Used car dealer warranty reinsurance is a structure that allows a dealership to participate in underwriting profits from products such as vehicle service contracts, limited warranties, and certain ancillary F&I offerings. Instead of sending those profits to a third-party provider, the dealer uses a dealer-owned reinsurance company to retain more value, improve financial control, and support long-term business growth.
