driving out of state and the car breaks down, we'll pay for a hotel." I go out of state a lot. I've got family that lives in Oklahoma and Texas and my kids and I take road trips constantly so that's peace of mind that I wouldn't have gotten out of just my car policy.

      I've run into some personal issues so I called Endurance. I happened to have gotten a manager when I called in, and he said, "Let's do this. You have till the 1st, if you absolutely can't keep it. But in order to make sure that you're okay, because at that point, you're gonna be at your 30 days, your 1,000 mile mark. And if you cancel it now, what if you can pay it and you cancel it now? You've gotta start over again." He also said that, "So if something comes up and you absolutely cannot have that money come out of your bank account, let me know on August 1st. It won't come out on the 2nd. But to make sure that you're okay and to make sure that you don't have any other things on your plate, because it seems pretty full, if you're able to keep it, we will waive your September. And we'll defer it till the end so that you have that cushion and you're not also having to worry about something going wrong with your car." It was awesome.

      When I called Endurance and told them what I needed, they said, “Sure. We'll do that.” The rep did what he did. It was easy. They just took all my information. He asked me if the payment that I was making was still good and I told him, “Yes.” Then he said, “Okay. We'll set it up.” The only problem that I had was I got an email saying that another company was gonna be doing my payment. I didn't know if it was a scam and I'm not that good on the computer. So, I called the Endurance rep this morning and I said, “I wanted to check on this because I wanted to make sure it's not a scam.” I told him what I wanted and what my email said and he said, “Everything is fine. They are a company of ours, but you don't have to do anything. Everything is already set up. Don't worry about it.”

      Several things happened to my car that Endurance would have paid for if I had have realized they were as good as they were. But I didn't collect the insurance because I didn't realize that they would pay for electrical and all of this stuff. When I had trouble with my transmission and we had to replace the transmission. I called Endurance to see if they would pay anything on it, and they did.

      My air conditioner went out. I took my car to three different places and they kept telling me there was nothing wrong with it because it would cool sometimes and then sometimes it wouldn't. They would stand outside the car and roll the window down and stick their hand in there, and if it was cool, when they felt the air coming out of the vent, they wouldn't do anything. So, I put it in Nissan. They checked it out, charged me for checking it out, and said it was okay. I took it to Modern Chevrolet and they checked it out and said it was okay.

      I asked a guy at one of these Quick Lube places that changes your oil if they know a good air conditioner place and the guy said, “Take it down to Parrish Tire.” So, I took it down there and they had a real mechanic down there, not one that looks at a computer. He said, “You're gonna have to replace all this stuff.” So I called Endurance and I didn't think they would pay anything on it, but I tried anyway. The rep said, “Yes. We'll come out and check it." That was why I renewed my policy with them because they did me right twice.

      Contract claims to cover the engine but has enough loopholes included to ensure that they can avoid coverage. They insist on thousands of dollars worth extra diagnostics before meeting the claim so you have to gamble on spending more in the hope that they don't wriggle out of their obligation. Not worth the upfront cost. Dishonest business. Representative Jeffrey even lied about emailing a copy of my policy.
