Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dealer-owned warranty company?

A dealer-owned warranty company, also known as a dealer-owned reinsurance company (DOWC), is a legal entity established by auto dealers to reinsure their own F&I products like vehicle service contracts, GAP coverage, and other protection plans. Instead of purchasing these products from third-party providers and losing the underwriting profits, dealers create their own reinsurance company backed by A-rated carriers. This admin obligor structure allows dealers to retain 100% of the underwriting profits, control the claims experience, and build long-term wealth while still providing customers with comprehensive protection backed by reputable insurance carriers.
