Did you know the moment you drive off the lot, your vehicle begins to depreciate in value? In some cases, the amount you owe on your loan may be higher than your vehicle's current value, especially after years of financing.
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Insurance helps cover the difference between your vehicle's insurance settlement and your remaining balance if a covered total loss occurs, like if you get into a car accident. This added protection can help reduce the unexpected out-of-pocket expenses and provide greater financial peace of mind.
GAP covers the difference between the cash value of your vehicle and the loan value, not including delinquent charges, late charges, refundable service warranties, and other insurance-related charges. GAP covers up to 125% of the value of your vehicle minus other miscellaneous expenses.
Outstanding loan balance after one year:
$15,000
Cash value of vehicle after one year:
$10,000
Insurance settlement:
$10,000
Amount still due to pay off loan:
$5,000
GAP pays difference:
$5,000
You owe:
$0
Without GAP, you'd still owe $5000 to pay off your vehicle loan.
