What You Should Know About GAP Insurance and Why It’s Essential

Why Protecting Your Vehicle is Important

Purchasing a car is a major investment, and protecting it is crucial. GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) insurance offers essential coverage by covering the difference between what you owe on your car loan and what your insurance pays if your car is stolen or totaled.

Understanding How GAP Insurance Protects You

In the event that your car is totaled or stolen, your standard auto insurance policy will cover the current market value of the vehicle. However, cars depreciate quickly, and the insurance payout may not be enough to cover the remaining balance on your loan. This is where GAP insurance steps in to cover the "gap" between the two amounts.

Let’s say your car is worth $15,000, but you still owe $18,000 on your loan. Your insurance will cover $15,000, but GAP insurance will cover the remaining $3,000, sparing you from paying for a car you no longer have.

Benefits for Borrowers

GAP insurance provides valuable protection for borrowers, offering a range of benefits that make it a wise choice for anyone financing a car:

  • Financial Peace of Mind: With GAP insurance, you won’t be financially burdened if something happens to your car.
  • Protection Against Depreciation: Because new cars depreciate fast, GAP insurance ensures you're financially protected in case of an accident or theft.
  • Avoid Unexpected Financial Burdens: With GAP insurance, you won’t face the financial burden of continuing to pay for a car that you no longer own.
  • Affordable and Valuable Protection: GAP insurance is generally inexpensive when added to your car loan, especially when compared to the potential financial risks it protects against.
