A
bumper to bumper warranty, sometimes called a new car warranty,
or an exclusionary policy, is the most comprehensive coverage
available. They cover so many parts and components that
the policy does not list covered components, but only lists
parts not covered. Thus the term “exclusionary” since only
the items excluded from coverage are listed. Most bumper
to bumper plans also include roadside assistance, towing,
and car rental.
Bumper
to bumper coverage is typically available to what the industry
considers “new cars”. Usually that refers to vehicles up
to 50,000 miles, under 5 years old.
Every
warranty excludes some component, even the original factory
warranty. Make sure you read the policy to see exactly what
is not covered. Still, they are the most complete coverage
on the market.
