I had 8 months left of our Lubrico warranty I purchased the car in Aug and it was stolen in December. Should the insurance cover the two car payments as well which I had to continue to pay until they offered us a cheque as settlement?

You should be able to get a pro rated refund of the warranty, so that is not going to be something that the insurance company will pay. You are entitled to the reasonable costs of replacement of the vehicle. This includes sales taxes and title fees, and the cost of replacing your stolen tags, and transferring them!
The sales tax should be based on the value of the stolen car. For example, if you are paid $10,000 for your vehicle and your state charges a 5% tax you should get an additional $500. If you buy a more expensive vehicle, you have to pay the difference in the price, and the additional tax!

The insurance policy you bought is, in effect, a contract.
That contract is between you and the insurer and that's all.
They have NO obligation to do anything other than replace the vehicle at the value it is worth at the time of loss.
If you owe more on the car, YOU are responsible for that.
Also, the insurer is NOT responsible for any other third party transactions you incurred, like the warranty.
As others have pointed out, the warranty is only necessary as long as you have possession of the car...so since you no longer have the car, you can send the warranty company a copy of the police report and you then should ask for a refund of any premiums due from that point on.

Insurance covers the value of the car. If you have gap insurance, it will also cover what you actually owe on the car. As far as the warranty goes, you can cancel it and request a refund. The warranty company will send you that directly. The insurance company is not responsible for the payments you made. The settlement check is all they owe you. Hopefully it's enough to pay off your car note.

Warranties are NOT insured under the auto claims policy. If your company pays actual cash value for your car then in a sense they will pay the two payments -- it will just be in the form of a cash settlement amount for the vehicle itself. As far as title and licence fees you better read your policy -- very probably they are NOT covered in the policy.
Go ahead and fight ---- but I suggest you actually READ your policy first.

I am not sure what a lubrico warranty is but if your payments were monthly and not weekly then you have an issue with the service that you received the insurance company is not responsible for any payments you owe but should have settled your case within a week.Your only option is to go to small claims court.
