Your VW dealership wants to help you secure all the benefits of owning a Volkswagen. Read on for more information about one major potential perk: the new extended warranty.
The VW Extended Warranty: Carefree Coverage
Volkswagen’s suite of ownership benefits, known as Carefree Coverage, comes standard with every new VW model purchased. The initial plan includes two years or 20,000 miles of scheduled carefree maintenance, 24/7 roadside assistance, and a four-year or 50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty.
If you want expanded protection, however, Volkswagen Drive Easy’s Vehicle Service Protection upgrade is a solid investment.
Warranty Coverage
With a Drive Easy VSP plan, you can potentially extend the aforementioned warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Just as with the limited warranty, this benefit will cover factory defects and many mechanical breakdown failures. Typical wear-and-tear or damage derived from an accident are generally not included in coverage. Specific parts covered will depend on the tier of the plan you choose.
The basic powertrain extension, for example, will pay (minus deductibles) for the repair or replacement of the engine, transmission, drive axle, and hybrid/electric components. The mid-level gold extension adds coverage for electrical and fuel system parts, front and rear suspension, shocks, and climate control. The most robust coverage is under the platinum tier, which also covers steering, brakes, navigation, audio, CV boots, and high-tech components.
Roadside Assistance
Your 24 hours a-day, seven days a week roadside assistance continues under VW Drive Easy. Many commonly needed services are available with this assistance: flat tire fixes, towing, fuel refills, lock-out aid, and battery jumpstarts.
Reimbursements
If your VW is out of commission, the Drive Easy plan may help you pay for expenses you incur. For one, if you need a rental car to get you around, you could be reimbursed as much as $35 a day for up to ten days for your rental costs. Likewise, if your VW breaks down while you’re on vacation at least 100 miles away from your home, you could see up to $200 a day (for five days) of compensation for meals and lodging.
Why Go Extended with a VW Dealership?
VW Drive Easy plans are only available through your local VW dealer. With enhancements like the trip interruption coverage, these plans are among the most generous in the business. Plus, if you trust repairs to the dealer who sold you the warranty, then you might even get to forego your deductible with the disappearing deductible option. Choosing these plans also means you’ll be assured of genuine Volkswagen parts for servicing.
Further, if you sell your vehicle, the plan you choose is transferrable. While many VW models like the Volkswagen GTI boast above-average reliability ratings, you can never forecast when an unexpected issue might arise.
