Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)
GAP
Don't let a wrecked vehicle wreck your finances. Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is a great way to protect your finances if the value of your vehicle is less than the amount of your car loan. If your vehicle is deemed a total loss due to an accident or theft, your insurance will only pay what your vehicle was worth at the time of loss. Without GAP, this could leave you paying the rest of your loan out of pocket.
- 90 Day Refund Period
- Reduced or Eliminated Loan Payoff
