How Does Onust's Mechanical Breakdown Coverage Differ From Other Companies?
We provide the most comprehensive mechanical breakdown coverage, just like the coverage you would receive through a new manufacturer's factory warranty. As an active subscriber, not only is this coverage available for the lifetime of your vehicle, but your coverage starts immediately. We only provide one high level of coverage, removing any confusion with our clearly defined exclusionary criteria.
By subscribing to Onust Connect Plus, you can save up to 92% upfront on traditional pricing of mechanical breakdown protection.
Additionally, our activation fee allows for no inspections and no deductibles, which makes it a seamless process for you.
What are the age or mileage limits to subscribe to a plan that includes technology coverage (e.g. Onust Connect Tech)?
To sign up for Onust Connect Tech, your vehicle has to be under 150,000 miles at time of sign up, and 15 model years or newer. Once signed up within these qualification requirements, you can have coverage for the lifetime of your vehicle as long as you pay your monthly subscription fee!
Is My Current Auto Insurance Coverage the Same as Onust's Mechanical Breakdown Coverage?
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.
Are There Vehicle Age or Mileage Limits to Subscribe to Onust Connect Plus?
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.

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.
Why Did Inputting My VIN Change My Estimated Quote?
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.
