What is Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)?

If your vehicle is ever declared a total loss due to an accident, theft or natural disaster, your auto insurance company might only pay you the amount equal to their assessed market value of your vehicle. Unfortunately, there may be a significant gap between what your insurer pays and the balance you owe on your vehicle loan. Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) protects you by waiving the difference.

How this plan helps you

Insurance companies can only do so much, that's why GAP Loss Protection was designed to fill in the gap. When accidents occur, insurance companies only pay the actual cash value of your vehicle, so we cover the difference between the actual cash value and the balance.
