Mechanical Breakdown Coverage

Mechanical Breakdown Insurance Buys You Peace of Mind

You've purchased collision insurance to protect your new car in case of an accident and comprehensive insurance to protect against hazards such as fire, theft, or broken glass. But what happens when your air conditioning dies or your automatic windows won't close, just after your car is out of warranty?

GEICO's Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI) is designed to protect you from these bumps along the road. After a $250 deductible on a covered loss, MBI covers repairs to all mechanical parts of the car - except for maintenance and wear and tear*. This coverage helps protect our MBI policyholders from being saddled with unanticipated and expensive repair bills.

Special Protection For New Cars

MBI is specially designed to protect your new or leased car that is less than 15 months old and with less than 15,000 miles. Once you've purchased MBI, you can renew it for up to seven years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first).

Better Than An Extended Warranty

GEICO's MBI provides better protection and is less expensive than the typical dealer extended warranty. MBI coverage:

  • Includes all parts and systems-not just the specific list of items covered by most dealer warranties.
  • Saves you money. You pay only a small premium each policy period-not a large lump-sum payment up front.
  • Lets you get your car repaired wherever you like.

Swap Your Extended Warranty For GEICO's MBI

Already purchased your dealer's extended warranty? Most contracts give you a full refund if you cancel within 30 to 60 days.

It's easy to add MBI coverage to your policy. Do it online or give us a call.
