How to Transfer Your Vehicle Protection Plan

A vehicle protection plan is one of the most important things you can do to keep your car running apart from regular oil changes - but that plan does not have to stop with you. When it comes time to sell your car, you can offer to transfer the vehicle protection plan to whoever buys your car. Therefore, a protection plan not only covers your car for needed repairs, but increases your resale value as well.

Think about this, most used car dealers offer some guarantee that a car they sell has been inspected. However, these guarantees typically only last around 30 to 90 days and do not offer to make any automotive repairs. They usually just promise the ability to return the car for another one to repeat the process. By transferring your vehicle protection plan when you sell your car to an individual you can offer a guarantee better than most car dealers and probably a better selling price as well, making you more likely to get your car sold. That is just another way Smart Choice protects your ride and your wallet.
