Repo Insurance (Repossessed Vehicle Insurance)

Insurance

Repo Insurance is specialized insurance coverage that helps protect repossessed vehicles or other recovered collateral while they are in a lender's possession, in transit, in storage, or awaiting resale. Coverage may include physical damage, theft, vandalism, and certain liability risks, subject to the policy's terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions.

Repo Insurance safeguards repossessed collateral from covered losses during recovery, storage, transportation, and remarketing before resale.

Why it matters for financial institutions

Repo Insurance helps financial institutions preserve the value of repossessed collateral, reduce financial losses, and support successful asset recovery. By protecting vehicles during the repossession and resale process, it strengthens risk management, supports portfolio performance, and helps maximize recovery proceeds.
