Recover more on every damaged loaner.
Most dealers write off loaner damage because tracking it is too hard. ClaimsPointe makes capture, claim, and recovery the path of least resistance.
Why does un-recovered loaner damage cost dealers so much?
A loaner fleet of 10 vehicles averaging two incidents per month at $800 per repair leaves roughly $19,000 a year on the table at a 20% recovery rate. Across a 10-rooftop group, that number crosses six figures.
The reason is not that dealers don’t want to recover — it’s that the current process is a phone call, a DMS note, and eventually a write-off. There is no structured claim, no handler, no deadline, and no pipeline. So nothing gets recovered.
According to NADA data, the average new-car dealership operates a courtesy fleet and handles dozens of service-related damage incidents each year. Most are written off, not recovered.

The typical loaner damage workflow: customer returns with damage, a manager calls the customer, a note goes into the DMS, and the matter stalls. No handler owns it. No deadline exists. No one is tracking recovery.
Weeks later the write-off happens because following up takes more time than the loss seems worth. Multiply that by every incident across every rooftop.
Capture. Claim. Recover.
- Damage documented at check-in and return — photos, VIN, mileage, condition notes
- Claim filed immediately with a control number and handler assigned
- Recovery pursued through body shop, insurance, or direct demand
- Full audit trail — every contact, every status change, every dollar recovered
- Multi-rooftop view of every open loaner claim across the group
How does ClaimsPointe track loaner damage from check-in to recovery?
Damage is documented at vehicle return, a claim is filed with a handler assigned, and recovery is tracked through insurance or direct demand until closed.
Capture
Document damage at vehicle return with photos, VIN, and mileage. The record is created immediately — no paper, no DMS re-entry.
Claim
A claim is filed, a handler is assigned, and the recovery path is selected: insurance, direct demand, or body shop routing.
Recover
Handler pursues recovery through the structured pipeline. Every contact and dollar is logged. Close when resolved — open if disputed.
