Vehicle repair protection

Help protect your budget from costly covered car repairs.

Cars are expensive enough without an unexpected mechanical breakdown. A Drive1 Vehicle Service Agreement can help cover eligible repair costs after your factory warranty ends, with multiple protection levels for vehicles of different ages and mileage.

When your warranty ends

Your car can keep running. Your factory warranty won't.

Keeping a vehicle longer can make financial sense. But once factory coverage expires, the cost of an unexpected engine, transmission, electrical, air-conditioning or other mechanical failure may fall on you.

Drive1 gives eligible vehicle owners another option: choose a level of protection before the repair happens.

Instead of wondering how you would handle the next unexpected repair bill, you can know what your agreement covers, what it doesn't and what to do when something goes wrong.

Coverage for different vehicles

Start with your vehicle. Then choose the protection that fits.

Drive1 offers protection ranging from broad exclusionary coverage for eligible newer vehicles to powertrain-focused protection for older, higher-mileage vehicles.

BROADEST ELIGIBLE COVERAGE

Broad protection for eligible newer vehicles.

Designed for qualifying vehicles up to the current model year plus seven years and with fewer than 100,000 miles at purchase.

When your car actually breaks

This is the part that matters.

Buying vehicle protection only has value if you understand what happens when you need to use it.

You choose a licensed repair facility.

Take your vehicle to a licensed repair facility of your choice.

The repair facility contacts Drive1.

Before repairs begin, the facility calls Drive1 so the problem can be diagnosed and the claim reviewed for authorization.

Approved repairs are handled with the facility.

For an authorized covered repair, Drive1 works with the licensed repair facility through the claims process.

Important: Always obtain prior authorization before directing a repair facility to begin covered repairs, except where your agreement specifically provides otherwise.

Save your deductible at participating RepairPal Certified shops.

Drive1 customers with an eligible claim can use a participating RepairPal Certified repair facility and may qualify to have the applicable deductible waived.
