Reimbursement for emergency repairs performed outside of normal business hours can be obtained by the service contract holder provided the provisions governing emergency repairs are followed on the next business day after such emergency repairs are performed. Please refer to the contract coverage pages for details.
Liberty STF Vehicle Service Contracts provide rental car coverage from a licensed vehicle rental company. Many repair facilities have loaner cars or have a rental facility onsite. However, if your repair facility does not provide rental cars, contact your local rental car company and retain your receipt. Your Vehicle Service Contract provides coverage: 1) As soon as the repair estimate is received and coverage is determined; 2) If your vehicle becomes inoperable and must remain at the repair facility as a result of an authorized mechanical breakdown or failure; 3) If the mechanical breakdown or failure has been authorized for four (4) or more hours of labor. Please refer to your actual Vehicle Service Contract for specific coverage limits and conditions. You must have an authorized and coverable claim to receive rental car reimbursement.

No matter how many parts require repair, Liberty STF customers only pay one deductible per repair visit. Many of our plans offer a zero deductible option, so customers will never reach into their pocket for an authorized and covered repair.

General FAQ
Vehicle service contracts are designed to protect consumers and their pocketbooks against unexpected, costly repairs to their vehicles. Plans cover the costs associated with auto repair, including parts, labor, and sales tax, for covered repairs or replacements. Vehicle service contracts have different coverage levels and benefits, depending on the type of contract purchased and the place of purchase; therefore coverage for any given repair is based on the terms and conditions of the consumer's particular plan. Much like a manufacturer's warranty, the vehicle components that are specified for coverage in the vehicle service contract should be covered entirely, provided regular maintenance has been properly and regularly performed as defined by the terms and conditions of the contract.
An "extended auto warranty" is a contract offered by a new car dealer to wrap the new car factory warranty and extend beyond it. A vehicle service contract is sometimes incorrectly referred to as an "extended auto warranty" or "extended warranty" if sold outside of a new vehicle purchase. The difference is subtle but important: extended auto warranties are offered by car dealers. Auto warranties are provided by a manufacturer and are included with the original vehicle purchase. In contrast, vehicle service contracts must be purchased separately and can be purchased at any time; although the earlier you purchase a vehicle service contract in the life of the vehicle, the better coverage you can usually obtain.
Auto warranties come with the product and are included in the purchase price. Vehicle service contracts, on the other hand, are agreements that are separate from the contract or sale of the product. They are separate either because they are made some time after the sale of the product, or because they cost the customer a fee beyond the purchase price of the product.
No. Vehicle service contracts are normally not affiliated with the auto manufacturers in any way. They are typically administered by a third party and are backed by an insurance company
