"The coverage is Administered by Administration Plus USA who is easily one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, adding 1.5 million coverage agreements to their purview in the last 6 months," tells David Cunningham, CEO of US Direct Protect.<br />
<br />
"We are very fortunate to have Administration Plus USA to offer to our customers," ends Cunningham<br />

      <title>Extended Warranty Company and Car Service Contract Provider US Direct Protect Announces a Pay As You Go Auto Warranty Program</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-53700.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">With a typical warranty program, any time a consumer purchased a contract with payment terms that are less than the coverage term of the contract they are effectively pre-paying for these contracts.</p><p>Costa Mesa, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/17/2010 --   US Direct Protect, one of the largest sellers of Extended Warranties and Vehicle Service Contracts announced today that in partnership with Gold Key Auto Warranty Group, will now sell a pay as you go Auto Warranty program.<br />
<br />
With a typical warranty program, any time a consumer purchased a contract with payment terms that are less than the coverage term of the contract they are effectively pre-paying for these contracts. For example, if a consumer were to purchase a car warranty at a price of $3,000 that had a coverage period of 60 months yet finance the purchase of the contract for a period of 12 months interest free, the consumer would pay $250 per month for that 12 month period. Yet, the consumer&apos;s actual monthly cost for the coverage is only $50 per month (assuming equal time and mileage of use). And these policies work great if you plan on keeping the vehicle for many years and can afford an extra 250.00 a month. But for many people, this puts protecting their vehicle out of reach.<br />
<br />
David Cunningham Owner and CEO of US Direct Protect states "This is just another example of the bar being raised, For many years we have had customers ask us why we do not provide a pay as you go auto warranty, that they would love coverage, but they just cannot afford it," tells Cunningham. "Well now they can,c he ends.<br />
<br />
"This is revolutionary as far as Vehicle Service Contracts are concerned," says Scott Victor, Vice-president of Marketing at US Direct Protect. "This cuts the customer&apos;s monthly payment down 50-80% and still provides them great coverage. This changes the whole ballgame, and US Direct Protect leads the way."<br />
<br />
At the moment very few Extended Warranty Companies provide this coverage. " US Direct Protect is always on the cutting edge of new products and services related to this Industry , we are very excited that Gold Key came to us to sell this program. We are also setting up a portal on our website so customers can sign up for this program and pay the activation fee all without picking up the phone. Within minutes of entering the website they can purchase protection for their vehicle, and not put any stress on their monthly budget. And more importantly, they too can have the peace of mind Thousands of consumers already experience."<br />

      <title>Extended Car Warranties and Vehicle Service Contract Provider US Direct Protect to Offer ICE's Family Protection Plan</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-52339.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Gold Key Warranty Group and ICE announced a partnership to enroll consumers who purchase Vehicle Service Contracts that are administrated by Gold Key into the ICE Family Protection Plan free for 1 full year back in June.are </p><p>Costa Mesa, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/03/2010 --   US Direct Protect will offer all of its Gold Key Auto Warranty  Group future customers ICE&apos;s Family Protection Plan, a combination of its ICE (In Case of Emergency) and Identification Theft Program, free for one full year. David Cunningham Director of Sales and Marketing comments, "We are always looking for ways to increase the value of our Vehicle Service Contracts. Most of our Administrators have something of value outside the coverage itself to make their policy more attractive. LG Warranty has an Auto Deductible with some of its policies, and NASC offers an extra 50k coverage on their Powertrain Enhanced. So Gold Key is raising the bar is all," ends Cunningham.<br />
<br />
Gold Key Warranty Group and ICE announced a partnership to enroll consumers who purchase Vehicle Service Contracts that are administrated by Gold Key into the ICE Family Protection Plan free for 1 full year back in June. US Direct Protect has been issuing its customers the program since June but made it official Last Friday that they will continue to offer this free program to all their customers that purchase Gold Key Policies.<br />
<br />
"We are very pleased with the response that we are getting by offering the ICE program," adds Cunningham.<br />
<br />
US Direct Protect, a CA based Corporation sells Vehicle Service Contracts and Extended Car Warranties from 6 different Administrators. They are a member of the BBB and VPA (Vehicle Protection Association).<br />
