Call 866-678-4172With the cost of a new car climbing higher and higher each year, even before the supply chain issues caused by the pandemic, purchasing a used car can often be a tremendous budget-friendly decision.
When you purchase a used car, however, it usually doesn’t come with any vehicle protection, as it’s likely past any powertrain or bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage the automaker or dealership gave it when it was brand new. The good thing is you can still get an extended auto warranty for used cars! But there is no simple answer about how much an extended warranty costs for a used car. Instead, to help you be better prepared when finding the right warranty provider and coverage for your vehicle, let’s go over how each extended warranty for a used car’s cost is determined.
Whether it’s an extension of your car’s manufacturer’s warranty coverage or a vehicle service contract (VSC) from a third-party provider like us at Endurance, there are several ways to help you get the best price on coverage for your vehicle:
Typically, the average cost of an extended warranty for a used car ranges from $350 to $700 per year, but every car owner and contract is different. For example, some providers may require you to pay the full cost of coverage upfront, whereas others allow for monthly payments. Overall though, here are a few factors that help determine the price of a vehicle protection plan on a used vehicle:
Whether you’re looking for basic powertrain coverage or near bumper-to-bumper coverage, several factors will determine how much it will cost to protect your used vehicle. But while the above factors are some of the most important, they’re not the only ones that can impact how much you pay. With Endurance, however, you can get customized coverage for your vehicle to help fit your needs and budget. To learn more, give our award-winning Endurance customer care team a call today.
At Endurance, your coverage is customized to fit your needs. Some customers pay for their contract in full when they enroll in our vehicle protection. Others take advantage of our ‘no-fee’ payment plans in 12 to 18-month payments, all with no fees or penalties. Either way, once your contract is paid, you no longer have to deal with any remaining payments apart from applicable deductibles. So if your contract is for five years, paying it off in less than two years means you’re payment-free for the remaining three.
Another great benefit of coverage from Endurance is that you can take your car to any certified mechanic or repair shop of your choice. Plus, no matter your plan, you’ll automatically be able to enjoy peace of mind with a 30-day money-back guarantee. There are also complimentary benefits, including 24/7 roadside and towing services to take you to the nearest repair facility, rental car reimbursement and trip interruption coverage. Some Endurance plans can even help you save on routine maintenance costs.
You’ll even get an entire year’s worth of FREE Endurance Elite Benefits, including even more perks and savings, including collision discounts, key fob replacements, total loss protection and tire coverage. That’s not all, as most Endurance plans are transferable, meaning you can use any active coverage to help upsell your vehicle should you ever look to sell it with your coverage still active.
Used car warranties can come with a lot of fine print to read through when it comes to coverage and cost, which is why reviewing some of the most frequently asked questions about them can help you:
Endurance auto protection plans are available for a wide range of makes and models. For those looking for the most coverage possible, plans such as Superior and Supreme can help provide comprehensive coverage with just a small list of exclusions, giving you as close to a car’s original bumper-to-bumper coverage as possible.
Whether it’s your everyday Ford, Toyota, Chevy, Honda or almost any other make or model of vehicle, Endurance can get you covered. Even Canadian Grey Market vehicles, vehicles with a salvage or rebuilt title, and even commercially used vehicles, including those used by delivery and rideshare drivers, can find coverage. Plus, select high-end luxury vehicles from automakers like Jaguar, BMW, Audi and more can get covered from expensive and unexpected repairs with the Highline protection plan.
Many factors go into the cost of an extended warranty, such as the age of the vehicle, mileage, driving habits, and more.
The cost of extending your car’s factory warranty with the automaker or dealership can be higher than that of a third-party provider like Endurance, Carchex, Carshield and more. This is mainly because the dealership or automaker often serves as a middleman; therefore, they want to profit somehow from your purchase. Endurance is a direct provider and develops our own coverage plans. Therefore we find a price that is best for you while still getting you the protection you need from unexpected repair costs.

Used cars are an excellent choice for any new or experienced car shoppers. But while they will cost less than a brand-new car, many won’t come with an active factory warranty to protect you from repair costs. Luckily, with the right extended warranty or vehicle protection plan, you can rest easy knowing you and your car are covered from costly repair bills, but you have to know how much coverage will cost you.
