Financial Protection

GAP Protection

If your vehicle is totaled or stolen, GAP covers the difference between your insurance payout and what you still owe.

Bridge the financial gap

In a total loss, insurance pays the vehicle's market value — which is often far less than your remaining loan or lease balance. Autto GAP Protection bridges that shortfall so you're not paying off a car you can't drive.

What's included

  • Loan & lease shortfall — Pays the difference between the insurance settlement and your outstanding balance.
  • Depreciation safeguard — Protects low-down-payment and long-term (72–84 month) financing buyers from being upside-down.
  • Deductible reimbursement — Often covers your primary insurance deductible as part of the settlement (up to program limits).
  • Clean slate — Walk away debt-free and into your replacement vehicle.
