Protecting Your Vehicle Investment

When buying a car, ensuring its protection is key—not only for accidents or theft but also for any unforeseen events. GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) insurance is a valuable add-on that helps fill the gap between your car loan balance and your insurance payout if the vehicle is stolen or totaled.

How GAP Insurance Works

In the event that your car is totaled or stolen, your standard auto insurance policy will cover the current market value of the vehicle. However, cars depreciate quickly, and the insurance payout may not be enough to cover the remaining balance on your loan. This is where GAP insurance steps in to cover the "gap" between the two amounts.

Let’s say your car is worth $15,000, but you still owe $18,000 on your loan. Your insurance will cover $15,000, but GAP insurance will cover the remaining $3,000, sparing you from paying for a car you no longer have.

Why Borrowers Should Consider GAP Insurance

GAP insurance provides valuable protection for borrowers, offering a range of benefits that make it a wise choice for anyone financing a car:

  • Financial Peace of Mind: With GAP insurance, you won’t be financially burdened if something happens to your car.
  • Protection Against Depreciation: Because new cars depreciate fast, GAP insurance ensures you're financially protected in case of an accident or theft.
  • Prevent Financial Setbacks: GAP insurance helps prevent the financial hardship of paying off a loan for a car you no longer have.
  • Affordable Coverage: In addition to its benefits, GAP insurance is often inexpensive, providing great value for the protection it offers.
