What all is not included in vehicle protection plans

Time and again, the stress has been placed on what all is covered under vehicle protection plans however as an informed buyer, you should be aware of all that is not covered in it too. An auto warranty contract is highly dependent on what all it includes as what all it does not include. Having a valid auto warranty contract is one that lays out all that is no and all that is yes.So, the next time you visit a company offering vehicle protection contract, do not be content with what all that is mentioned as ‘yes-its-there’ however also inquire about the exclusions.

Auto warranties are usually inclusive still there would be several parts of your car which will not be covered at all.  Here, we bring to you the list of items that no car warranty would cover. These include:

Exhaust systems
Sealed bulbs
Bright metal
Moldings
Upholstery
Paint
Tires
Batteries
Glass
Shock absorbers
Lens and other tit bits
Break pads
Air bags

Along with these, parts of the fuel transmission are often excluded as well. To get the turbo charged engines, cooling systems, conversions and diesel included in auto warranty, you are required to shell out more money. Some car owners even get the electronic systems and navigation systems covered too. Some warranties offer these items in the package.

The best way to know what all is covered and what is not in the car warranty policy, you can ask the company to categorize it. While some companies have this as part of their introduction and induction, others do not. Thus, it is always good to ask if they are not mentioning it.

Mechanical breakdown and wear and tear should be included too:

You have to confirm this before buying the warranty. Ideally, these two must be the part of the car warranties however different companies have different policies when it comes to inclusive items.

Vehicle protection plans make for an ideal option for both new as well as used cars. However, the trick to get the best policy is after much understanding and research of the field.  There is voluminous and detailed information available online about extended car warranty and vehicle protection plans.
