Do You Need Full Coverage on a Used Financed Car?

Buying a used car at Kia Delray is a relatively simple process, as our finance department takes great pride in making sure that all bases are covered for Delray Beach-area drivers when it comes to arranging a loan. However, one question that does come up is, “Do you need full coverage on a used car?” Kia Delray has the answer!

What is Full Coverage?

Full coverage car insurance is when you have insurance that covers not only the other driver’s car but your own as well. Most states require full coverage insurance on your financed vehicle. That’s because purchasing a car is a big investment, and if anything goes wrong, the lender wants protection against losses. However, there is a limit to this requirement: you only need full coverage while the lender still holds the title to your vehicle. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to factors like your loan term when you’re signing the paperwork for your vehicle. Don’t worry, though: Kia Delray will detail everything that you need to know!

How to Finance a Used Car

The first stage of financing a used car in Boca Raton is determining the amount of the loan, the length of the loan period, and the interest rate of the loan. These factors tell you everything you need to know about the agreement, and the value of each will determine the amount of your monthly payment. Once the loan period has been completed and you have made all of the payments, the vehicle becomes yours to own, and the title is transferred over from dealer/lender to the buyer.

How to Apply for Used Car Financing

Once you’ve chosen the perfect pre-owned model that you’d like to make your own, the next step is to contact our finance department and apply for financing. You may then be asked to provide certain important documents such as:

• Valid state-issued driver’s license
• Proof of vehicle insurance
• Financial documentation such as pay stubs, work information, etc.
• Vehicle documentation for your current vehicle if relevant

Once a lender has been found, one of our finance professionals will go over the terms of the loan, fully explaining all of the necessary payments, length of the loan, monthly payments, and any other pertinent details. This is the point in the process when we are most often asked, “Do you need full coverage on a used car?” Remember that full coverage insurance typically lasts for the full term of the loan period and may be required by the lender in special cases.
