Insurance is a mechanism for spreading or transferring the risk of loss from one person to another. Vehicles break down. People get sick or injured. Houses burn. People who face these risks can pay a premium to an insurance company, which agrees to pay for certain losses when they occur.
Each individual premium is much less than the customer’s potential loss if he or she does not purchase insurance. This is possible because the losses covered by the insurer are random and occur only to only some customers. The small premiums of many customers thus pay for the large individual losses.
Cariboo Ford offers credit life and disability insurance products through the business office of our dealership. Group creditor insurance, simply stated, is a type of insurance policy purchased by a borrower that pays off or makes payments to an existing debt in the event of a death or disability. All customers that purchase the insurance are not subject to any pre-screened medical tests or other qualifications that a private insurer may require. Coverage is effective immediately if subject to qualification. This credit insurance is retroactive to the first day off work subject only to a qualifying period that has been chosen by the customer.
