What is Comprehensive Insurance?

Comprehensive car insurance ensures your valuable asset is taken care of in case of accidental damage or theft. It also helps pay to replace or repair your vehicle from fire, storm, or hail damage. Regardless of which party is responsible, comprehensive insurance covers the cost of repairs. Minimize your loss from not so great drivers or thieves by using our comprehensive insurance benefit.

 

What is GAP Insurance?

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Insurance is protection against this potential loss: it helps protect you from a shortfall between your finance payout and insured value of your vehicle if it is written off. By paying a once-off premium, GAP Insurance can provide you with peace of mind for the life of your car loan. 

 

What is Consumer Credit Insurance?

Often without warning our financial situation can change dramatically. An illness which goes on longer than expected or perhaps an accident which puts the breadwinner out of action for many months. Consumer Credit Insurance (CCI) can help you if you ever get into difficult times or choose to end your loan term early. Reduce your risk of financial loss by using our payment protection benefit.

 

What is Warranty Insurance?

A typical vehicle owner will still be enjoying their vehicle long after their warranty expires, risking an increase on the overall cost of ownership. Extended auto warranty insurance can help reduce the financial risk of costly repairs for several years beyond your existing warranty. Minimize your exposure for out of pocket expenses with coverage that goes the distance by using our mechanical breakdown benefit.

 

What is Total Assist Benefit?

In the event of loss, insurance excess, personal items in the car, medical expenses or medication, and expenses of public transportation or hired cars while your car is off the road is not covered by comprehensive car insurance. Total assist benefit provides a payment for these unplanned expenses.

 

What is Return to Invoice Shortfall benefit?

Vehicle depreciates as it gets older. Return to invoice shortfall benefit helps bridge the gap between the value paid by the insurer and initial purchase price, helping avoid added unexpected cost to an already difficult time.

A balloon payment allows you to reduce your repayments during the term of the car loan by making a once-off lump sum payment at the end of your loan. For example, if you were to take a $30,000 loan over five years with a 30% balloon, your regular repayments at a comparison rate of 8.10% would drop from $609.73 per month to $467.24 per month with the addition of a $9,000 lump sum payment due with your final payment. 
Balloon payments are available for cars that are up to five years of age. We will contact you within the last six months of your loan term to discuss your payment options. Your payment options could include re-financing the balloon amount in a new car loan. Alternatively, you could pay this balloon payment from your own funds.
