Vehicle Protection
Major vehicle breakdowns often come after the original factory warranty has expired. The expense, inconvenience and energy it takes to manage repairs can be overwhelming, and we’re here to lessen the burden when that time comes. Depending on the age and mileage of your vehicle, you can purchase up to 120,000 miles of additional protection, so you’ve got the support you need for the long haul.
We’re there for you starting the day you purchase your vehicle protection plan. When it comes time for a covered repair, you can select any licensed repair facility in the U.S. or Canada. With Century, you’ll be in good hands no matter where you are.
Read on for more detailed information on our plans. Please note, not all products and programs are offered or available in all states.
Coverage Levels
Based on the age, mileage, make and model of your vehicle, we offer up to three coverage levels. Depending on the option you select, you may be responsible for a deductible.
