Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)

 Insurance settlements don't always cover your loss in the event your vehicle is   
 stolen, accidentally damaged beyond repair, or declared a total loss. 

You could be responsible for paying the difference between your primary insurance settlement (vehicle's actual cash value) and your loan balance.  This could add up to thousands of dollars out of your pocket. You'll pay on a vehicle you no longer drive, plus you still have to purchase a new vehicle.  Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) protects you from this risk.

How do you know if your vehicle is adequately protected by your primary insurance carrier?

Ask yourself:

• After I drive off the auto dealer's lot, will I owe more on my vehicle than it's worth?  Vehicles can depreciate by thousands of dollars immediately after the purchase.
• Will/did I put less than 20% down on the purchase of my vehicle?

Answering "yes" to either question means your vehicle may not be completely protected.  Guaranteed Asset Protection helps protect you from this potential financial burden by paying the difference between your insurance settlement and your loan balance on items directly related to the purchase of your vehicle.

Features of Guaranteed Asset Protection:

• Covers Insurance Deductible - dealer coverage does not cover deductible which results in additional cost to the owner of the vehicle.
• 90-day Free Look - allows member to enroll in GAP at the time of loan funding while offering a 90-day period for member to receive a refund if they change their mind.
• Open Enrollment Period - GAP can be added to the loan at ANY time.
• 2 Payment Options - the cost of GAP can be financed into the loan balance or the member can pay the cost of GAP outright in the form of cash, check or account withdrawal.
• Loan term may be extended when adding GAP to keep the payment the same as if GAP were not purchased.
