We provide the most comprehensive mechanical breakdown coverage, just like the coverage that you would receive through a new factory warranty. As an active subscriber, not only is this coverage available for a lifetime, but starts day one! We only have one level of coverage, removing any confusion with clearly defined exclusionary criteria.

By subscribing to Onust Connect Plus, you save up to 92% upfront on traditional pricing of mechanical breakdown protection.

Additionally, our activation fee allows for no inspections and no deductibles!

No, the Onust Connect Plus mechanical breakdown coverage pays for mechanical failures. Your automobile insurance does not provide coverage for mechanical parts and labor failures.

The only requirements are that your vehicle has less than 100,000 miles (65,000 for a small subset of vehicles) at the time of activation, is not older than 10 model years, and your specific vehicle qualifies for coverage.

Most vehicles are eligible as long as they have 100,000 miles or fewer and are not older than 10 model years. A limited number of vehicles are only eligible if they have 65,000 miles or fewer and are not older than 10 model years. Of note, some vehicles are ineligible for mechanical breakdown coverage. For a list of these vehicles please reference the Onust Connect Plus plan page.

Onust created Onust Connect Plus mechanical breakdown coverage with you in mind. You benefit by only being required to pay the one-time activation fee and your monthly subscription rate, so that you are not paying more in a time of need.

An activation fee is a one-time fee determined by vehicle make, model and mileage. This one-time fee provides you with lifetime mechanical parts and labor coverage, zero deductibles and first day coverage without the hassle of any inspections or other unnecessary requirements (specific for Onust Connect Plus).

As a subscriber, you can rest assure that every Onust subscription comes with 24/7 Roadside Assistance for any mechanical breakdown. At Onust, we feel that you should not have any less coverage than what the original manufacturer of your vehicle provides. We only offer one high level of comprehensive exclusionary coverage, through our Onust Connect Plus plan. We’ve made it easy and disclosed up-front our non-covered components, and conditions. If it’s not listed here, it’s covered:

1. Audio speakers and wiring
2. Starting, Lighting, Ignition (“SLI”) Battery
3. Fuses and fusible links
4. Body, body panels, body fasteners, chassis frame and bumpers
5. Brakes, Brake Pads, Rotors
6. Bright metal, trim, upholstery, carpet, insulation, and paint
7. Fabric Convertible top
8. Exhaust system and catalytic converter
9. Glass including foggy or hazy headlight lenses
10. Manual transmission clutch disc, pressure plate and throw-out bearing
11. Tires, wheels, and wheel covers
12. Any parts or components of a natural gas/propane fuel system.

While these are the only non-covered parts, keep in mind that any mechanical failure due to pre-existing conditions will also not be covered. Additionally, you have responsibilities to perform basic maintenance.

A pre-existing condition is any mechanical failure that was happening or happened before subscribing to the Onust Connect Plus mechanical breakdown coverage plan. We specifically state in our terms and conditions that we have the right to turn down any claim if we find out a pre-existing condition was the cause of a mechanical failure.

There are a few reasons why you are unable to receive a quote for mechanical breakdown coverage through our Onust Connect Plus subscription. One of them being that your vehicle is either over the 100,000-mile limit or is 10 model years older than the current date. You might also have a vehicle that is excluded (check our ineligible vehicles list on the Onust Connect Plus plan page). If these explanations don't answer your question, please feel free to call the Onust Member Advocacy Center at +1 (833) 668-7848 for further assistance.

Listed or stated parts coverage is a specific list of parts that are only covered through a certain plan. Exclusionary coverage states uncovered parts only, otherwise parts not listed are covered under that plan for mechanical failures.

We do not have waiting periods because the subscriber pays an activation fee for the Onust Connect Plus plan to get started day one. Thus, waiting periods and inspections are not necessary for the subscriber. We save you time and get you on the road faster!

All you need is your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and current actual mileage to subscribe.

You may find your VIN number in a handful of places, including on your vehicle registration, your insurance card, the inside of your driver side door panel within the barcoded sticker, or on the bottom right of the front windshield.

VIN numbers provide information specific to your vehicle, such as year, make, model and engine size. We need this information to provide you with an accurate quote for Onust Connect Plus.

Unique to the Onust subscription, no vehicle inspections are required.

The car's vehicle identification number (VIN) is the identifying code for a SPECIFIC automobile. The VIN serves as the car's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. A VIN displays the car's unique features, specifications, and manufacturer.

You may use rideshare services until your vehicle is repaired. (The coverage limit for the usage of rideshare services is three hundred and fifty dollars ($350) and cannot exceed fifty dollars ($50) per twenty-four (24) hour period).

An estimated quote is one that is given to you based off of the VIN number you inputted in the quoting process. The value will be corrected when the actual information is identified. In order to give you an accurate estimated quote, it is vital that you provide the correct total mileage of your vehicle. Your vehicle’s total mileage can be found on your dashboard. Although every vehicle’s dashboard is designed differently, each car has a trip odometer (to measure short trips) and a main odometer (to measure a vehicle's total mileage). All that we need is your vehicle’s total mileage. Tip: If your odometer says “Trip” you are looking at your trip mileage, not your total mileage. For specifics on how to change your odometer settings, please reference your vehicle owner's manual.

The VIN drives the quoting process with the exact information that you had not inputted yet. When entered, the VIN shows you a corrected quote.
