State Law Guide · Updated January 2026
Many F&I products allow cancellation for a pro-rata refund, but the contract, product type, timing, claims, and state law all matter.
Virginia Extended Warranty Cancellation Guide
Under Virginia Extended Service Contract Act, Virginia gives you the right to cancel and receive refunds on F&I products. Dealers who fail to comply face Virginia Consumer Protection Act penalties — up to $2,500 per violation (§ 59.1-206); Class 3 misdemeanor for provider violations (§ 59.1-441).
Quick Answer

Your Cancellation Rights
Under Virginia Extended Service Contract Act, some F&I products sold in Virginia may be cancellable or refundable, subject to their contract terms. After this period, you're still entitled to a pro-rata refund based on unused time or mileage.
Your contract may include cancellation rights that are easy to overlook. We identify the products, check the applicable terms and rules, and estimate what may be refundable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel my extended warranty in Virginia?
Yes. Under Virginia's Extended Service Contract Act (Va. Code § 59.1-435 et seq.), service contracts must include disclosure of your refund rights, though the Act itself does not set a specific refund-timing deadline — check your contract's own terms. Violations trigger penalties under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.
What happens if a Virginia dealer denies my claim?
You may file a complaint with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) if a promise made in your contract is denied or not honored. The Extended Service Contract Act does not itself specify a claim-response deadline, so document your communications and their dates.
What penalties do Virginia dealers face?
Violations of the Extended Service Contract Act constitute prohibited practices under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act (§ 59.1-206), which provides for penalties of up to $2,500 per violation. Separately, § 59.1-441 makes certain provider violations a Class 3 misdemeanor.
Where do I file a complaint in Virginia?
Contact the Virginia Attorney General Consumer Protection Section at (800) 552-9963 or the Virginia DACS at (800) 552-9963.
