USAA offered me 5 years or 75,000 (total) miles for $3000 (no deductible, includes rental and trip interruption).

The Zurich plan, also at 5 years or 75k miles is $4700 (no deductible, includes rental and trip interruption).

I'll scan the sample contracts I received and get them posted.
EDIT: my comments below may only apply to the "wrap" type of plan, I still can't figure out what the intended coverage is for a "comprehensive" plan though

Hey Chief, I looked at the sample contract you posted (thanks for that) and it looks like they measure the 5 years from your vehicles "in-service" date if you were between 12k and 50k miles when you purchased the warranty. Check out page 2 section (1)(a). You should have some kind of "expiration date" on the actual contract though and that will win out over this sample of course. Curious if you got 5 years from the warranty purchase or from "in-service".

I am looking at getting a USAA extension and thought I should have a look over this before purchasing. I am hoping for 5 actual years and it looks like that is the case if you have under 12k miles when you get the warranty.

Thanks for any more info you can provide.
