        As with any luxury vehicle, repairs to a Land Rover SUV can be extremely costly. But with a Land Rover extended warranty, you won’t always have to foot the bill.

        In this article, we’ll review what Land Rover’s extended warranty covers and see how it stacks up against some of the best extended warranty providers on the market.

        Land Rover Extended Warranty Overview

        Land Rover does not provide much information about its extended warranty on its website, but it does state that its one comprehensive protection plan offers “extensive mechanical and electrical vehicle coverage” for “generous claim and mileage allowances.”

        During our review process, we called a dealership to get more clarity on term limits. A sales representative said Land Rover extended warranty coverage was available for up to 10 years/150,000 miles, depending on the model and mileage of the vehicle. The representative also told us that extended plans were offered through CNA National Warranty Corporation. This may change from dealer to dealer, so be sure to confirm with your local Land Rover retailer.

        We were able to find the following examples of covered parts and components listed on a few various dealership websites: 

        What’s Covered
        EngineAll internally lubricated parts, including the piston pins, rings, connecting rods and bearings,
        and crankshaft and main bearings
        TransmissionAll internally lubricated parts within transmission cases, including the torque converter,
        filler tube, dipstick, vacuum modulator, internal linkage and transmission mounts
        Drive AxleAll internally lubricated parts within the differential housing, transaxle housing and final drive housing
        Air ConditioningAir-conditioner compressor, clutch, clutch pulley, clutch coils and electrical HVAC actuators
        Heating/CoolingWater pump, thermostat, radiator and mounting brackets, and coolant recovery unit
        ElectricalStarter, alternator, voltage regulator, distributor, ignition coil, wiring harness, solenoids and ignition switch
        BrakingMaster cylinder, power assist booster, wheels cylinders, combination valves, disc calipers,
        and metal hydraulic lines and fittings
        SuspensionStruts, mounting plates, retainer and bushing, upper and lower control arms,
        and control arm shafts and bushings
        SteeringGear housing and all internally lubricated parts, including the rack and pinion,
        power steering pump, and main and intermediate shafts
        Fuel DeliveryFuel pump, fuel tank, fuel tank sending unit, fuel injectors, and metal and plastic fuel lines
        Enhanced SystemsCoverage for high-tech components like blind spot monitors, hands-free systems, rear monitoring systems,
        driver information center, keyless access, navigation, multimedia interface and voice recognition/command systems

        Although this coverage seems standard across multiple dealerships’ websites, it’s best to contact your local retailer and comb through a Land Rover extended warranty contract to see exactly what would be covered on your vehicle. Some dealers say customers can make unlimited claims or cover repairs up to the equivalent total purchase price of the vehicle.

        What the Land Rover Extended Warranty Does Not Cover

        Because there’s such limited information available online about Land Rover’s extended warranty, it’s hard to say what’s not covered in the service plan. Again, we recommend contacting your local dealership to see a sample contract and thoroughly reviewing it before signing on the dotted line.

        One thing we did find that may limit the appeal of Land Rover’s extended warranty is that you’ll need to bring your vehicle to the dealership for service. While this may be a problem depending on where you’re located, it can add peace of mind that your vehicle will only be worked on by Land Rover technicians using genuine parts.

        Additional Benefits of a Land Rover Extended Warranty

        Land Rover says on its website that warranties come with travel protection while abroad and the option to include Land Rover Assistance. However, specific dealership websites say roadside assistance benefits run the full duration of your service agreement.

        Again, few details are provided about the roadside assistance, but if it’s the same as what’s offered in the factory warranty, it will help drivers with:

        • Flat tire changes 
        • Emergency fuel delivery 
        • Battery jump-starts
        • Unlocking services 
        • Trip-interruption benefits 

        It will also tow your vehicle to the nearest dealership (or to your preferred Land Rover dealer if it’s within 50 miles) for free.


        How Much Does a Land Rover Extended Warranty Cost?

        To get a better idea of what a Land Rover extended warranty costs, we contacted our local dealership to get a quote for a 2019 Discovery Sport with 6,000 miles on it. For the maximum term limit, 10 years/150,000 miles, we were quoted $6,400 with a $0 deductible or $5,400 with a $200 deductible.

        On Land Rover’s website, the company specifies that extended warranties have tiered deductibles depending on where you take your vehicle to be serviced: $0 at a dealership and $100 at any other repair facility. Specific dealer websites, however, offer conflicting pricing, advertising a $100 deductible at the dealership and $250 at other repair facilities. And when we called our local dealer, the deductible options were $0 or $200.

        We also found figures in our research that priced a 7-year/100,000-mile term limit at $5,870. It was unclear what vehicle or deductible this price entailed, but it seems about in the ballpark of the quote we received.

        It’s important to note that Land Rover extended warranty coverage must be purchased while the factory warranty is still in place. This could cause you to pay for unnecessary overlapping coverage. Your dealer will also probably offer to roll the price of the extended plan into your vehicle payments, but keep in mind that this way, you’ll end up paying interest on it, which will drive the price up even more.

        Land Rover states that transferability and cancellation options are available on extended plans, but details are not specified.


        Dealership vs. Third-Party Extended Coverage

        While Land Rover’s extended warranty may cover everything you need, it falls short when it comes to flexibility. That means you may be paying premium prices to cover repairs for parts of your vehicle that you could easily pay out-of-pocket for.

        With a third-party extended warranty, you have more flexibility to pick from several plans that often range from basic powertrain coverage to full bumper-to-bumper protection. Third-party warranties are also generally cheaper than what the manufacturer offers.

