Auto insurance covers crashes. It stays quiet when a transmission fails or the AC dies in July. That hole is Endurance's whole business: a vehicle service contract that shares the cost of major mechanical failures after the factory warranty expires. For now, new customers knock $300 off a new plan. Getting a price is roughly a two-minute job.
Covered in three moves
- Start the free quote A handful of questions about your car, about two minutes, zero commitment.
- Pick your coverage Set the coverage level and term around your vehicle and what you can spend. New plans come with $300 off.
- Roll on with backup Covered part gives out? Your dealer or any ASE-certified mechanic handles the fix, and the plan chips in on the bill.
What one repair can run you
| Engine (average) | $3,350 |
|---|---|
| Transmission (average) | $3,375 |
| Air conditioner (average) | $1,800 |
| Your cost for covered repairs under Endurance | $0* |
*Covered repairs only, on a plan that is active, and a deductible may still apply. Endurance provides the average repair figures. Real costs swing from car to car, and coverage shifts from plan to plan.
What sets Endurance apart
Endurance got its start selling vehicle protection plans back in 2006, and its lineup bends to your car rather than one fixed package. High-mileage vehicles can get coverage. So can cars up to 20 years old. And eligible plans bring 24/7 roadside assistance, and the first year of everyday driver benefits costs nothing.
Two details matter the day something breaks. First, you pick the shop. Covered work can go to your dealer or to any mechanic who is ASE-certified, though pre-authorization is required and you may owe a deductible. Second, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. Buy, read the contract at home, and cancel inside that window if it falls short. By Endurance's own averages, one repair can cost thousands. That is the argument for having cover before the bill shows up.
Who it suits
Maybe not if you
- Drivers who want accident or collision protection. That is a job for auto insurance, not a service contract
- Drivers in California or Florida counting on the $300 discount; price discounts are not available in those states
Know this first

What Endurance sells are vehicle service contracts, known as vehicle protection plans. Neither a manufacturer warranty nor auto insurance is on the menu. In California, the product Endurance offers is Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI). How much is covered, the deductible and how claims get paid will vary with the plan you purchase, mileage, vehicle age and any pre-existing conditions.

Questions about Endurance
1What is an Endurance plan, in plain words?
It is a vehicle service contract. When your manufacturer warranty is over, it shares the cost of covered mechanical breakdowns. Crashes are an insurance job. Worn-out or broken parts are a service contract job.
2Do I pay for a quote?
No. It is free, takes roughly two minutes and asks for no commitment. What a plan costs you comes down to your car and the coverage you choose.
3Which cars qualify?
Lots of them. Big-mileage cars are welcome, as are vehicles up to 20 years old. Mileage, age and the plan you pick then set eligibility, coverage and price.
4Am I stuck with one repair shop?
No. Use your dealership or any repair facility that is ASE-certified. Endurance must approve the repair in advance, and a deductible may be part of your plan.
5Does roadside assistance come with it?
It does on eligible plans. There you get 24/7 roadside assistance alongside everyday driver benefits. The plan you buy decides the exact benefits.
