Vehicle Service Contracts – A Different Animal• Service Contracts are single premium, long term policies• These require special treatment on actuarial opinions• Insurance Company typically receives the premium after
payment of expenses• In some cases, not considered insurance• Other times, only a “CLP” premium is remitted• However the legal treatment, establishing the
liability and pricing the book are still issues

Claims Pattern for New Car Vehicle Service Contract
• for example, 7 years/84,000 miles with a 3 year/36,000 mile basic and a 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain
• Initial period of few claims due to manufacturer’s basic (bumper-to-bumper) warranty
• A period of claims during the powertrain only manufacturer’s warranty
• An increase in claims when the manufacturer’s warranty expires
• A slowing of claims as the coverage “miles out”

Earnings Curves
• Earnings curves are predetermined amounts of earnings for system reports
• Earnings curves are not the true earnings since the unearned premium reserve is subject to additional actuarial testing
• Rule-of-thumb curves (pro-rata, reverse rule of 78s) should be avoided in most cases.

Current Actuarial Practice
•The most common method is to triangulate pure premiums at various evaluations
•Pure premiums are then trended to the evaluation date
•Tail factors are usually defaulted to earning curve assumptions.

Issues with Pure Premium Method
•Data may not be available in the tail
•Older data may not be appropriate
•Subdividing data will likely decrease credibility
•Sensitive to outlier data points

An Alternative Approach
• Instead of claims as a function of time, claims as a function of miles driven
• Claims =
Miles Driven * Cost per mile * trend factor

Estimating Miles Driven
• Miles driven during a vehicle service contract can be modeled from observed events
• Claims• Cancellations
• Distributional approach to model the variability in the book
• Segment observations into quintiles by average miles driven per month
• triangulate the data and project to ultimate the average miles driven per year

An Example - Assumptions
• Coverage term – 6 years / 72,000 miles• Manufacturer warranty – 3 years / 36,000 miles
• Basic and powertrain
• Average miles driven per month by quintile• 8,400• 12,000• 14,400• 18,000• 22,800
• 3% of claims during manufacturer warranty
