RoadVantage Launches F&I Industry’s First Bundle Options Program
Austin, Texas - RoadVantage unveiled Vantage Preferred, featuring multiple bundle coverage options in a single form for the first time at Agent Summit 2014 in Las Vegas. The announcement follows RoadVantage’s January announcement of seven-year coverage terms for its complete line of ancillary products, becoming the first ancillary company to extend coverage terms to seven years across the board.
“Vantage Preferred opens some exciting new opportunities for RoadVantage agents,” said Garret Lacour, CEO. “With one single contract instead of multiple contracts, a quicker and easier presentation, and comprehensive coverage for what today’s customer expects to be covered anyway, our latest offering provides unique, tangible benefits to dealerships and their customers, including eliminating claim headaches.”
“Vantage Preferred offers the most comprehensive coverage in the industry,” said Randy Ross, senior vice president of sales. “After extending coverage terms on all our products to seven years in January, this new program is another example of how we continually strive to find new ways to raise the bar for ancillary products.”
