Uniondale, N.Y. — Interstate National Dealer Services (INDS) unveiled the newly reenergized Hi-Road vehicle service contract program to a select audience of top producing agents.
The new Hi-Road will adopt successful components of INDS’s StarAuto program and be available for an extensive lineup of vehicles marketed through both franchise as well as independent dealerships. With four levels of coverage (from basic powertrain to exclusionary coverage) and a simple rate card with only five vehicle classifications, “Hi-Road is geared to target a much broader spectrum of vehicles and dealers with broader terms and coverage than traditional service contracts in the industry,” Sansone announced at the special agent forum.
“The new Hi-Road has something for everyone,” Sansone added “with extended eligibility on vehicles with up to 60,000 miles at the time of sale as well as five-year,
125,000-mile terms available or longer terms of seven years. This program will be easily and quickly added to a dealer’s suite of products,” Sansone detailed to the top producers.
Hi-Road also provides used coverage for any year and any mileage vehicle with terms from 3/3 to 60/60 along with offering manufacturer’s warranty wrap programs.
Hi-Road will be marketed immediately through their agent network to franchise and independent dealerships across the United States and Canada.
