Benefit from Member-exclusive GAP pricing.
In the event your vehicle is stolen or totaled, the settlement your auto insurance company would provide may be substantially less than the amount you owe on your loan.
Guaranteed Asset Protection, or GAP, is optional, add-on coverage that helps cover the gap between the amount still owed on the vehicle and its actual cash value.
For example, say your vehicle is totaled in an accident and you are found not at fault. You still owe $10,000 on your loan at the time of the accident, but the actual cash value of your vehicle is only $5,000. After your deductible, GAP Protection would cover the $5,000 difference.†skip to disclosure

Generally yes, car dealerships do offer GAP; however, our prices are substantially lower than what auto dealers typically charge. From what we have observed, on average, dealers typically charge $995.
You only have to purchase GAP once and you’ll be protected for the life of the loan.
No, GAP does not require you to have a deductible.
If your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and not recovered, the insurance settlement based on the actual cash value of your vehicle—not the outstanding loan balance. This could create a loan “gap”—money you owe on the loan after the insurance company pays its portion. Optional GAP may cover the difference between the outstanding loan amount and the actual cash value of the vehicle. Note: GAP cannot be transferred from one vehicle to another. GAP does not replace your required comprehensive and collision auto insurance. Your purchase of GAP is optional and will not affect your application for credit. Eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions apply.
