Auto Advantage Program
To better serve our members — and their major purchases — Ripco has partnered with Assurance Plus, a provider of innovative insurance solutions. Our Auto Advantage Program (AAP) helps protect your car loans.
Auto Deductible Reimbursement
AAP pays up to $500.00 per loss* (unlimited losses per year) when a loss is filed and paid by the auto insurance company for a covered auto the member owns or leases, evidenced by the title, registration or loan document, and insured under an auto insurance policy designating the member as the named insured.
Coverage is effective upon the date of enrollment and will continue for two years depending on the benefit period provided.
If the member suffers a loss during the benefit period that is covered by the member’s auto insurance policy, the member may be entitled to reimbursement of the auto insurance policy deductible amount up to $500.00 per loss. To be eligible for reimbursement, the member must own or lease and insure the covered auto under an auto insurance policy designating the member as the named insured.
*Loss is defined as an event for which the auto insurance company has approved and paid a collision or comprehensive claim that exceeds the auto insurance policy deductible for the covered auto.
Exceptions
The auto deductible reimbursement benefit does not apply if:
- The member does not have an in-force auto insurance policy on the member’s covered auto at the time of a loss.
- The claim under the member’s auto insurance policy is not covered or has been denied by the member’s auto insurance company.
- The loss does not exceed the in-force auto insurance policy deductible.
- The member’s auto insurance company has waived the auto insurance policy deductible under the auto insurance policy.
- The loss is for a recreational vehicle (RV), trailer, motor home, all terrain vehicle (ATV), motorcycle, boat, personal water Craft (PWC) or any other vehicle that does not fall under the definition of a covered auto.
- The auto is used for commercial purposes or hire, or the auto is a commercial vehicle as defined by the manufacturer.
- The loss is other than a total loss, and the member does not repair the auto.
