Protect your loan with Debt Protection

Taking out a loan for a new vehicle can be a financial gamble, because well, life happens. You’re betting that you can pay back your loan and that you won’t lose your job, become disabled, or pass away. If life takes an unexpected turn, you are still liable for your auto loan. Do you have enough in your emergency savings to cover payments until you find another job? Do you have a disability or life insurance policy that would be enough to cover the cost of the loan? To ease some of the financial risks, you may want to consider adding Debt Protection coverage to your loan. This is a voluntary loan-payment protection that helps offer relief from financial burdens in the event of disability, loss of life, or involuntary unemployment. 

The idea is simple; if something happens and you can’t make payments, your Debt Protection coverage may suspend, or forgive your protected payments.
