Westlake Announces New Spot Insurance for Dealers

Business Wire

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Westlake Financial Services announces a new Spot Delivery Insurance program, which is underwritten by Knight Management Insurance Services, LLC, and now available to its dealer partners in California. Westlake’s new Spot Insurance program is designed to provide auto dealers short term insurance on the vehicle they have delivered to their customer during the funding process.

Spot insurance gives auto dealers immediate vehicle coverage, eliminating the concern when a customer’s insurance cannot be verified at the time of purchase. Spot Insurance offers temporary, flexible point of sale policies available for 7- or 14-day coverage that mutually benefits dealerships and their customers, creating a win-win opportunity.

“We are excited to offer an insurance product for dealers that will help get their customers on the road faster with immediate protection during the funding period,” stated Ralph Ontiveros, Vice President of Westlake Services and Lending Solutions.

Every Spot policy comes with five out of the box coverages—bodily injury, property damage, medical payments, comprehensive & collision. Dealers also have the option to purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist. Spot insurance is available in the state of California through DealerCenter.

Dealerships interested in learning more about SPOT insurance, are invited to contact Westlake’s Insurance Department directly at 1.866.619.2524 or online at https://www.westlakefinancial.com.
