GAP Coverage
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Advantage
āGAPā is the deficiency balance between your outstanding loan balance and the actual cash value of the vehicle.
Guaranteed Asset Protection Advantage (also known as āGAPā) was designed to relieve you of the remaining loan balance that your primary insurance carrier doesnāt cover in case your vehicle is stolen or totaled in an accident and canāt be repaired. āGAPā is not insurance but a one time fee that can be added to your loan that costās less than $9 per month. The value of your vehicle rapidly declines once itās driven off the lot; that should give you peace of mind knowing that your investment is covered in case anything would happen.
Features of GAP include:
- Coverage for the term of a loan, up to 72 months.
- Coverage for vehicles valued up to $100,000 at time of purchase.
- Payment of benefits up to $50,000.
- Coverage deductibles up to $1,000.
- Benefits for new or used vehicles, including cars, light trucks, motorcycles and some other motorized vehicles.
- $1,000 down payment credit toward a replacement vehicle. *
- Fully refundable in the first 60 days.
