When we speak to our customers over the phone we try to develop a relationship of trust so that they know that everything that we do, we do it for them.

In fact, that’s the whole reason we’re in the extended coverage industry to help customers like the ones reading this now. Because of this, we sometimes ask a few weird questions in an attempt to get drivers the best price and highest coverage on an Endurance extended warranty. And while these questions may seem odd at first, trust us, your answer can only help us help you better.

A common question that we get a lot at Endurance is “Why do you need my VIN number?” Now a lot of you are probably reading this and have no idea what a VIN number is. For those of you who do not know, a VIN number is your Vehicle Identification Number. It is a serial code that helps identify your vehicle. Pretty self-explanatory, huh? (More information here.)

And some folks get a bit uneasy when we ask for it when trying to produce their Endurance extended warranty quote. But what they don’t understand that their VIN number is not some sort of private information that should be kept an absolute secret. In fact, it just helps us get you the most accurate quote for your extended coverage.

Besides, dealerships list cars for sale online with the VIN number! And anyone can see it through your windshield at the grocery store. Companies such as InstaVIN.com even use it to populate a vehicle history report. If a VIN number was something that could somehow reveal personal information about our customers, we wouldn’t ever ask for it!
