Prices will vary depending on the age and condition of your vehicle, your plan selection, and your deductible. Plans typically cost around $100–$150 per month for a $100 deductible. You can pay upfront for a discount or stretch your protection plan payments over 36 months.
How to File a Claim with Endurance
You can bring your car to any ASE-certified mechanic for repairs, and Endurance will pay your repair bill directly. So, the only money you need to pay out of pocket is your deductible. Simply give your auto protection plan information to your mechanic and they will contact Endurance for payment.
Is Endurance Legit?
Endurance has been in business since 2006 and has a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot after more than 3,600 reviews. The company has a C-rating with the Better Business Bureau, but this is largely due to a complaint about Endurance’s advertising practices, not the quality of its policies.

When you sign up for an Endurance plan, you automatically get 1 year free of Elite Benefits.

What about the Endurance App?
Endurance offers a free mobile app for iOS and Android. It’s mainly designed to help you take advantage of Endurance Advantage benefits, but you can use the app to call for 24/7 roadside assistance or find a mechanic near you once your Advantage trial ends.
