About PTAC
Why ProTect Assurance Corp Was Formed
After decades of experience in the Vehicle Service Contract industry, the founding members of ProTect Assurance Corp realized there was a significant lack of convenience, transparency and concern for the customer. At the time, there were two main methods of obtaining service contracts for car owners: 1) highly expensive contracts, offering limited or confusing coverage when purchasing their vehicle, or 2) cheap, nameless and suspect policies through unreliable companies.
In this highly competitive market, many of these providers offered products that sounded good but were sold with questionable sales tactics and with no guarantee of anything. Customers fell for these extremely low-priced contracts only to realize later that the provider had either closed its doors, leaving the customers with zero coverage or wouldn’t stand behind their promises. For a long period of time, it was either too costly, or too risky for the average vehicle owner to buy a Vehicle Service Contract.
Being consumers ourselves, having experience in the industry and the knowledge of how to provide value, as well as proper insurance backing, the founders initiated ProTect Assurance Corp as a new option for protection and peace-of-mind to car owners. Being an insured company, we removed the risk of leaving you to pay the claims, therefore delivering a safe, honest, and protected option.
Today, ProTect Assurance Corp successfully provides solutions to thousands of customers across the United States. People are given straightforward contract options at reasonable prices. We can do that because we are a Direct to Consumer Company as well as being the entire package for all of your needs. We are the administrator, the payment plan provider and the claims department. Best of all, these contracts are fully insured by an AM BEST rated insurance carrier to ensure that the coverage is there when you need it.
