GAP Insurance
Protect your investment with Guaranteed Auto Protection. GAP, or Guaranteed Auto Protection, is a non-insurance product which protects your financial liability when financing a new or used vehicle.
What Does GAP Cover?
GAP covers new and used automobiles and goes into effect when your vehicle is stolen and isn’t recovered or is totaled in an accident and can’t be repaired.
GAP covers the difference between your primary carrier’s insurance settlement and the amount of your loan, less delinquent payments, late charges, refundable service warranty contracts, and other insurance related charges. Included in this difference is your insurance deductible.
GAP also offers Deductible Assistance, which is designed to provide financial relief when your vehicle is damaged, but not deemed a total loss. If auto repairs cost more than your deductible, the deductible amount is applied to your loan, reducing what you owe.
Ask about GAP with your next auto loan application.

What are the benefits of pre‑approval for an auto loan?
Preapproval means a lender has approved you for a specific loan amount and interest rate. This helps you budget by knowing what you can spend. Being preapproved by more than one lender allows you to compare offers and potentially secure a lower rate, and having a preapproval letter gives you negotiating power at dealerships.
Can I refinance my auto loan to lower my rate or monthly payment?
Refinancing your car loan can lower your monthly payment, reduce the interest you pay or shorten the loan term. If your credit has improved since you bought the car or you originally accepted a higher rate at the dealership, refinancing could qualify you for a lower rate. However, extending the loan term can lead to more interest paid over time and lenders may charge fees.
What does GAP insurance cover on an auto loan?
Guaranteed Auto Protection insurance pays the difference between your primary insurance settlement and the amount owed on your auto loan if your vehicle is stolen and not recovered or is totaled and cannot be repaired. It also offers deductible assistance by applying your insurance deductible toward your loan when repairs cost more than the deductible.
