Holiday Season Tip – Get a Vehicle Service Contract

The holiday times can be rather stressful. A vehicle service contract, colloquially known as an extended car warranty, is designed to alleviate the stress of daily and holiday travel. Our holiday season tip would be to take out a vehicle service contract, especially if your factory warranty has come to an end. A vehicle service contract (VSC) ensures that your car’s most important parts are covered, including labor for repairs, in the event of a mechanical breakdown. VSCs are offered under two main plans named the powertrain and bumper-to-bumper/exclusionary. There are plans in between allowing for better flexibility in coverage and terms. Most of these also include roadside assistance on a 24hr basis, something that is greatly handy during holiday time. Find out more about the VSC option available to you with the Chaiz search tool. The tool is completely online with no phone calls, allowing you to take your time and compare plans.
