Ensuring the Protection of Your Vehicle Investment

When you purchase a car, you want to ensure it’s fully protected, not just against accidents or theft, but also in case something unexpected happens. That's where GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) insurance comes in. It’s an essential add-on that helps cover the difference between what you owe on your vehicle loan and what your insurance will pay if the car is totaled or stolen.

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.

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

  • Peace of Mind: GAP insurance gives you peace of mind knowing that you won’t be left with debt if your car is totaled or stolen.
  • Guarding Against Vehicle Depreciation: New cars lose value quickly, and GAP insurance ensures you're covered in case of a total loss.
  • Avoid Unexpected Financial Burdens: It helps you avoid having to pay off a vehicle loan after the car is no longer in your possession.
  • Affordable and Valuable Protection: In addition to its benefits, GAP insurance is often inexpensive, providing great value for the protection it offers.
