- Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty: This covers almost everything between the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle, excluding normal wear and tear (e.g., tires and brake pads). It's often the most comprehensive warranty provided.
- Powertrain Warranty: This typically covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, which are the core components that power your car. The powertrain warranty is often longer than the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
- Corrosion Warranty: This covers any damage to your car caused by rust. It's especially important in regions where roads are salted in winter.
- Roadside Assistance: Some warranties offer 24/7 roadside assistance, which includes services like flat tire changes, battery jumps, and towing.
- Extended Warranties: These are optional warranties that extend the coverage beyond the standard warranty period. They can be purchased either from the manufacturer or a third party.
When buying a car, Extended Car Warranty check the manufacturer’s warranty terms and see if they align with your expectations.
