Your extended warranty can be Cancelled – Read below about how to cancel your Extended Warranty Coverage.
Can you cancel your extended warranty?
You can cancel your extended warranty at any time for a pro-rated refund through your selling dealer directly. In order to cancel your extended warranty you will need to contact your extended warranty company in writing, and let them know you would like to cancel your contract so they can send you instructions on how to do so. If you sell your Vehicle, you may be able to transfer your contract to the new owner if desired.
What are the most common reasons to cancel your extended warranty and claim a refund?
1.) You purchased a extended warranty and the terms and mileage have not expired. (Even if you no longer own the car, you can still qualify for a refund.)
2.) You traded in or sold your vehicle to a dealership or private party. (As long as you didn’t transfer the warranty to someone, you are most likely entitled to a refund.)
3.) Your vehicle was totaled by your insurance company or if it was stolen and not recovered.
4.) You refinanced your Car Loan. (Gap insurance doesn't carry over to the new loan)
How do I cancel my extended warranty?
"How do I cancel my extended warranty?" is always a question that doesn't have an easy answer. Since extended car warranties (service contracts) differ based on the company backing the warranty or the issuer, the methods for canceling vary. We'll provide you with some general steps in order to assist you in cancelling your extended warranty.
Step No. 1 – Review the warranty paperwork
Pull out the paperwork for your extended car warranty and look for the section that outlines cancellation. Once located, follow the instructions carefully.
Step No. 2 – Write a letter
Certain extended warranty companies require consumers to request cancellation in writing. If so, there may be a form to fill out. Write that letter, including the form, and keep copies of the cancellation documentation.
Step No. 3 – Give them a phone call
Instead of a letter, a phone call might help initiate the cancellation process. Reach out to the company you have the extended warranty with, explain that you wish to cancel, and follow the companies instructions on how to accomplish that task.
Step No. 4 – Follow up
After a few days, you should receive a cancellation confirmation. This may involve an email notification, text message, or letter in the mail. If you are due a refund, you should receiving a credit back to your original method of payment within 7-14 business days. Please note that timeframe can start from the time the company has acknowledged your cancellation request.
