Get the Details on Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP)
and Loan Payment Protection Insurance

Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP)
Most people believe that if their vehicle is totaled or stolen, their primary insurance will pay off their loan balance. But if your vehicle is totaled or stolen, your insurance carrier usually will pay only the actual cash value (current market value) of your vehicle less your deductible. The amount could be substantially less than your APLFCU loan balance.

The final result is a financial GAP where you must pay the difference between your loan balance and your insurance settlement, which could mean thousands of dollars out of your pocket. That's why many owners have chosen GAP (Guaranteed Auto Protection). GAP eliminates the potential out-of-pocket expense you would incur to pay off your loan should your vehicle be stolen or totaled.

How GAP Works
Guaranteed Auto Protection will cover the difference between your loan payoff and your primary insurance company settlement. Your loan balance will be paid in full. Furthermore, it also will cover your insurance deductible up to $1,000, so you can move on to purchasing another vehicle.
