RV Loan Protection FAQ
Understanding Your Coverage Options.
Deciding to protect your loan is a smart financial move, but it is important to understand exactly how the coverage works. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about our Life, Disability, and Critical Illness plans.
Q: I have insurance through work. Why do I need this?
A: This is the most common question we get. While workplace plans are great, they have two major weaknesses:
-
They aren't portable: If you lose your job, quit, or retire, your workplace coverage usually ends immediately. Our plan belongs to you and protects the loan regardless of your employment status.
-
Income Caps: Workplace disability usually pays only 60% to 70% of your gross income. If you are already taking a 30% pay cut due to illness, can you still afford your RV payment? Our plan takes care of the payment entirely, preserving your reduced income for essentials like food and utilities.
Q: Do I need a medical exam to qualify?
A: In most cases, no. For standard loan amounts, you simply need to answer a few "Good Health" questions on the application. A physical exam by a doctor is rarely required unless the loan amount is exceptionally high or there are specific medical history disclosures.
Q: Can I cover my spouse/co-signer as well?
A: Yes. We offer Joint Coverage. Since you are both responsible for the loan, it makes sense to protect both parties. If something happens to the primary earner, the co-signer shouldn't be left with the debt.
Q: Can I cancel the insurance if I pay off the loan early?
A: Yes. If you pay off your RV loan early (or trade it in), the unearned portion of the insurance premium is refundable. You only pay for the time you actually used the coverage.
Q: Does the premium go up as I get older?
A: No. One of the biggest benefits of creditor insurance is that the premium is fixed at the time of purchase. Even if your health changes or you get older, your cost for this specific coverage will not increase for the term of the loan.
Q: What is "Critical Illness" coverage?
A: Life insurance pays out if you die.
