There are a few helpful nuances. Leases qualify for the Gerald Exclusive Lifetime Warranty, and if the lessee buys out the lease at the end of the term, coverage continues for as long as the original lessee owns the vehicle, subject to the agreement. Vehicles titled in a company name may qualify if they are not used for commercial purposes in any way. If a vehicle is used commercially, the warranty will no longer be in effect.
