The majority of bumper-to-bumper warranties will also include or offer as options added benefits and coverages such as towing, 24/7 roadside assistance, car rental and travel interruption reimbursement, wear and tear, seals and gaskets, and hi-tech electronic equipment coverage.
Even through these policies are called “bumper-to-bumper”, do not cover every single component on your vehicle from bumper to bumper. Make sure you read the policy to see exactly what is not covered. A bumper to bumper warranty is the most extensive coverage you can buy .
Wear and Tear Coverage Options
Wear and Tear coverage means that parts do not have to break for you to be covered. Should a part or component wear out prematurely it is covered. Wear is defined as “can no longer perform the function for which it was designed solely because of its condition".
When the part or component has worn beyond the manufacturer's tolerances allowed for a particular vehicle at the mileage when the problem occurs the part or component is covered.
Parts that are considered “normal maintenance” parts are not covered under a Wear and Tear option. These would be items like brake pads, shoes, drums or rotors, and manual clutches.