        Here are some additional reasons a third-party provider might be your best bet:

        • Longer coverage terms: The Land Rover extended warranty only covers your car up to 10 years or 150,000 miles. That’s a generous amount of time, but some third-party providers offer coverage up to 20 years/250,000 miles, which means you could get more life out of your vehicle.
        • Choice of repair shops: With most third-party warranty providers, there’s no need to go to a Land Rover dealership for repairs. CARCHEX, one of our top recommended providers for Land Rover owners, allows customers to have repairs done at over 30,000 shops nationwide.
        • No timeframe for purchasing: Land Rover’s extended warranty must be added before your factory warranty expires. But third-party warranties can be added at any time.
        • More plan transparency: Most third-party providers include detailed coverage information and sample contracts on their websites, so you can make a decision about whether a plan works for you before you request a quote. With Land Rover, you’ll have to contact a dealership for any details – and know what questions to ask to make sure you fully understand what you’re buying into.

        Do You Need Land Rover Extended Warranty Coverage?

        Land Rover offers a line of luxury SUVs with bells and whistles like a waterproof wristband key, massage seats and electronic air suspension that automatically adjusts the height of the vehicle.

        But despite high-end perks – and hefty price tags – reliable vehicles they are not. In fact, RepairPal ranks Land Rover at 31st out of 32 car manufacturers when it comes to reliability, and J.D. Power placed the company dead last in its 2020 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study™. 

        Land Rovers are also more costly to repair than the average vehicle. According to RepairPal, the average annual repair cost for Land Rover vehicles is $1,174, which is almost double the industry-wide yearly average of $652. When you factor this into the total cost of ownership, a Land Rover extended warranty could be a great investment to protect you against costly repairs.

        Here are some common repairs and their average costs, according to RepairPal:

        Land Rover ModelRepairAverage Cost
        Range RoverAlternator replacement$704 – $1,214
        Range RoverTiming belt replacement$1,343 – $1,594
        DiscoveryHead gasket replacement$1,181 – $1,548
        DiscoveryAir conditioning recharge$123 – $156
        Defender 90Starter replacement$357 – $790

        It goes to show that if you want to ride in style, you should consider the true cost of a luxury car.

        Land Rover Factory Warranty Coverage

        Wondering what coverage you already have? Under the Land Rover Passport to Service, which is the company’s moniker for its factory warranty, drivers are covered bumper-to-bumper for 4 years or 50,000 miles.

        It’s exclusionary coverage, meaning it covers the vast majority of your vehicle’s parts and components. Unlike many manufacturers that offer a longer powertrain warranty on new vehicles, Land Rover wraps the powertrain into its exclusionary warranty.

        Additionally, Land Rover’s new vehicle coverage includes a 6-year/unlimited-mile corrosion perforation warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile hybrid battery warranty.

        Land Rover Certified Pre-Owned Coverage

        The company’s Land Rover Approved Certified Limited Warranty covers certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles for up to 7 years/100,000 miles, measured from the vehicle’s original in-service date. For example, if you purchased a CPO 2017 Range Rover with 40,000 miles on it, your CPO warranty would cover the vehicle for another 4 years/60,000 miles.

        While this is substantially longer than the original factory warranty, the CPO warranty isn’t quite as comprehensive. It does, however, include roadside assistance for the duration of the term.


        Endurance Land Rover Extended Warranty

        Our top recommendation for a Land Rover extended warranty is Endurance. The company’s Supreme plan with the Highline add-on is a specialized warranty designed for a variety of luxury models. It’s an exclusionary warranty, so it covers all mechanical breakdowns unless specifically noted in the list of exclusions. The Endurance Highline option is available for all Land Rover models including:

        • Range Rover Velar
        • Range Rover Evoque
        • Discovery
        • Defender

        Conclusion: Is the Land Rover Extended Warranty Worth It?

        Considering Land Rover’s low reliability ratings and above-average repair costs, we think adding an extended car warranty is worth it to cover expensive fixes after your factory warranty expires.

        However, with so much conflicting information about the specifics of Land Rover’s extended warranty, you’ll need to contact your local dealership to decide whether the manufacturer’s plan is the right choice for your coverage needs and budget.

        We recommend looking at third-party providers that are more transparent with upfront plan information and that offer a simple online quotes process and many more plan options.


        Recommended Extended Warranty Providers

        In our review of the best third-party extended warranty providers, Endurance, CARCHEX and CarShield came out on top. Endurance doesn’t cover Land Rover vehicles, but CARCHEX and CarShield offer plans for many Land Rover models. We recommend getting a quote from each provider so you can compare cost and coverage.

        FAQ: Land Rover Extended Warranty

        Can I buy an extended warranty for a Range Rover?

        There is an extended warranty available for Land Rover vehicles, but it is administered by a third-party company instead of the automaker.  For details about warranty options, contact the nearest Land Rover retailer.

        Is an extended warranty worth buying?

        An aftermarket car warranty can help offset costly repairs, especially if you don’t have the cash on hand for a sudden visit to the repair shop. That said, there’s no guarantee you’ll use the coverage or that every repair will be handled under the warranty.

        Does Land Rover offer roadside assistance?

        Both new Land Rovers and vehicles covered under the extended warranty have access to roadside assistance. Coverage varies by location, but standard provisions include towing, trip interruption reimbursement and fuel delivery.

        What is the average maintenance cost for a Land Rover discovery?

        According to RepairPal, the average annual cost of upkeep for Land Rovers is $1,174. Common repairs include on the Discovery model include head gasket replacements and air conditioning service.


        Methodology

        The Detroit Bureau collects data from every major car warranty provider to formulate rankings of the best warranty companies. Our in-depth rating system takes into account coverage, pricing, transparency, customer satisfaction and ratings from industry experts. Each provider is given a weighted score in five categories, as well as an overall score out of 10.0.

        We recommend auto warranty companies based on these rankings, but we also encourage you to perform your own research and compare quotes to find the best coverage.
