Our editor’s take
Assurant Vehicle Care may be ideal if you’re looking for a company that allows you to manage your vehicle service contract online. The company advertises that its mobile app (Vehicle Care by Assurant app) simplifies the claims process and makes it easier to manage your vehicle repairs. However, the company does not offer a wide variety of plans, and you’ll have to go through a dealership to buy one. You may want to go with another company if you want more options or the ability to buy a plan online.

Assurant Vehicle Care availability
The good news is that anyone inside the U.S. (including California, Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada can purchase an Assurant Vehicle Care contract. The key is finding local dealerships offering its plans to secure the coverage you need. Consumers with a new vehicle do not need to worry about inspections, but if you have a pre-owned vehicle and are considering the company’s Certified warranty, the company will require an inspection.
Assurant Vehicle Care coverage and plans
Assurant Extended Warranty offers four plans with a range of coverage for vehicle owners. Its Comprehensive plan covers your basic powertrain components, plus a few extras like electronics and technology, though you should consult with your representative to determine what exact parts this plan covers.
In our opinion, the Base plan is a great option to start with if you want standard parts covered and more security than what the Powertrain plan covers. If you want full coverage for your vehicle, we recommend choosing the Comprehensive package.

---|---|---|---|---|

Transmission | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

Assurant Vehicle Care coverage limits
One of the perks to choosing Assurant is that there is no limit to the number of visits and repairs you can schedule per year. To know for certain what the payout limit is on your plan, make sure you read the vehicle service agreement fully.
Assurant Vehicle Care cost
Assurant does not disclose pricing online. The only way to find exact pricing for your vehicle is to contact a partnering dealership. However, we found the average annual cost of an extended Íauto warranty is around $1,000, with plans ranging from $200 to $2,800.
There are multiple factors that determine the cost of your warranty, one of those being the tier of coverage you select. Most extended auto companies provide a range of plans to choose from. Higher-coverage plans will cost more than lower, more basic plans. Other factors that go into warranty pricing include the make, model and mileage of your vehicle.
If you select a plan offered by Assurant, you can expect to make monthly payments toward the overall cost of your plan and have a deductible ranging from $50 to $100. The higher deductible you opt to pay, the lower your plan will cost.
Assurant Vehicle Care benefits
Below is a breakdown of the benefits Assurant offers with each plan.
Benefit | Limit |
---|---|
Roadside assistance | $100 |
Rental car reimbursements | $35 per day for 5 days |
Trip interruption benefits | $200 per day for 5 days |
Other | Manufacturer's deductible reimbursement |
Assurant Vehicle Care policies
Assurant does not provide much information online, so we could not find specific details regarding all of Assurant’s policies. However, we did discover that all four of its plans have a 30-day waiting period and are fully transferable after a small fee. The company does not fully explain its cancellation process online, but it gives three contacts for cancellation: a phone number, email address and online chat.
Since Assurant does not sell plans directly to consumers, it’s best to consult the dealership for a full breakdown of policies and regulations regarding an Assurant vehicle service contract. The company has limitations and exclusions for each plan, which you can find in the contract.
