Dealers often sell extended warranties when someone buys a car from them. Warranties from dealers might be bundled into the financing deal.
Online warranty companies
Many companies offer extended warranties that customers purchase directly from them. Customers can buy these warranties online or over the phone.
Credit unions and banks
Some credit unions and banks offer extended warranties when members buy a used car through them. These warranties might be backed by the credit union or bank or a third-party warranty company.
Third-party warranty companies
In addition to the warranties sold by dealerships and financial institutions, there are many independent companies that sell extended warranties. These companies offer a variety of plans, so buyers should compare prices and coverage before choosing one.
When buying an extended warranty, it's essential to read the terms and conditions carefully. Some warranties have many exclusions and limitations, so buyers must understand what is and isn't covered before purchasing.
