Our BHPH Dealer Reinsurance Services

Explore core BHPH-focused reinsurance programs that help dealers protect portfolios, retain profits, and improve F&I performance.

DCC Reinsurance

Debt Cancellation Coverage reinsurance helps BHPH dealers cover total debt after a total loss while retaining underwriting profits through a dealer-owned reinsurance structure.

CPI Reinsurance

Collateral Protection Insurance reinsurance protects the creditor’s interest when borrowers fail to maintain required insurance, helping reduce uninsured collateral losses and preserve portfolio value.

VSI Reinsurance

Vendor Single Interest reinsurance protects dealers and lenders against uninsured damage, repossession-related losses, towing, storage, and skip tracing expenses tied to financed vehicles.

GAP Reinsurance

Guaranteed Asset Protection reinsurance allows dealers to retain profits on GAP products while helping address the balance difference after a covered total loss.

Limited Warranties

Reinsured limited warranty programs let dealers keep underwriting profits on mechanical breakdown coverage while improving ownership experience and differentiating their BHPH offering.

Vehicle Service Contracts

Vehicle service contract reinsurance helps dealers capture more F&I income, control claims experience, and build stronger long-term profitability through dealer-owned structures.

Dealer-Owned Advantage

Keep More Profit In-House

BHPH dealer reinsurance gives dealerships a way to participate in underwriting profits from products tied to their portfolio instead of relying solely on outside providers. With DealerRE, dealers can structure programs around products like DCC, CPI, VSI, GAP, and warranty-related offerings while gaining support with setup, administration, compliance, reporting, and training. The result is a more controlled, more profitable F&I strategy built for long-term growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does BHPH work?

BHPH, or Buy Here Pay Here, is a dealership model where the dealer sells the vehicle and finances it directly for the customer. Because the dealer carries the paper, it also carries more portfolio risk tied to defaults, uninsured losses, and vehicle damage. Reinsurance solutions help BHPH dealers manage that risk while retaining underwriting profits from qualifying products tied to the account.
