GAP coverage
GAP is now available with your loan for $299.
What is GAP?
If a vehicle is totaled or stolen, the borrower's primary insurance company settlement can be significantly less than the outstanding loan or lease balance. This may create a deficiency balance or a "gap" resulting in a serious financial hardship for you, the borrower. The "gap" may even jeopardize repayment of the loan. GAP is designed to relieve you of the responsibility for the remainder of the loan or lease balance that your primary insurance carrier does not cover.
What does GAP cover?
GAP covers the difference between your outstanding loan or lease balance and the actual cash value of the vehicle (primary insurance company settlement). GAP also covers up to $1000 of the your deductible if there is a "gap" after the primary insurance settlement is paid. It is covered as part of the deficiency balance and is not paid directly to you.
