How Long is OnStar Free with a New Chevy?

Questions and Support
1

I’m looking into purchasing a new Chevrolet and want to know about the OnStar service that comes with it. I’ve heard that there’s a complimentary period when you buy a new vehicle, but I’m not exactly sure how long that lasts.

Here’s What I’d Like to Know:

  • Duration of Free Service: How long do I get OnStar services for free? Is it 3 months, 6 months, or longer?
  • What’s Included: What features and services are included during this free period? Does it cover things like navigation, emergency services, or remote access?
  • Post-Trial Info: After the complimentary period, what are the subscription options like? Are they reasonably priced?

Additional Thoughts:

I’m mostly interested in the safety features, but I’d love to hear about any cool apps or features you guys have used that take advantage of OnStar.

If anyone has recently purchased a new Chevy or has insights about OnStar, I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences you could share. Thanks a lot!

When you buy a new Chevy, the standard OnStar trial is usually six months for the basic plan. However, some models, especially high-end ones, might offer a longer period.

That’s right! I’ve also seen some promotions that bundle OnStar with additional services for a year. Seems to vary quite a bit!

Yeah, it’s interesting how much it can differ. Some specific models like the Equinox seem to have more promo offers. Has anyone else noticed that?

I think it may depend on the dealership as well. Mine had extra offers for the Trailblazer I purchased.

Supportive promos definitely help! I recommend checking with your local dealer for specific info. They often have the latest details on OnStar offers.

I once got a year of free OnStar just for participating in a survey! Crazy stuff. Try asking your dealer if they run any similar promotions!

Wow, that’s quite a deal! Anyone know if certain Chevy models typically have better offers than others?

From what I’ve seen, the higher trims like the Silverado usually have the best deals. However, I’d love to know if anyone has had different experiences.

Sounds about right! I got six months free with my Malibu. It’s not bad but I kind of wish it was longer.

11

If only it were lifetime free, right? But I guess that’s wishful thinking. It’s great while it lasts though! Makes driving a new car feel special.

I’m curious, what do you all think of OnStar’s value after the free trial? Is it worth subscribing for?

13

For me, it depends on how much I use it. The safety features are great, but the cost can be a bit steep unless you really utilize it.

Totally agree, but you also have to weigh the peace of mind factor. Sometimes, it’s just nice knowing help is a button push away.

OnStar offers a 3-month free trial for new Chevrolet vehicles! During this time, you have access to navigation, emergency services, and even remote start capabilities. It’s a great way to try out their services.

16

That’s good to know! The navigation feature seems really helpful for road trips. Anyone know if the GPS updates regularly during the trial?

Yes, the GPS gets updates during the trial! You can also access emergency services, which is super reassuring. It’s like having an extra safety net while driving.

18

The remote access capability is also a game-changer! You can start your car from your phone. It makes it so convenient, especially in winter. Just saying!

That’s comforting! I didn’t know they had that. How responsive are they if you call for help?

I’ve heard their response time is impressive! They can even pinpoint your location, which is a huge advantage in emergencies. Very reassuring to know.
