Dealer-Owned Advantage

Keep More Warranty Profit In-House

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the limited warranty cover?

DealerRE's limited warranty program is designed around mechanical breakdown coverage that auto dealers can customize for their inventory and sales strategy. Coverage terms, components, and duration can be structured to fit dealership goals while being reinsured through a dealer-owned reinsurance company. This program is built for dealers seeking profit retention and claims control, not a retail warranty sold directly by DealerRE to car buyers.
