Automotive GAP Program Overview

If the vehicle you financed is stolen or declared a total loss, your insurance company will cover only its replacement value. Unfortunately, there could be a big difference between what your insurance company will pay and what you still owe on your loan. You will be responsible for this "gap" between your insurer's settlement and the amount you still owe your bank. Once driven from the lot, your new or used vehicle may lose up to 20% of its value. If your down payment is less than 20%, then you need gap insurance to protect your assets.

How Does GAP Insurance Work?

A gap insurance policy will eliminate you from paying the difference due the lending institution when such a loss occurs. Here is an example of how gap insurance works:

Vehicle purchased for $25,000
No down payment
$25,000 MSRP $25,000
Vehicle is declared a total loss 12 months later
Loan balance is $22,000
$22,000
Auto Insurance Settlement $17,000
Net amount you owe bank after insurance payment $5,000
Gap insurance pays (less deductible) $5,000 Maximum Gap payment $50,000

As most vehicles show the greatest depreciation during the first few years, your "gap" may be greater than the illustration.

For automobiles 1981 and older, please call us at (800) 347-0303 Ext. 1 for eligibility.
