Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is a great way to protect your finances if the value of your vehicle is less than the amount of your car loan. A good rule of thumb is to assume your new vehicle will depreciate more than 20% after the first year you own it, half of which occurs the minute you drive it off the lot.1 This leaves a gap between what you owe on your loan and the value of your vehicle if it’s deemed a total loss due to an accident or theft. Our GAP program may reduce or eliminate the gap between what your vehicle insurance will pay and what you owe on your loan.

Protect Yourself When Auto Insurance Can't
The value of any vehicle declines rapidly during the first few years of ownership as a result of depreciation. In the event of an accident or theft, the average new car buyer could still owe thousands after an insurance settlement. You may not realize it, but even the best insurance will likely not cover the full amount of your outstanding loan balance.
- GAP can be purchased for vehicles up to $100,000 in value and affords you $50,000 of coverage for out-of-pocket expenses.
- Up to 90 days after purchase to cancel with full refund.1
- GAP coverage is underwritten by CUMIS Insurance Society, an “A”- rated insurance carrier.
- While GAP protects you against out-of-pocket expenses, New York State law does not permit GAP coverage of the deductible on your primary insurance policy.
- Non-protected advances are also excluded. Your GAP contract will list the full exclusions.
