Mississauga, ON - In a period of economic uncertainty KIA Canada made the bold move to launch an all new vehicle return program called the KIA Integrity Advantage. The Program utilizes key components pioneered by the leader in vehicle return products, WALKAWAY Canada Incorporated, and is underwritten by Echelon General Insurance Company, a service leader in the insurance industry.
Maria Soklis, Senior Director of Operations at Kia Canada said, "This program will inevitably strike a strong chord with our customers in these uncertain times and we're excited to have the pioneers of this program supporting our dealers."
The KIA Integrity Advantage Program is offered free of charge, compliments of KIA Canada, to all customers financing or leasing a new KIA vehicle from an authorized KIA dealer. The Program allows customers to return their financed or leased vehicles within the first year of ownership in the event of certain unforeseen life circumstances. The Program will cancel up to $7,500 in vehicle-related debt; specifically the difference owed between the financial institution and the depreciated value of the car. The list of insurable life circumstances includes the following and will vary by province:
<<
- Involuntary Job Loss
- Physical Disability - Unable to Work
- Critical Illness - Living Benefit
- Death due to Critical Illness
- Bankruptcy of Self-Employment
- Loss of Driver's License due to illness or impairment preventing
driving
