Why Protecting Your Vehicle is Important

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.

How Does GAP Insurance Help You?

Standard auto insurance covers the market value of your car in case it’s totaled or stolen, but due to rapid depreciation, the payout may fall short of covering your loan balance. This is where GAP insurance steps in, covering the difference.

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.

Benefits for Borrowers

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.
  • Protection Against Depreciation: New cars lose value quickly, and GAP insurance ensures you're covered in case of a total loss.
  • Avoid Unexpected Financial Burdens: GAP insurance helps prevent the financial hardship of paying off a loan for a car you no longer have.
  • Affordable and Valuable Protection: Adding GAP insurance to your loan is usually quite affordable, making it a valuable addition compared to the financial risks it safeguards against.
