Carvana Double-Billing Trap: Non-Cancellable Insurance After Refinancing
Consumers who refinance away from Carvana-bundled financing and insurance face a billing trap where the insurance product becomes unavailable in their state but cannot be cancelled, resulting in duplicate insurance and loan payments. The opaque process forces customers into paying for two policies simultaneously with no clear resolution path. This exploits the coordination gap between vehicle purchase financing, insurance enrollment, and subsequent refinancing workflows.
