This question is of sufficiently general interest that I am posting
rather than using e-mail.

The company you saw ads from is most likely SAFEWARE.  Their phone
number is 1-800-848-3469 (in Ohio, 1-614-262-0559).

The policy covers the full cost of repair or replacement from just about
any cause except theft from an unattended vehicle (or, of course, normal
wear and tear).  There is a $50 deductible per claim.

The premium is, of course, proportional to the amount of coverage.  For
$5K of coverage, the annual premium is $69.
