Fine Print

• Car warranties are usually written so that the warranty becomes invalid when the car is switched from one owner to another. Check the fine print of the warranty for this information.
  
  

Extended Car Warranty Transfer

• In most cases, the only way to transfer a warranty from one car to another is through an extended car warranty transfer. It usually forces the owner to extend the length, in years and miles, of the warranty.
  
  

Manufacturer Car Warranty

• Dealerships will give you a trade-in value for the coverage on your old car. They won't allow you to switch the policy over to the new car you have purchased.
  
  

Age

• The age of the car being turned in is an important factor when determining if the warranty will transfer to the new one. If the used car was purchased one to three years ago, the warranty has a greater chance of transferring.
  
  

Ask

• When you are searching for an automotive warranty broker, ask if they offer warranty packages that are transferable.
