Guaranteed Asset Protection Advantage

GAP ADVANTAGE KEEPS YOU IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT.

Guaranteed Asset Protection Advantage, or GAP Advantage, is a voluntary, non-insurance program offered as protection on your financed vehicle to enhance, rather than replace, your standard insurance coverage. It waives the difference between your primary insurance company’s settlement and the payoff of your loan balance up to a certain loan to value maximum, less exclusions or limitations that may apply. The loan to value maximum is determined by comparing the total amount, originally financed to the vehicle’s value at the start of the loan. Included in this waiver is your insurance deductible, up to $1,000.1

GAP Advantage also provides you with a $1,000 credit towards the financing of a replacement vehicle financed or leased with our financial institution!2

GAP Advantage is designed for all drives, whether you are financing or leasing a new or used vehicle.  Automobiles, vans, light trucks, motorcycles, boats, travel trailers, motor homes, golf carts, jet skis, and snowmobiles may be eligible.3
