If your vehicle is stolen or damaged beyond repair, your auto insurance alone may not pay everything you owe. Insurance typically pays the vehicle's actual cash value rather than the amount remaining on your loan or lease, which could leave a financial "gap" of thousands of dollars. In addition, if your down payment was less than 20%, you may owe more than your car is worth.

Example: Your insurance company appraises your vehicle at $10,000 and you owe your lender $15,000; you have a gap payment of $5,000. You owe more than your vehicle is worth.
Benefits:
  • Helps maintain good credit
  • Covers negative equity
  • Insurance deductible up to $1000 may be included if the amount you owe on the vehicle exceeds your settlement payment 
  • GAP is provided for the term of your loan
