Car warranty
Repair coverage for your car after the factory warranty ends
Your auto policy pays for crashes, theft and weather. It doesn't pay when the transmission fails at 90,000 miles. A vehicle service contract, often called an extended car warranty, pays for covered repairs like that. We offer them through Fair Warranty, and you can price one yourself in a few minutes.

The plans
Three levels of coverage
Each plan runs for a set term and mileage that you choose when you buy.
Powertrain
The parts that make the car move: engine, transmission and drive axle. The least expensive plan, and it covers the repairs that cost the most.
Plus
Everything Powertrain covers, plus more, including steering, braking, electrical and air conditioning parts.
Premium
The most complete plan. Everything on the car is covered except a short list of stated exclusions.
What to know first
Four things to understand before you buy
A listed part, or everything but a short list
Powertrain and Plus list the parts they cover. A part is covered when it's on that list. Premium works the other way: everything is covered except the exclusions it names. That's why an unusual part is far more likely to be covered under Premium than under Plus.
Which cars qualify
Up to 12 model years old, with up to 150,000 miles when you buy, registered in a state where Fair Warranty operates. Availability and price vary by state, so the quote asks for your ZIP code.
What no plan covers
Routine maintenance such as oil changes, filters, fluids and alignment. Wear items such as brake pads, wiper blades and tires. Cosmetic damage, rust, and damage from a crash, misuse or neglect. And any problem that already existed when the contract started.
Read the contract for your plan
Whether one specific part is covered comes down to the contract wording for the plan you buy, in the state where the car is registered. Sample contracts for each plan are on the quote pages, so you can read one before you pay.
How it fits with your auto policy
Two different jobs
A car warranty doesn't replace your auto insurance, and your auto insurance doesn't cover breakdowns.
- Auto insurance: crashes, theft, hail, fallen trees, hitting a deer, and your liability to other people.
- Vehicle service contract: covered mechanical and electrical repairs after the factory warranty runs out.
