While the Hyundai new vehicle limited warranty is one of the most generous factory warranties on the market, many owners may want to extend warranty protection. After the limited warranty, which lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, Hyundai owners can opt for extended warranty coverage when they purchase a vehicle at a Hyundai dealer.


For Hyundai, all the long-term warranty plans are called Hyundai Protection Plan Vehicle Service Contracts. Each of these protection plans is designed to last for 100,000 miles or up to 10 years, whichever comes first. There are three tiers to choose from, so you can customize the protection you want for covered mechanical breakdowns. 

Powertrain

If you want basic long-term coverage for your powertrain, this tier may be the best fit. The Powertrain plan will cover most components of the engine, transmission, and drive axle, which can significantly cut down on repair costs for some of the most expensive parts of your vehicle. 

Gold

The second tier is the Gold plan, which covers all the components included in the Powertrain plan in addition to components like the front and rear suspension, shocks, climate control system, fuel system, and electrical system. 

Platinum

The top-tier protection plan offers the most comprehensive coverage, similar to the bumper-to-bumper coverage offered by the limited factory warranty. Along with all the components covered by the Gold plan, components such as the brakes, steering, CV boots, navigation, audio system, and high-tech features are also covered by the Platinum plan. 

What Are Protection Plan Perks?

In addition to the 10-year coverage for each of these protection plans, each of these protection plans includes perks to give drivers peace of mind. Drivers will be able to access nationwide service at participating dealerships, along with towing services to an authorized service provider, and 24-hour roadside assistance. Drivers will also be reimbursed for trip interruption for up to five days and rental cars for up to 10 days while the covered vehicle is being repaired. 



Can Your Hyundai Dealer Help You Decide Which Plan Is Best for You?

If you can’t decide which protection plan is best for you, your local dealership may be able to help. In general, the best time to sign up for extended protection is when you purchase your new or certified pre-owned Hyundai. The plan that is best for you will depend on your driving style and the repairs you can expect to have. If you know you have a tendency to wear out your battery or your brakes, it’s best to opt for a protection plan to cover these components.


Whether you want basic protection from the Powertrain plan or comprehensive coverage from the Platinum plan, protection plans can extend your warranty coverage and reduce repair costs. To learn more about how to sign up for these protection plans, contact Crain Hyundai of North Little Rock.
