Gap Insurance
Bridge the gap when vehicles are totaled unexpectedly.
Gap Insurance
Gap Insurance, or Guaranteed Asset Protection, offers peace of mind when dealing with unforeseen auto accidents where vehicles are deemed a total loss. It covers the difference between the remaining loan balance and the actual cash value your comprehensive or collision policy pays out in such events.
- Covers the difference between vehicle value and loan balance.
- Essential for high-interest or long-term loans.
- Avoids out-of-pocket expenses in case of a total loss.
Homeowners insurance is a policy that safeguards your home against damages and liabilities. It provides financial protection for your property, personal belongings, and even liability claims, ensuring you can recover from unexpected events.
Who Needs This
Gap Insurance is essential for drivers who have financed a new or used vehicle, especially when the loan terms include little or no down payment, high-interest rates, or extended loan durations. It is an invaluable safety net for those who might struggle to pay out-of-pocket costs if their financed car is totaled.
- New Car Buyer
- Little to no down payment leads to larger loan amounts.
- Risk of quick depreciation makes covering gaps crucial.
- High-Interest Loan Holder
- Higher monthly payments mean slower equity build-up.
- Potential to owe more than car's value in total loss situations.
- Long-Term Loan User
- Extended loan terms increase the likelihood of negative equity.
- Need protection against slow depreciation rates.
