#DidYouKnow? GAP Insurance

What is GAP Insurance?

GAP insurance, or Guaranteed Asset Protection insurance, plays a crucial role in shielding you from potential financial setbacks. It covers the difference between the actual cash value of your vehicle and the outstanding loan balance in the event of theft or severe damage beyond repair.

How Does It Work?

Let’s say you finance a vehicle for $20,000, and an unfortunate accident occurs six months later. Your auto insurance may leave you with a significant amount to pay. With GAP Insurance, the coverage bridges the gap between the insurance settlement and the remaining loan balance.

A Real-Life Success Story

An Achieve CU member recently took advantage of the GAP Insurance option. The member had financed a vehicle for just over $13,000 and the member's insurance payout of $9,200 following an accident left a considerable gap. GAP Insurance covered over $2,500 of the outstanding balance, significantly reducing their financial burden. Additionally, the member received deductible reimbursement and an extra $1,000 due to timely financing within the credit union.
