Yes, AAA offers a type of extended warranty. AAA's extended warranty program is called the AAA Vehicle Protection Plan, and it covers repairs to the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, and brakes, among other things after the manufacturer's warranty has expired. The cost of AAA's the AAA Vehicle Protection Plan varies depending on the vehicle, but it averages about $2400 for a 4 year plan, though vehicles with expensive parts can cost twice that.
In general, extended warranties are meant to keep drivers from paying out of pocket for sudden repairs, since mechanical problems are not covered by other types of auto insurance.
AAA Extended Warranties Cover:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Drive Axle
- Brakes
- Suspension
- Steering
- A/C & Heating
- Electrical System
- Fuel System
- Convenience Tech
- Cooling System
Coverage details can vary depending on which AAA plan you choose. Additionally, since the AAA Vehicle Protection Plan is designed to supplement the original manufacturer's warranty, cars must meet certain requirements to qualify.
the AAA Vehicle Protection Plan Eligibility Requirements
- Up to 150,000 miles
Coverage and eligibility details can vary by state. It's also worth noting that the AAA Vehicle Protection Plan is technically a vehicle service plan, which provides the same coverage as an extended warranty. However, vehicle service plans are offered by car insurance companies, whereas extended warranties are generally sold by dealerships or third-party companies.
