Ensuring the Protection of Your Vehicle Investment

Purchasing a car is a major investment, and protecting it is crucial. GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) insurance offers essential coverage by covering the difference between what you owe on your car loan and what your insurance pays if your car is stolen or totaled.

Understanding How GAP Insurance Protects You

If your car is stolen or totaled, your regular auto insurance will only cover the current market value, which can be much lower than the amount you owe on your loan. GAP insurance covers this gap, making sure you're not left with outstanding debt.

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.

Benefits for Borrowers

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

  • Added 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.
  • Shielding Yourself from Depreciation: Because new cars depreciate fast, GAP insurance ensures you're financially protected in case of an accident or theft.
  • Prevent Financial Setbacks: With GAP insurance, you won’t face the financial burden of continuing to pay for a car that you no longer own.
  • Affordable and Valuable Protection: GAP insurance is generally inexpensive when added to your car loan, especially when compared to the potential financial risks it protects against.
