Select Auto Protect Plan Pricing
Select Auto Protect doesn’t offer an online quote tool, so you’ll need to call a company representative to get coverage pricing for your vehicle. For a 2018 Toyota Camry with 28,000 miles on it, we received the following quote:
These prices are very competitive within the industry, especially if you’re looking for a 5-year warranty term. All plans must be paid in full upfront, but you can cancel anytime for a prorated refund. In addition, you can cancel within the first 30 days for a full refund.
How to file a claim with Select Auto Protect
There are no limits to how many claims you can file with Select Auto Protect and no caps on how much the company will pay out on your policy. Simply take your car to any ASE-certified mechanic and present your warranty information. The mechanic should call Select Auto Protect and they’ll pay your repair bill—minus the $100 deductible—over the phone. Select Auto Protect is available for claims calls 24/7.

What’s Unique About Select Auto Protect?
Select Auto Protect offers simple, no-nonsense policies that protect your car—and your wallet—in the event of a mechanical failure. The company doesn’t require that your car be under a certain age or mileage to get a warranty as long as it’s in working condition. Plus, there’s no limit on how much your policy will pay out.
Select Auto Protect offers a 30-day money-back guarantee after you purchase a new plan. In addition, the company matches competitors’ prices, so you can get a discount if you’ve got a cheaper quote from another extended car warranty service.

You’re only responsible for a $100 deductible per claim and there’s no limit to how many claims you can file.
