Are extended car warranties worth it?
Yes, especially if your vehicle is out of its factory warranty. Repairs to key systems like the engine, transmission, or electronics can cost thousands. An extended warranty helps you avoid unexpected expenses and gives you peace of mind.
Onust offers affordable, transparent coverage backed by real humans that are here to care for you. Our auto protection is easy to understand, flexible, and designed to protect everyday drivers from big repair bills.
What do extended car warranties cover?
An extended car warranty typically covers major components like the engine, transmission, drivetrain, A/C, suspension, and electrical systems. Coverage depends on the plan, but the goal is to shield you from high out-of-pocket repair costs.
With Onust, you get coverage that closely mirrors a new car warranty—plus the flexibility to use any certified repair shop and cancel anytime.
What’s the best extended car warranty company?
The best provider offers clear coverage, fair pricing, easy claims, and great support. Many large companies focus on aggressive sales and vague contracts, making it hard to know what’s really covered.
Onust is a trusted alternative. We’re a member-first company offering straightforward vehicle protection with real customer support and no fine print. You get flexibility, peace of mind, and a better experience from start to finish.
Can I get an extended warranty if my car is used or has high mileage?
Yes, many providers, including Onust, offer extended car warranty coverage for used or high-mileage vehicles. Eligibility varies by make, model, and mileage, but protection is often available well after the factory warranty expires.
How does an extended warranty work after my factory warranty expires?
When your factory warranty expires, an extended warranty steps in to cover repairs for approved mechanical or electrical breakdowns. You file a claim, and once approved, the warranty provider pays for the repair - minus your deductible.
With Onust, it’s simple: visit any licensed repair shop, have them contact us, and our Member Advocates handle the claim. No deductibles, dealership-only rules, or delays, just smooth support when you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are There Age or Mileage Limits to Sign Up for to Onust?
Most vehicles qualify for Onust Connect Plus+ if they have 125,000 miles or fewer and are no more than 11 model years old. However, European, diesel, and electric vehicles must have 65,000 miles or fewer at the time of enrollment to be eligible. Some vehicles may not qualify for coverage due to manufacturer exclusions or specific model restrictions.
If you’re unsure whether your vehicle is eligible, our Member Advocacy Center is here to help. Call us at +1 (833) 668-7848 (option 3) and we’ll gladly walk you through your options.
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
No, pre-existing conditions are not covered with Onust. A pre-existing condition is any mechanical issue that existed or was beginning to develop before your coverage began. This includes failures or malfunctions already present at the time of enrollment. As outlined in our terms and conditions, Onust may deny a claim if the issue is determined to be pre-existing. If a known issue is identified during or after sign-up, Onust is not responsible for repairs related to that condition.
If you have questions about your vehicle’s eligibility or condition, our Member Advocacy Team is happy to help.
How much money is needed upfront?
When you enroll in Onust Connect Plus+, a one-time activation fee and your first monthly subscription payment are due at sign-up. After that, you’ll be billed only your monthly subscription fee each month.
What are my cancellation options?
You can cancel your subscription anytime through the app or by contacting our Onust Member Advocacy Center at +1 (833) 668-7848. After cancellation, your benefits will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle.
Please note: Once you cancel your plan, you won’t be able to re-enroll the same vehicle in Onust Connect Plus+ in the future.
