Vehicle Title Insurance

Vehicle Title Insurance - I can't count the number of times I've purchased a car at auction only to discover a problem with the title when I finally receive it (at dealer auctions, bidders can't inspect titles before bidding on a car). Luckily consumers can avoid that problem with Vehicle Title Insurance.

TitleGuard Vehicle Title Insurance - You wouldn't buy a house without title insurance, why take a risk with a used vehicle?  We highly recommend purchasing an affordable vehicle title insurance policy from a company like TitleGuard. TitleGuard is the first and only product that completely insures buyers, sellers and lenders—everyone involved in the sale of a used car—against unreported DMV title defects for up to 100% of the vehicle’s fair market retail value as of the purchase date.

Why do we recommend TitleGuard? - TitleGuard is a product of The First American Corporation, the nation’s leading, diversified provider of business information and related products and services. Tracing its origins back to 1889, First American is perhaps best known as one of the nation's leading title insurance providers. With more than 22,000 employees and nearly $3 billion in assets, The First American Corporation and TitleGuard Vehicle Title Insurance will be there when you need them.

TitleGuard offers a:

• Comprehensive vehicle title insurance policy

• Vehicle history summary

• Title Protection beyond unreported DMV brands

• One-time premium with no deductible

• Free 120-day policy transfer option

• Complete protection for as long as the policyholder owns the car

TitleGuard provides complete protection against all unreported DMV title defects. For vehicles built in or after 1981, each TitleGuard policy insures that:

• There are no unreported DMV brands, title defects, or evidence of odometer rollback on the vehicle

• No other party has a right to the vehicle’s title arising out of fraud, forgery, duress or incapacity

• The vehicle’s title can transfer successfully

What’s more, TitleGuard will provide a legal defense at no cost to you should any third-party title claims arise down the road.

TitleGuard Vehicle History Summary - All TitleGuard policies issued on vehicles built in or after 1981 come with a complete vehicle history summary that identifies all of the registered DMV brands on a given vehicle, items such as:

• Evidence of Odometer Rollback

• Flood Damaged Vehicles

• Salvaged Vehicles

• Junked Vehicles

• Lemon Vehicles

• Stolen Vehicles

• Hail Damaged Vehicles

• And more!

If any DMV brands are missing from the Vehicle History Summary, TitleGuard will reimburse the policyholder for their actual losses up to 100 percent of the vehicle’s fair market retail value as of the purchase date. Depending on the particular policy, information in a Vehicle History Summary may come from more than 150 sources. For example, a given summary may have information from state motor vehicle departments, auto auctions, consumer protection agencies, insurance claims administrators, and other state agencies. All of the information from these sources meets either the federally mandated Drivers Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) or industry guidelines.

Title Protection Beyond Unreported DMV Brands - In addition to unreported DMV Brands, TitleGuard also protects policyholders against the actual losses that result from undisclosed title defects like:

• Title Fraud

• Impersonation

• Incompetency

• Prior Theft

• Forgery

• Duress

• Incapacity

TitleGuard even insures against the actual losses resulting from “hidden” liens and other unreported title issues that can prevent used car buyers from registering their vehicles with the DMV. What’s more, each policy includes a legal defense against any third-party title claims that may arise down the road. There’s nothing else like it!
