When shopping for an extended auto warranty or vehicle service contract, you may have many questions regarding coverage, benefits, and how it works. But one of the most frequently asked questions when shopping for almost anything is: "How much is this going to cost?"
We understand that budget is one of the most important factors when deciding on vehicle protection. While extra benefits and extensive coverage are intriguing, if it doesn’t make sense for you financially, it’s not a good fit. The good news is that we make the cost work for you while still providing top coverage and benefits.
What Goes Into CarShield’s Pricing?
CarShield plans vary in cost based on several factors because no two drivers or cars are exactly alike. A CarShield plan is built for your specific needs. Here’s what goes into the pricing:
- Your Vehicles Details
- Make, model, and year: Plan options are available, whether your car is new or old.
- Mileage: More miles on a vehicle means more parts that are likely to break down. That doesn’t necessarily disqualify you, but it does have an impact on pricing.
- VIN Number: This ensures we are covering the correct vehicle to get accurate pricing.
- Where You Live
Repair costs vary across the country. Labor rates in New York are different from those in Indiana. Your zip code will help us give you an accurate quote. - Deductible
The monthly payment can vary based on the deductible.
CarShield’s Pricing Model
CarShield is known for offering a month-to-month payment plan that has no long-term commitment. You can cancel anytime and have no large upfront costs.
CarShield vs. Other Warranty Companies
Unlike CarShield, many auto warranty and vehicle service contract companies only offer term plans that could range from 3 to 7 years. These plans usually require a large payment up front. That could mean paying thousands of dollars all at once, which is a huge expense most people aren’t ready for.
In addition to large upfront costs, many of these companies often have mileage limits and aren’t renewable. Meaning, once a vehicle reaches a certain number of miles, the coverage stops.
With CarShield’s month-to-month plans, you can start coverage for under $100/month in many cases, and you can cancel anytime. CarShield also doesn’t have any mileage limits, so you can get the protection you need no matter how many miles are on your vehicle.
