CarShield Motorcycle & ATV Coverage (2023 Guide)

The CarShield Motorcycle & ATV extended warranty is one of the only contracts in the industry that provides coverage for specialty vehicles, like motorcycles and ATVs. While its coverage differs from CarShield’s other plans, this comprehensive coverage plan still covers components of major systems like the engine, transmission, drive axle and steering.

What Does the Motorcycle & ATV Plan Cover?

The Motorcycle & ATV coverage plan from CarShield covers 13 total vehicle systems. The contract explicitly lists out the components that are covered in each part of the specialty vehicle. The table below explains in further detail which components are covered under the Motorcycle & ATV warranty.

*The items listed in the above table are not the only items covered under the warranty.

As with other coverage options offered by CarShield, a sample contract is available on the company’s website for the Motorcycle & ATV coverage plan. The contract is backed by the warranty administrator American Auto Shield and outlines specific contract exclusions.

CarShield Motorcycle & ATV Coverage Exclusions

While the Motorcycle & ATV plans are different from other bumper-to-bumper and powertrain plans offered by CarShield, there are still exclusions you should be aware of. 

Your Motorcycle & ATV warranty contract won’t cover the following:

• Repairs performed without prior authorization
• Damage caused by a lack of maintenance, like not getting oil changes
• Items that wear out naturally over time, like brake pads or tires
• Damage caused by acts of nature, car accidents, vandalism or theft
• Damage caused by negligence or abuse, like street racing
• Issues caused by personal alterations made to the car
• Conditions that existed before your contract date started

The Motorcycle & ATV warranty also won’t cover parts that are still under the manufacturer’s warranty. In that instance, your factory warranty would come first, and your extended warranty would only kick in if the initial warranty didn’t cover the part.

Overall, costs for the Motorcycle & ATV plan vary based on several factors. You can expect the type of specialty vehicle you own and its mileage to significantly impact extended warranty costs. You’ll likely also be required to choose a deductible option with the Motorcycle & ATV plan.

CarShield tends to offer deductible options like $0, $50, $100 and $200. The lower your deductible, the more you’ll pay for your plan overall.
