Benefits in This Chapter
……………………………………………………………………………………………
*Discounts when purchasing a new or used car
*Discounts when renting a car
*Towing/Service Calls
*Service/Repairs discount
*Car Wash
*Auto Insurance
*AAA
*Motorcycles and RVs
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Automobile benefits are available for members for everything from buying a new car to
getting your car washed or serviced. These benefits and others are outlined below.
1. Purchasing a New or Used Car
*Union Plus Auto Buying Discount
Includes purchases of new and used cars, RVs, boats, motorcycles, commercial, and
agricultural vehicles.
Through the program, Alliance members will receive pre-negotiated, best-market pricing
on new or used vehicles (cars, trucks, commercial, agricultural, RVs, boats, motorcycles,
etc.) without having to negotiate with the dealer. A personal Vehicle Advisor will assist
members throughout the entire buying or leasing process, from selection to final delivery.
Program Features
Pre-negotiated fleet pricing on most new vehicles purchased or leased through the
program, typically 2 to 3 percent over dealer invoice.
Used vehicle pricing at 4 percent over the cost of the vehicle at auction plus dealer
preparation.
Assistance from the program’s Vehicle Advisors throughout the process.
2
How the Program Works
Before visiting a dealer, please contact Vehicle Advantage at:
www.vehicleadvantage.com or call 866-824-1133. When requested please refer to Group
ID number RU-502.
The program helps members save by using pre-negotiated fleet pricing for new and used
vehicles at dealers across the country. Once the member submits a vehicle order form,
the Vehicle Advisor assists the member in selecting a new or used vehicle and options.
The Vehicle Advisor will then locate the vehicle at a dealer in the member’s area and
negotiate a price based on fleet pricing for new vehicles and at near auction cost for used
vehicles. The dealer signs a contract agreeing to the price and the Vehicle Advisor
reports the pre-negotiated price to the member. Once the details are acceptable to the
member, the Vehicle Advisor sets up a mutually agreeable delivery appointment between
the member and the dealer. The member goes to the dealership and inspects and test
drives the vehicle and the transaction and delivery is completed.
If the member decides not to purchase that vehicle, they may start the process again with
the Vehicle Advisor.
While the program can provide an excellent value for a vast majority of members, it may
not appear to provide the lowest price for those members who want to take the time to
haggle from dealer to dealer. Also, some vehicles may be in such demand that they
require premium pricing. However, even for buyers who make car buying a sport, the
program can provide an excellent price point from which to start.

3. MyMedicalRecords.com
MyMedicalRecords.com provides secure, convenient on-line storage for medical records,
personal health records and other vital documents that need to be protected so that they
are not lost in the event of a disaster.
Users get a personal “Lifeline” number that they (or their medical providers) can use to
fax information into the account. Information also can be uploaded from a desktop.
Users then can file information in a personal filing cabinet so it’s easy to retrieve. In
addition, users get a suite of personal health management tools such as the ability to enter
their medical history as well as keep a list of prescriptions. Even more important, users
can create a special emergency password that gives medical personnel access to their
information in the event of a crisis in which the user can not communicate.
BENEFITS
Easy to use – users can easily fax records into their account using their Lifeline
telephone number.
Users can file and store lab results, patient charts, progress notes, x-rays, scans,
ultrasounds and other health records.
40
Users can file and store copies of Living Trust, Wills, DNR instructions – even
pictures of personal property, children and pets.
Information can be accessed from any computer 24/7 – so in the event of a home
disaster or if user is traveling, critical information can be accessed.
Ability to store complete personal health information reduces the potential for
duplicate and expensive medical tests, life-threatening drug interactions and other
possible treatment mistakes.
Users can select what information they want medical personnel to see in the event
of a medical emergency.
Each account holds information for up to six family members.

Insurance Deals/Benefits
………………………………………………………………………………………………
*Accident Insurance
*Auto Insurance
*Pet Insurance
*Supplemental Insurance
………………………………………………………………………………………………
1. Accident Insurance
Your union membership entitles you to enroll for no-cost coverage for accidental death
and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance:
$5,000 of coverage against accidental death from covered motor vehicle/pedestrian
accidents, or
$1,000 of coverage for death due to any other type of accident at home, at work and
while commuting or traveling anywhere in the world.
Please Note!
This benefit is not automatic. Learn more and enroll online at www.unionsecure.com or
call 1-800-393-0864.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Members can also choose to purchase additional accidental death and dismemberment coverage from
$50,000 to $150,000 at group rates.
If an accidental death* occurs due to injury sustained while riding as a passenger on any common carrier such as an airplane, train, bus or taxi – your beneficiary would receive triple the amount of your base
coverage. For example, if you purchase $150,000 of expanded coverage, your beneficiary would receive
$450,000.
48
If an accidental death results from a motor vehicle accident or as a pedestrian, your beneficiary would
receive double the amount of your base coverage.* For example, if you purchase $100,000 of expanded
coverage, your beneficiary would receive $200,000.
Benefits are paid for loss of limbs, speech, hearing or sight.
Coverage provided for the member alone or entire family 24-hours-a-day, everywhere.
Pays in addition to any other insurance you may have.
No termination age; however, benefit amounts reduce by half at age 70.
*Only one benefit, whichever is the greater, will be paid for any one accident. Death must occur within 365
days of injury.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

