A bumper-to-bumper warranty, also known as a comprehensive warranty, covers most vehicle parts between your car's front and rear bumpers
. It is the most comprehensive coverage available for a car, typically lasting for three years or 36,000 miles
. Some of the components covered by a bumper-to-bumper warranty include:
- Powertrain parts like the engine, transmission, drive shaft, and drive axles
- Braking components
- Heating and air conditioning systems
- Electrical parts like heated and power seats
- Steering system
- Suspension
- Fuel injection system
- Navigation
- Safety equipment such as air bags and seat belts
However, a bumper-to-bumper warranty does not cover items like your vehicle's actual bumpers or body panels
. Additionally, it does not cover wear and tear items, routine maintenance services, automotive glass, or aftermarket customizations
. Despite the name, a bumper-to-bumper warranty is the most comprehensive option available when it comes to protecting your vehicle
