TORONTO — TD Auto Finance recently rolled out a vehicle
return program in Canada that may offer a bit more peace-of-mind when a customer
steps on a dealer's lot.

In essence, TD Auto Loan Protection lends a financial hand
if a Canadian consumer were to go through a life-changing event such as losing
their job or suffering a physical disability.

The program allows the customer to return their vehicle
within a year of purchase if his or her ability to make a payment is hampered
by one of the covered life-altering events. Those can be considered for
approval include the following:

—Involuntary job loss
—Self-employed personal bankruptcy
—Physical disability
—Loss of driver's license due to an eligible medical condition
—International job transfer or loss of life due to an accident (in most
provinces)

"In the current economic climate, we understand investing in
a new car is a big financial decision," says Andrew Ojamae, TD Auto Finance's
director of sales, auto, RV & LV.

"TD Auto Loan Protection lets Canadians drive away in their
new cars with less worry by knowing they can potentially return their vehicle
should their circumstances change due to a covered life event," Ojamae added.

When a new or used personal auto loan is done via TD Auto
Finance, one year of free coverage will automatically be included.

"Under an approved qualifying event, TD Auto Loan Protection
may provide payment of up to $7,500 of the remaining loan balance, after the
proceeds of the sale of the vehicle are applied to loan balance, less the cost
of repairs," officials explained. "The customer could only be responsible for
paying any balance left after the benefit is applied (and the cost of any
repairs)."
