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 Does GAP Insurance Help You?

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.

For example, if your car is worth $15,000 but you owe $18,000 on your loan, your insurance company might only pay you $15,000. GAP insurance would cover the remaining $3,000, preventing you from being stuck paying off a loan for a car you no longer have.

Key Advantages of GAP Insurance for Borrowers

GAP insurance is a must-have for borrowers. Here’s why it’s a smart option for those financing a vehicle:

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