Volvo offers two extended warranty options for owners who want longer repair coverage through the Volvo Increased Protection (VIP) plan.

---

What do the Volvo Extended Warranty options cover?

Option 1 - Platinum

The VIP Platinum warranty covers the cost of parts and labor to repair breakdowns on the engine, transmission, drive axle, transfer case, hybrid elements, electronics, navigation, steering, heating, and cooling.

All components are covered except items listed as Platinum Exclusions on the brochure in the PDF Section below.

​Option 2 - Gold

The Gold coverage has a similar repair list that looks as good as the Platinum plan on the surface, but as we dive deeper into the fine print we discover that many costly items will not be covered.

​The Platinum warranty is a better value considering that nearly every repair will be covered with the guesswork about what is not covered removed by the exact list of exclusions.

---

How much is the repair copay?
​
Volvo offers three choices of deductible copay: $0, $100, and $250.

​The $0 copay seems like an easy choice, but think twice. The $100 deductible plan costs $700 less to purchase.

​Therefore, the F&I Tools Review finds the Volvo Platinum Extended Warranty with $100 deductible to be the best bang for the buck!

​
$0 Deductible: $4470
$100 Deductible: $3870
$250 Deductible: $3610

Is the extended warranty worth it?
​
Warranty extensions are a roll of the dice, so we need to select plans that put the odds in our favor.

​The most attractive, lowest costing plans are often not the best choices.

In order to win with an extended warranty, we need to buy bumper-to-bumper full coverage and keep the vehicle at least as long as the coverage.

​Remember to select a term and mileage tailored to your intended usage, and you’ll come out on top!

Where can I buy the Volvo Increased Protection (VIP) Extended Warranty?

Buy the Volvo extended warranty from the same dealer you plan to visit for service. Dealer bonuses depend on your satisfaction, and repeat customers are sent follow-up emails by Volvo to ensure compliance.

​Inform the Service Advisor that you know the importance of surveys and enjoy giving good marks.

​You will be amazed by the difference in your overall experience.
