The Smart Choice To Help Reduce Out-Of-Pocket Expenses

Programs
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) WaiverMay help reduce out-of-pocket expenses in cases of vehicle theft or total loss
Are you covered if your vehicle is declared a loss?
- 6 million traffic crashes happen every year in the U.S. on average*
- 700,000 motor vehicles are stolen every year in the U.S. on average*
Help close the “gap” on your vehicle loan

- When a vehicle is declared a total loss due to theft or accident, the primary auto insurance will typically cover the actual cash value of the vehicle at the time of loss. This amount can be less than the outstanding balance on the loan.
- The difference between the amount covered by the insurer and the remaining balance on the loan is often referred to as the “gap.” You would be responsible for paying this amount to the lender.
- A GAP waiver can help limit this financial obligation by waiving some or all of what is owed, excluding certain items such as unpaid past-due payments and late fees. It can even waive your insurance deductible up to $1,000.
Illustrative example for a $20,000 loan
Reduce Or Eliminate Your Out-Of-Pocket Expenses With GAP
Your out-of-pocket savings could be substantial:
Let's say your loan balance is: | $20,000 |
Your insurance company says the actual cash value of your lost vehicle is: | -$14,000 |
Leaving you with a "gap" of: | $6,000 |
Primary insurance deductible is: | + $500 |
Total out-of-pocket expense: | $6,500 |
GAP waiver can reduce this amount to as little as: | $0 |
For illustrative purposes only. Your individual situation will vary depending on the details of your financing, vehicle specifics and driving history. Some of your loan may remain even after the waiver is applied, due to missed payments, amounts previously due, late fees and other adjustments, including any loan amount that exceeds 150% of the (“NADA”) Official Used Car Guide retail value of your vehicle.
