CarvanaCare vs Nissan Extended Warranty

Carvana Care is a vehicle service contract program available to eligible buyers purchasing a vehicle through Carvana. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, they integrate coverage directly into the online vehicle buying process, allowing many customers to include the cost in their financing. They offer three coverage levels, Essential, Plus, and Premier, with benefits that include roadside assistance, rental reimbursement, and additional maintenance and cosmetic protection on higher-tier plans. Claims are administered by SilverRock through a nationwide repair network. Carvana holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, although they are not BBB accredited, and they maintain a strong Trustpilot rating based on thousands of customer reviews. This review examines their coverage options, pricing, contract terms, claims process, customer experience, and support resources to help you better understand whether Carvana Care is the right choice for your vehicle protection needs.

Nissan Security+Plus is a factory-backed vehicle service contract program administered by Nissan Extended Services North America (NESNA), which was established in 2005 and is headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee. The program offers three main coverage levels for eligible Nissan vehicles, ranging from powertrain protection to Gold Preferred coverage for more than 2,300 components, with dedicated options available for certain electric and certified pre-owned vehicles. Security+Plus stands out for repairs through participating Nissan dealerships, where factory-trained technicians use genuine Nissan or Nissan-approved parts. Plans can also include roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement, trip interruption coverage, transferable contracts, and eligible 0% payment plans. NESNA is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and holds an A+ rating, though their BBB customer feedback leans negative, particularly around claims and communication.
