Collateral protection insurance, also commonly referred to as force-placed insurance, is coverage that may be added to your loan if your required insurance - such as homeowners or auto insurance - has lapsed, been canceled or doesn’t meet the terms of your loan agreement.

Collateral protection insurance, also called force-placed insurance, typically provides limited coverage. It is designed to protect the lender's financial interest in the collateral, such as damage to a vehicle or home. However, it usually does not cover personal belongings, liability, or other protections included in a standard insurance policy. Because of this, it may not meet all of your personal coverage needs.

Collateral protection insurance, also known as force-placed insurance, is often more expensive than a policy you can obtain on your own. Because it is arranged by the lender and typically offers limited coverage, it may result in a higher monthly loan payment or added charges to your loan balance. To avoid these added costs, we recommend maintaining your own insurance and keeping your policy information current.

Yes, even if your vehicle is not being driven, you are still required to maintain insurance if it’s being used as collateral for a loan. Your loan agreement typically requires continuous insurance coverage to protect both your investment and the lender’s interest in the vehicle.

If your insurance lapses, even when the vehicle is parked or not in use, the lender may need to add force-placed insurance to your loan, which can be more expensive and offer limited coverage. If you're storing your vehicle long-term, talk to your insurance provider about options like comprehensive-only coverage, and be sure to keep the lender informed.
