Short answer: Yes. A Nissan Security+Plus plan can be transferred to a subsequent private owner if you sell your vehicle, and that remaining coverage can make your Nissan more attractive and more valuable to a buyer. The transfer is a simple process and may involve a small fee.

How the transfer works
If you sell your Nissan to a private party while a Security+Plus plan is still active, the remaining coverage can move with the vehicle to the new owner. There is typically a 30 day window to complete the transfer after the sale and a defined process to follow, which may include a modest transfer fee. The exact steps and any fee are spelled out in your plan documents, so review them when you sell.
Why transferability matters for resale
A used Nissan that still carries active Nissan-backed coverage is an easier sell. A private buyer sees protection against expensive repairs already in place, which can:
- Make your listing stand out against comparable vehicles with no remaining coverage.
- Support a stronger asking price, because the buyer is taking on less repair risk.
- Speed up the sale, since the coverage adds confidence for a cautious buyer.
In other words, the plan can keep working for you even at the end of your ownership, by adding value at resale.
A few things to keep in mind
- Transfers only apply to a private-party sale, not to trade-ins handled through a dealer's own inventory process.
- The plan stays tied to the vehicle, so coverage continues based on the original terms, age, and mileage limits.
- Complete the transfer within the time window described in your plan documents so the new owner's coverage is uninterrupted.
If you are buying a used Nissan, it is worth asking the seller whether an active Security+Plus plan is in place and can be transferred to you.
