  • The Advantage Care EXP program has an expiration mileage limit, not add-on miles. For example, if you buy a Plan with a 100,000 mile limit and your purchased vehicle’s odometer has a reading of 25,000, your coverage is only for 75,000 miles or the coverage term limit, whichever occurs first.
  • The Advantage Care program has an add-on mileage feature. For example, if you buy a Plan covering 100,000 miles and your purchase vehicle’s odometer has a reading of 25,000, your coverage is for 125,000 miles or the coverage term limit, whichever occurs first.
