I'm guessing most people aren't going to be big fans of extended warranties but I definitely am. The very first one I purchased was when we bought a used 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. About 6 months before the warranty expired the transmission started acting up so we took it in. Long story short, we paid a $75 deductible to have $4000 worth of transmission work done. The extended warranty itself was less than $1000 so we came out ahead. Been buying them ever since.

On my Camaro I have an extended warranty. Mine comes with a few extras.

Unlimited road side assistance for the duration of the warranty.
Unlimited PDR with 0$ deductible for the duration of the warranty.
Unlimited Interior repair for the duration of the warranty.
Unlimited Paint repair for the duration of the warranty. Note this isn't accident repair but rather things like paint flaking off, etc.

The rest are answered inline.

How long is it good for? - 5 Years from date of purchase
How many miles? - 75,000
Insurance company that provides it? - It's the standard name I've seen on others, Portfolio Protection.

What does it cover? Along with what's mentioned above, it extends the bumper to bumper from 3/36 to 5/75. It extends the drive train to 5/100. It might be easier to list what it doesn't cover. It doesn't cover lost fluids/refrigerant. It doesn't cover chipped or broken glass due to rocks, accidents, etc. It doesn't cover consumables (tires, brake pads, etc).

Deductible? $100.

Any claims yet? - On this one? No.
