Buyer protections
for confident online car buying

Offer warranty coverage, return options, and protection plans earlier in the online shopping experience with Amazon Autos. These built-in protections set clear expectations before customers make a decision, reducing uncertainty and helping them move forward with confidence.
Built-in warranty protection

Online car buyers expect to see warranty coverage before they make a decision. With Amazon Autos, you can show warranty information earlier in the shopping journey. Customers understand what’s included before moving forward. And you create a predictable buying experience with fewer stalls and smoother negotiations.

How warranty coverage works across vehicle types
Your new vehicles include manufacturer warranty coverage, which remains associated with the vehicle.

For used vehicles, you can offer your own qualifying warranty or choose Amazon ExtraProtect, powered by Safe-Guard. Amazon ExtraProtect is offered as a complimentary warranty for used vehicles for the first 90 days on Amazon Autos.

This gives your dealership flexibility in how you offer warranty coverage while creating a more consistent experience across used-vehicle listings.
What the limited warranty includes
When dealers choose Amazon ExtraProtect, powered by Safe-Guard, the limited warranty includes:
  • Minimum 30 days or 1,000 miles of coverage
  • Powertrain coverage, including seals and gaskets
  • Parts and labor included
  • OEM or like-kind-quality replacement parts
  • Roadside assistance and towing
  • No deductible at the selling dealership, and up to $250 otherwise
  • Repairs allowed at any licensed service facility
Warranty clarity on every vehicle detail page
You can show warranty details on each vehicle detail page, so customers can compare coverage upfront. For certified pre-owned vehicles, customers can also request a Buyer’s Guide directly from your dealership on the vehicle page.

Customers get more clarity before purchase, and your team spends less time answering questions.
Amazon Autos online return policy

To partner with Amazon Autos, you must offer a minimum return window of three days or 300 miles from the time of delivery. A clear return policy shows customers you have a consistent, predictable shopping experience they can trust.

Customers can browse, finance, and purchase vehicles online with confidence, and you can reach more committed buyers who are less likely to hesitate during the deal.

A return policy designed for confidence
The return policy gives customers a straightforward option if a vehicle does not meet their expectations after purchase. The added protection is especially important for potential customers browsing your used and certified pre-owned vehicle selection online.

A return policy signals less risk for buying online, so customers can feel confident about their shopping experience.
How returns support online decision-making
With a return option, customers may feel more comfortable taking the next step to purchase a car online. For your dealership, that can make it easier for customers to decide sooner and arrive at pickup with fewer unanswered questions.
