Admin Obligor Reinsurance

Maximize Profitability While Protecting Your Customers

Most dealership groups send F&I profits to third-party warranty and insurance companies. DealerRE's reinsured vehicle protection plans change that equation entirely. By establishing your own admin obligor reinsurance company, you capture the underwriting profits that previously left your business—while providing customers superior protection backed by 'A' rated carriers. Our comprehensive product portfolio covers every F&I need from mechanical breakdown to total loss scenarios, giving your finance teams the tools to maximize every transaction and create lasting customer relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dealer protection plan?

A dealer protection plan is a reinsured F&I product that dealers sell to customers to protect against financial losses from various vehicle-related events. These include mechanical breakdowns (vehicle service contracts), total loss situations (GAP), insurance lapses (VSI/CPI), and specific damages like tire/wheel or windshield issues. When dealers establish their own reinsurance company through DealerRE's admin obligor program, they retain the underwriting profits instead of sending them to third-party providers, while customers receive the same or better protection backed by 'A' rated carriers. This transforms protection plans from expense items into profit centers.
