Select Auto Protect vs Uproar.car

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, Select Auto Protect is a direct provider of vehicle service contracts specializing in high-mileage and older vehicle coverage. Unlike many extended warranty companies that impose strict eligibility limits, they accept vehicles of any age and mileage, provided the car is in good working condition at the time of purchase. A major differentiator is their unlimited claims policy, with no stated annual or lifetime cap on approved repairs. The company structures its coverage into three stated-component tiers: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. While the Platinum plan is their most comprehensive offering, Select Auto Protect does not provide an exclusionary bumper-to-bumper contract. Plans include benefits such as 24/7 roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement, trip interruption coverage, and direct payment to ASE-certified repair shops nationwide. Pricing is generally positioned on the more affordable side of the market, with many plans reportedly falling between $1,000 and $3,000. Customer feedback is mixed. Many customers praise the company’s sales experience, affordability, and willingness to cover vehicles rejected elsewhere, while others report inconsistencies in claims processing, communication, and cancellation experiences.

On January 24, 2022, Olive.com completed the acquisition of Uproar.car, a Seattle-based fully digital startup specializing in extended auto warranties. This strategic move is set to enhance Olive.com's digital proficiency and broaden its customer base. Through this acquisition, Olive.com aims to strengthen its position in the expanding market for extended auto warranties.
