Our editor’s take

Assurant 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 extended warranty products

Assurant offers four different service plans for new and certified pre-owned vehicles. The company’s plans include basic to comprehensive coverage. Customers can manage their policies on the Vehicle Care app, which makes it easy to file claims and stay on top of vehicle maintenance. The company’s headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia.

The company also offers the following auto products:

  • Guaranteed asset protection
  • Prepaid maintenance contracts
  • Appearance, theft and lease protection
  • Ancillary products (e.g., paintless dent repair; tire, wheel, windshield and key replacement)
  • Limited warranties

Assurant extended warranty availability

The good news is that anyone inside the U.S. (including California, Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada can purchase an Assurant vehicle service 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 extended warranty coverage and plans

Assurant offers four vehicle protection plans with a range of coverage. 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.

Assurant extended warranty 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 extended warranty 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 auto 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 extended warranty 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.

    9/22/2025 near midnight: Hit a curb and got two flat tires on passenger side. Having never used this new coverage, had to search through paperwork to find out how to get roadside assistance. Found a phone number, called, got an automated system. Hung up, called back. Got a person, Lawrence. Explained circumstances and that I have this coverage but don't know how to use it. He took some information and said towing is necessary because it's two tires. He asked where I wanted it towed to. Requested that he suggest a place. He did, Pep Boy on Elvis Presley Blvd. - 4 miles from my home. I said Okay. He arranged the tow and provided me all necessary info.

    Car was towed at 8:30 the next morning. We were kept updated via text messages. On 9/23, we called Pep Boy mid-day and the person said he did not have the tires in stock, would have to order them and it would take one to two days for them to come in. They will cost $xxx. I explained the car was brought in by Assurant and we aren't supposed to pay anything. I also said the guy who arranged the tow told me Assurant will communicate with the repair shop and tell them everything they need to know, I don't have to do anything. He politely said, "Ma'am, I haven't spoken to anyone except your grandson and you. I said that lets me know I need to contact Assurant. I will get back to you." He said Okay.

    Having learned something (not a lot) about the Assurant App, I tried to sign up/enroll. Then I clicked on "Tire and Wheel." Then I clicked on "Claims." It said, "Apparently, you have not filed any claims." So I called the number I had first called and got the towing arranged. I got transferred to Member Services (I believe) and got the wonderful and patient LaKay. She listened, walked me through everything I needed from going to the APP store to downloading and installing the app, and patiently showed me how to find and review the status.

    She is a gem. I hope you can locate her in Assurant. I believe it was she who had explained the need for prior approval and asked that I have Pep Boy call Assurant. I was provided the no. they should call. I provided the no. to Pep Boy and they called and initiated a claim. Then it was on!!! Claim got reviewed and approved and Pep Boy set up an online notification system to keep me apprised.

    The tires were ordered and received a day later, on 9/25/2025. About 1:25 p.m. a voicemail message from Pep Boy stated my car is ready. Pep Boy was wonderful to work with. Marcello explained what they were finding and what was necessary. He is very efficient and pays attention to detail. I would prefer to not have two flat tires at the same time. But it happened. And because I am blessed to have gotten the Assurant plans when I purchased my car three months ago, what could have been a great disaster was addressed and resolved, quickly and efficiently. Thank you, Assurant, for excellent service.

      Was satisfied overall, only wish when purchasing the warranty that the salesman would have mentioned that there was limit on amount labor per hour that are covered. Purchasing bumper to bumper warranty with "max out of pocket" deducible of $100. Only to find out that warranty only covers $115 per hour for labor and in order to have a certified dealer to perform the work, it is hard to find anyone for less than $225 and hour. So, warranty in reality only covered little over 50% of the cost of repair. I'm grateful I had the warranty, but others may be caught off guard and be put in a bad situation. Ask that the company try to be more up front when selling a warranty, advising of the limitation of the policy. My total repair ~$2700 my out of pocket was ~$1200.

      My transmission needed to be replaced, and the service department informed me that the oil cooler assembly would not be covered by the warranty. However, they also told me that it absolutely needed to be replaced so that tiny shards of metal that probably were in the current system would not be circulated through the brand new transmission that would be put on my truck. That made total sense to me. If I left the old assembly there, I would likely be bringing my truck RIGHT BACK in for another faulty transmission.

      I had to pay out of pocket for the oil cooler assembly, as well as for the labor to replace it (just under $600), so that the new transmission would not be damaged. It makes NO SENSE that Assurant would not want the oil cooler assembly replaced along with the rest of the transmission. Unless they just wanted the new one to fail too???

      I had a hard time figuring out who to call at first, which was mostly the fault of the dealership where I purchased the warranty. However, once I finally got the right number and spoke with a representative, I had an amazing experience. A gentleman named Omar helped me, and he was incredibly kind and patient as I explained the issue I was having. Initially, they were trying to make me tow the car to a different dealership to have it repaired under the warranty. Omar stayed on the line with me as I called the dealership, spoke directly with the service advisor on my behalf, and negotiated for my car to be repaired there—and still be covered under the warranty. He even offered to help arrange a loaner vehicle without me even asking. He truly went above and beyond! I got disconnected from him at the end, but I hope this message reaches him so he knows how grateful I am for his help.

      On 11/06 2024 I brought my 2019 Subaru Outback in to Redding, CA Subaru for my standard service. It was discovered that there was a leak in the timing chain seal and oil pan. To repair and replace the seals, I was told that the engine would have to be removed and the cost would be around $6,000. When I took a big gulp over the price it was discovered that I had purchased an insurance policy when I bought the car that would laps after 6,000 miles or six years. Since my car had less than 6000 miles and it was two months before the six year mark, the service agent submitted the claim for me. To make a long story short the insurance I purchased covered all of the expenses except my $200.00 deductible. I had forgotten about the purchase of the additional insurance but I am so glad that I did. I am not only satisfied with the repair but the communications that I received from Redding Subaru Service Department to keep me informed on a regular.

      I bought a truck over the summer and the transmission recently started dropping into 1st gear while driving. I figured it was an obvious easy claim to get approved but after a week at the repair shop I was told it was denied due to "service repair documents were written in pen." This car has been meticulously maintained its entire life. I also noticed there is a previous claim on my profile that I did not initiate. The truck had an issue after purchased and was repaired by dealer apparently on my warranty. I am currently working with a warranty assistance attorney (who will recoup fees) and will continue writing negative reviews on all platforms for the dealer and Assurant sites until the claim is reversed and coverage honored.

      I recently tried to submit a claim for a sensor on my 2022 GMC Sierra. Before I authorized the dealership from completing the sensor work, I called and verified the sensor was covered under my package. Lisa (Assurant agent) confirmed on 11/3/25 and verified that yes, the sensor was covered. Today, Ignacio (another Assurant agent) was telling me that the information was incorrect and I was misguided, therefore I am responsible for any of the expenses to replace the sensor. He apologized for the incorrect information that was given to me and recommended that I write a review in hopes Assurant would take action to address the incorrect information.
