About our vehicle service contracts

With the protection of a Zurich vehicle service contract, you pay only a small deductible for a covered repair.

Benefits to you:
  • Flexible options for payment and level of coverage.
  • Additional protection – a service contract covers parts and labor costs to repair or replace major component parts.
  • Higher resale value – your vehicle service contract may be transferred to the next owner of your vehicle for a better sale price.
  • Nationwide acceptance – you can have your vehicle repaired in your hometown or while you’re away from home with nationwide acceptance.
Levels of coverage
You can choose from four levels of coverage. (See your service contract for complete details of these coverages.) All four levels below include rental reimbursement, trip interruption, and towing and emergency roadside assistance. Coverage is for factory-installed parts.
  • Powertrain
  • Standard
  • Preferred
  • Comprehensive

Where to buy
We sell our vehicle service contracts only through participating auto dealers. Ask your dealer about it.

Where to get your vehicle repaired
You can take your vehicle to any dealership or state-licensed repair facility. They can call us to verify coverage. If our portion of the repairs costs more than your deductible we can pay the repair facility with our corporate credit card. That way the shop gets paid quickly.

How are claims handled? How does the work get approved and paid for?

It works like this:
  1. Return your vehicle to the place where you bought it, or –
  2. If that’s not possible, take it to a licensed repair facility and show them your Vehicle Service Contract Identification Card.
  3. Authorize any charges needed to determine the cause of failure.
  4. The repair facility must call us with a diagnosis and receive an authorization for covered repairs. The number they call is 800 643-9059. (Should an emergency occur which requires a mechanical-breakdown repair be made at a time when our office is closed, you must call us no later than the next business day to determine if such repair will be covered by the contract.)
  5. Pay deductible and any non-covered expenses.
  6. Once repairs are completed, send a copy of the invoice/repair order to us by mail or fax here:
      Mail to: Zurich, P. O. Box 7943, Shawnee Mission, KS 66207-0943
      Fax to: 913 664-4100

      2. A notarized copy of the documentation evidencing change of the title and odometer reading at time of transfer.
