Here’s why Vehicle Protection Plans are Worth Buying

Basic warranties are often par for the course when a new vehicle is purchased – they range from three to five years of bumper-to-bumper coverage, with some additional longer warranties available on drivetrains and roadside assistance packages. When owners start running into trouble as their cars age, they often learn the hard lessons about what a warranty truly covers. A very proactive way to avoid these headaches-turned-nightmares is to purchase other optional protection plans that’ll provide owners with additional peace of mind down the road. For those who drive any vehicle from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) – meaning any Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram vehicle – there are plenty of factory-backed protection plans from Mopar.

There’s no better time than the present to get one of these Mopar protection plans, as they’re especially targeted towards FCA products that have been purchased within the last three years and have less than 36,000 miles on them – this is key to long-term savings. Special early-bird plans at discounted rates available for any vehicle that’s less than 12 months old and has less than 12,000 miles make investing in an additional protection plan affordable. With over 10 years of experience providing protection plans for FCA vehicles, Mopar is more than confident in the added value that their protection plans offer – they have a 100% money-back guarantee on every plan purchased within the first 60 days. If buyers are unhappy with the plan purchased for whatever reason they’ll be eligible for a full refund, no questions asked.

Mopar offers numerous protection plans, with some that are tailored to specific car parts such as the Mopar Road Hazard Tire & Wheel Protection Plan, and others that are more popular like the Maximum Care and Added Care Plus plans – both provide extensive coverage. The only difference between those two best-selling plans is the number of components that each covers – the Maximum Care Plan covers more than 5,000 components (that’s right, 5,000), while the Added Care Plus plan covers about 850 components. What’s included in these two plans? Let’s break it down.

• A $100 deductible that allows plan-holders to pay only the first $100 of the total cost of covered component repairs during each visit to the shop. Mopar takes care of the rest.
• A first-day rental allowance provides owners with a $35 credit towards a one-day, non-overnight car rental due to mechanical repairs or required maintenance service. Bodywork is excluded.
• A different kind of car rental allowance is also available when a covered component fails and causes the vehicle to be inoperable or in need of overnight repairs. The plan provides $35 per diem and up to $175 maximum per occurrence.
• Both plans offer a 24-hour “Sign-And-Go” towing and roadside assistance service (up to $100 per occurrence). Benefits include a flat tire change (a good spare is necessary), battery jump, lockout service, towing, and out-of-gas fuel delivery up to two gallons.
• Both plans also offer up to three key fob repairs or replacements up to a $600 value in total, with the service available even if the key fob is lost or stolen. The previously-mentioned deductible cannot be applied towards these type of repair visits.
• Should a vehicle become inoperable due to a failure covered by the plan or the manufacturer’s warranty, and should this mishap occur more than 100 miles from home, Mopar offers a $1,000 trip interruption benefit. Both plans pay up to $1,000 for meals, lodging, and car rental expenses should owners get stranded on the road during a trip.

These Mopar Vehicle Protection plans are tailored to FCA vehicles, but plenty of automakers offer similar protection plans that are worth looking into. Any protection plan is sure to add value and make vehicles easier to sell in the long run. In many cases, the remaining coverage can even be transferred to another owner at the time of vehicle sale.
