Jakarta, February 18, 2022 – Insurance is an important part of financial planning. It includes when planning to apply for a vehicle loan due to the risk of total loss or damage to the vehicle paid in installments.
Generally, when a customer applies for a vehicle loan, the credit scheme from a finance company is equipped with either comprehensive protection or Total Loss Only protection insurance protection. However, is the insurance sufficient for the customer to provide comprehensive protection against the existing risks?
When the paid-in installments vehicle is lost or completely damaged, the insurance claim process will follow the applicable procedures with the replacement value following the Sum Insured contained in the insurance policy. The replacement value will be given to the financing company first to pay off the customer's remaining debt. If there is still an outstanding, it will be charged to the customer.
When calculated, the replacement value received by the customer can be smaller than imagined, especially if the total loss or damage occurred during the initial period of the vehicle loan. And most likely, this value is not sufficient to be used as a down payment to apply for a motor vehicle loan again.
Tugu Insurance, through its newest product, t-down payment, is here to provide solutions to the risks that may be faced by customers if there is a total loss or damage to the vehicle when taking a motor vehicle loan.
