GAP Plus – What you should know before driving your new vehicle off the sales lot.
- Protection – Driving a new vehicle without GAP Plus (guaranteed auto protection) is like taking a leap of faith. Your automobile insurance will cover damages in the event of an accident, but if your vehicle is declared a total loss or is stolen and not recovered, there’s often no safety net to protect you from financial hardship.
- Depreciation – Within the first two to three years of ownership, your new vehicle will depreciate in value faster than the loan balance. A significant GAP Plus can exist between the amount of money your insurance company will pay and the amount you still owe on your automobile loan balance. Guaranteed Auto Protection coverage helps bridge the GAP.
