What’s Included in an Extended Warranty From Kia?

Your car is bound to break down at some point, so the question is how you are going to get it fixed–and who is going to fit the bill. An extended warranty from your Kia dealer is often the best and most cost-effective means of getting your car back on the road. Read on as we discuss what excellent coverage Kia cars have in their warranties.

Understand Kia’s Coverage Threshold

Per their warranty documentation, Kia vehicles have coverage for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles. You also get a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, with some limitations. There is a five-year/100,000-mile warranty for anti-perforation and a five-year/60,000-mile plan for emergency roadside assistance.

And here’s some more good news: this warranty applies to any Kia vehicle manufactured on or after the year 2008. Thanks to this plan, Kia owners have peace of mind many years after purchasing their vehicle.

Coverage for Unexpected and Unforeseen Repair Bills

With some limitations, you can rest assured that breakdowns and general repairs get coverage with your Kia warranty. Not only that, these repairs are handled by highly skilled Kia technicians who have been authorized by Kia itself.  You take it to your local Kia vehicle dealer, where it gets the premium treatment from sanctioned Kia technicians.

Emergency Assistance for Any Roadside Breakdowns

For many, roadside assistance sounds like a luxury subscription service that the average car owner cannot afford. But if you are a Kia owner, this service comes standard as part of your warranty. As long as you fall below the eligibility threshold, Kia gives you access to any of their 17,000 emergency roadside assistance operators. Whether you are in New Mexico or New Jersey, a nearby roadside assistance operator can replace a flat tire, swap out a dead battery, or top up your tank.

If your vehicle needs a bit more attention than that, they can give you a free tow to the nearest dealership for further inspection and repair. Even if this happens during a holiday or after hours, they’ll keep your vehicle safely stored until the next business day when it can get repaired.

Policy Covering Trip Interruption

While it’s great that Kia can fix your vehicle anywhere that there’s a Kia-authorized dealership, what about the costs associated with a trip interruption? Assuming you are at least 150 miles from your home and have to wait more than 24 hours to get your car back from the dealership, Kia provides a generous reimbursement for your rental car, meals, and required lodging. This amounts to $100 per day, with a maximum of three days coverage per individual incident.
