Walk-Away Protection
WALKAWAY Finance Protection is a unique program that provides consumers with the financial flexibility they need when an unexpected life event occurs. It offers consumers a cost-effective way of structuring their automotive lease or finance contract so they have options in a time of need. WALKAWAY Finance Protection is the original vehicle return program that pioneered a new industry. WALKAWAY Finance Protection™ products help people get out of vehicle loans and leases when they experience one of the life interruptions the program covers.
How does it work?
Step One: You purchase or lease a vehicle from an authorized WALKAWAY dealer.
You get one year of complimentary coverage. Within 30 days of purchasing or leasing your vehicle, you can choose to upgrade and extend your coverage for the full term with more benefits.
Step Two: Something unexpected happens.
You get sick, suffer an injury, become unemployed, or experience another covered life-changing event and can no longer need your vehicle, or can’t keep up with your loan or lease payments.
Step Three: You return your vehicle without penalty.
Depending on your coverage, you can either return your vehicle without penalty or damage to your savings and credit rating, or keep your vehicle while WALKAWAY covers your payments.