policy is in force. Guaranteed acceptance & lifetime enrollment.
4. UnionSecure Supplemental Insurance
Members can enroll/purchase these supplemental insurance programs designed especially
for union members and their families. The programs are underwritten by the The
Hartford, a leading life insurance company in the United States.
Union Secure offers two types of life insurance:
-Term Life
Provides the highest benefit at the lowest cost. You pay a premium for coverage over a specific period of
time (a term) of one, five or ten years - or to a specific age, such as 70. At the end of your term, your
policy ends. Death benefits are paid only if you die within that term of years.
TIP! Because the premiums for term insurance can be low, but the payout is typically high, young and
middle-aged people benefit greatly from term life's economical coverage.
50
-Whole Life
Whole life insurance provides lifelong coverage – to age 95, 100 and even beyond.
The most common type is called "ordinary life" insurance.
*Pay the same premiums for as long as you live. For this reason, premiums are typically higher than term
life premiums for the same amount of coverage. But your premium rates remain the same for the duration
of your policy.
*Whole life insurance also builds cash value – a savings account within the policy increases over time on a
tax-deferred basis.
TIP! A policy with cash values may also be used as collateral for a loan. If you borrow from your life
insurance policy, the rate of interest is shown in your policy. Any money which you owe on a policy loan
would be deducted from the benefits if you were to die, or from the cash value if you were to stop paying
premiums.
*Union Secure also offers hospital & home recovery insurance
Hospital and at-home recovery insurance provides cash for the time you’re in the hospital and recovering at
home. It not only helps you cope with the extra, unexpected expenses that accompany a hospital stay—such
as health insurance deductibles – but also the expenses you face during at-home recovery, when the
additional costs can really begin to add up for emergency child care, meals and more.
For more information on UnionSecure supplemental Insurance or to enroll visit
www.unionsecure.com or call 1-800-393-0864 (M-F, 8 am to 7 pm, ET).

*Consolidating student loans
A federal student consolidation loan is a practical, student debt management tool that
enables you to bundle all of the federal loans you received to finance your college
education into a single student consolidation loan.
When your federal consolidation loan is issued, your lender pays off the outstanding
balances of all the loans you put in the consolidation. In essence, you refinance your
education debts.
The Union Plus Education Loans - provided through American Education Services (AES)
are consolidation loans that carry a unique strike assistance benefit. If you have a Union
Plus Education Loan and have been on strike for 30 days or longer, payments can be
made for you up to 60 days if your account is eligible and in good standing. For more
information, call 1-877-881-1022.
61
Simplify & Save
In addition to simplifying record-keeping and check-writing chores, student loan
consolidation can significantly reduce your monthly payment burden - by up to 40 % or
more!
That's because student loan consolidation allows you to stretch your repayment period
from the standard 10 years to up to 30 years, depending on the amount of your education
debts. The lower payment means you'll have more money available to meet other
household expenses, including car payments, childcare, and career-related necessities.
Apply online by creating an online account at:
http://www.unionplus.org/benefits/education/financing/consolidation.cfm
*Please choose 828924UN as your lender code on your application to ensure you are
eligible for the strike benefit.
Or Call 1-800-338-5000 to apply over the phone.

*Rental Car/RV Discounts
Union members enjoy up to 25% in savings via rental car discounts from Budget and
Avis. Avis and Budget rental car savings vary depending on the type of car or vehicle,
time of year, location and length of car rental.
Contact Avis and Budget to get rate quotes on rental cars, make rental car reservations,
and take advantage of your Union Plus discount car rental benefit.

TIP! Instant Savings Calling or ordering your rental cars online in advance also
means you pay less than at the counter -- and you can upgrade to a better car for only a
couple bucks. When you order online, you can also print out your rental car reservation
confirmation for your records and to reference when you pick up your car from the Avis
or Budget Car Rental location.
