Once the manufacturer’s warranty on your car expires, you could end up paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars out of pocket for extensive repairs. This is why finding a good extended car warranty can be a smart choice that could save you a lot of money and keep your mind at ease.
Often times, buying an extended protection plan from a reputable third party provides more affordable and flexible coverage than a dealership. Your plan options from a dealership will typically be limited with fewer levels of coverage. The dealer could also add on the cost of the coverage to your monthly car payments, which means you will end up paying more for the plan over time because of interest.
There are many third-party options out there, and it’s critical that you research your options before buying a warranty.

When looking for the best third-party auto warranty for a used car, you should buy the most comprehensive coverage you can afford. Here are some factors to consider when researching third-party car warranties:
CARCHEX has five extended warranty plans with flexible terms to fit the needs of all drivers. For those that want maximum coverage, CARCHEX offers bumper-to-bumper protection. For those that want minimal coverage, there is also a plan for powertrain protection. For those that want coverage somewhere in between those two, there are three other plan options. The chart below gives more details on the plans.
Plan | Description | Coverage Length |
Titanium | This is CARCHEX’s highest level of coverage with bumper-to-bumper protection that covers everything minus a short list of exclusions. | Up to 10 Years |
Platinum | This is the highest level of component coverage, which means the contract lists all of the covered components instead of the excluded components. It covers hundreds of parts for all of your major systems. | Up to 10 Years |
Gold | This plan is a step lower than the Platinum, but it still provides comprehensive coverage for your major systems. It is also a good fit for cars with more than 60,000 miles. | Up to 10 Years |
Silver | This plan provides just a little more coverage than your basic powertrain by covering essential elements of your major systems. It is suitable for high-mileage vehicles. | Up to 7 Years |
Bronze | This is the powertrain plan that covers the most common and expensive repairs, like those for the engine and transmission. | Up to 6 Years |
