How does rust affect car warranties and insurance?

Rust can affect your car's warranty and insurance. Many car warranties cover rust damage for a limited period, usually around 5-10 years, depending on the manufacturer. It is important to read the warranty terms carefully to understand what is covered.

When it comes to insurance, standard car insurance policies do not cover rust damage, as it is considered a result of wear and tear and poor maintenance. However, it may be possible to obtain coverage for rust damage through special insurance policies or add-on covers.
