Car warranties are not just for working adults! They can be one of the best things a parent purchases for their college age children. Why? The most important aspect of a car warranty is that it covers the costs for much-needed vehicle repair, including parts and service. College students are not known for driving new and maintenance-free vehicles. They are often driving used, old, and worn-out cars that need to be repaired from time to time. These benefits of getting an auto protection plan go far beyond paying for necessary repairs, and they are available to any student driving to college.
What are the major benefits of car warranties for college students?
1. They Protect Older Cars
College students often drive older, well-loved vehicles. This is a nice way of saying that their parents have given them their old cars (or helped them purchase something used) for commuting to school and running errands. These cars work, but they aren’t the most reliable. They also tend to be more prone to mechanical failure as well as wear and tear. A car warranty acts as a shield, ensuring that even aging cars can continue to function optimally without burdening the student with unexpected repair costs.
There is a need for every student owning an older car to have a car warranty. At Everything Breaks, our auto protection plans cover vehicles of any age and up to 250,000 miles. Students will enjoy riding freely without thinking of the car failing and costing them hundreds or thousands to repair.
2. They Cover Moat Repair Bills
College life is notorious for tight budgets. Students must juggle tuition, housing, and living expenses, leaving little room for unexpected car repairs. A car warranty becomes a financial safety net, covering repair bills and preventing unexpected expenses from derailing a student’s financial stability, or that of their parents.
Most college students need more money. They always face financial challenges that can cripple them financially. With a car warranty, they will only have to pay a small amount for the repair. Our plans cover all the major mechanical and electrical systems on vehicles; the ones most likely to fail at some point in the vehicle’s lifetime.
College is expensive for you and your kids; your vehicle’s protection plan shouldn’t have to be. Our plans start at just a dollar a day for critical coverage.
3. They Make Repairs Quick and Easy
College students have classes, activities, social engagements, and even the (hopefully not too often) party to attend. Bottom line: they don’t have a lot of free time, and when they’re miles away from home, they can’t rely on their parents to help them get their car to a repair center.
With a car warranty, they get the convenience of choosing a repair center anywhere in the country, ensuring that they can get their car fixed quickly and conveniently, minimizing disruptions to their academic and personal commitments.
4. Free towing, roadside assistance, and free rental cars
Student car warranties come with many additional benefits like free towing, roadside assistance, and free rental cars. The good thing is that these benefits come at a small price, which makes them affordable, these benefits are available countrywide. This means that your child can enjoy free towing and roadside assistance even when they are far from home.
If their car breaks down, they won’t even have to worry about finding a temporary rental vehicle. Students can get one at no cost. This means they will save time and effort trying to secure a rental during unexpected emergencies.
5. They Give Parents Peace of Mind
For parents, sending their child off to college is both exciting and nerve-wracking. A car warranty offers peace of mind, knowing that their child is not only protected on the road but also equipped to handle any unexpected hiccups without financial strain. It’s a practical way for parents to support their child’s independence while ensuring their safety and well-being.
Those who have purchased protection plans for their kids can attest to the fact that not only are their children able to rely on their old cars to get to school and travel from place to place, but they also keep them working well 24/7/365.
