Insurance
We know that
insurance can be confusing. What coverages do I need? What do I do in
case of an accident? We have tried to answer a few of the most common
questions here to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I required to
carry full coverage insurance?
Yes. Your contract requires
that you carry full coverage insurance. That means that you must
carry both comprehensive and collision insurance for all parties
listed on the contract.
Do my deductibles
have to be set at a certain amount?
Yes. Your contract
requires that your deductible be $500 or less for both comprehensive
and collision.
Do I have to have
a lienholder listed on my policy?
Yes. In order to fulfill
your insurance requirements, you must list Auto Advantage Finance as
a loss payee on your policy as follows:
Lienholder:
Auto Advantage Finance
PO
Box 96329
Oklahoma City, OK 73143
Do
all parties listed on the contract have to be on my full coverage
insurance?
Yes, all parties on
the contract must be listed as drivers, with no exclusions, for the vehicle that you are purchasing.
What
do I have to do to prove that I have coverage?
It
is the customers responsibility to provide an insurance declaration
page (dec page), not an ID card, to Auto Advantage Finance as soon
as possible after purchase to fulfill your requirements. This can be
done by email or fax.

What will happen
if I do not provide proof of full coverage insurance to Auto
Advantage Finance?
Auto Advantage Finance will purchase
collateral protection to protect their interest in the collateral of
your loan and the cost of that policy will be your responsibility.
Auto Advantage Finance will be the insured on the policy and you
will be billed according to your current payment schedule for that
amount until full coverage insurance, meeting all of the above
standards, is provided to Auto Advantage Finance.
What do I do if I
get into an accident?
If you have had an accident, follow
these steps:
Call 911 if someone
appears to be injured
Notify the police.
Even if you are at fault, calling the police to file a report may
protect you from false claims by the other party. A copy of the
police report will be necessary to finish filing your claim with the
insurance department.
Get the drivers
license and insurance information from the other parties involved.
If possible, take
pictures of your vehicle and theirs before leaving the scene of the
accident, especially if your vehicle is going to be taken away by a
tow truck or impound yard. This could help speed up the claims
process. If you do not have a camera with you, take pictures of you
vehicle as soon as you can.
Get the accident
report number from the police officer at the
scene.
If your vehicle is
being towed, get the name and telephone number of the tow truck, and
find out where they are taking your vehicle.
Obtain a copy of the
accident report from the city using the report number obtained in
the previous step. This will also help speed up the claims process.
Notify Auto
Advantage Finance's Insurance Department at (405) 772-7725. Be prepared to provide the
insurance claim information, the police report, and pictures of the
damage. If they do not answer you MUST leave a message and someone
will call you back. If you do not leave a message they will not know
that you have reached out.
Notify all other insurance
companies involved.
Never
accept an offer to settle from the insurance company without first
discussing your options with Auto Advantage Finance at (405) 772-7725.
Continue to make your payments as scheduled
until the claim as been settled. Auto Advantage Finance does not
allow owner retention on total loss vehicles unless account is paid
in full.
What do I do if I
receive a check for my vehicle repairs from my insurance company and
Auto Advantage Finance is listed on the check?
If your
vehicle was declared a total loss that check needs to be endorsed by
you and turned over to Auto Advantage Finance to be applied towards
your open loan balance. Any overages will be refunded to you.
If
your vehicle was deemed repairable, the check and the repaired
vehicle must be taken to one of our warranty departments for
inspection. Once the repairs have been verified, the check will be
sent to our corporate office for endorsement and then returned to
you.
What if I want to
apply the repair check towards my balance instead of fixing the
vehicle?
As long as the vehicle is repairable, please contact the Insurance Department at (405) 772-7725 for further instructions.
