Is there a waiting period for coverage to start?

Yes, typically there is a waiting period for coverage to begin under a Mechanical Protection Plan. This waiting period varies depending on the specific plan purchased, but it is common for it to be around 30 days from the date of purchase. During this time, the coverage is not active and any issues that arise are usually not eligible for coverage. This structure is generally intended to prevent any potential abuse of the plan shortly after purchase. It is advisable to review the terms and conditions associated with the chosen plan to understand the specific details related to the waiting period. For more precise information, it may be beneficial to consult the current Mechanical Protection Plan website, where detailed information about various plans is available.
