GAP PLUS is Total Loss Protection…and then some.
The moment you drive your vehicle off of the lot, it depreciates about 20% on average. And you can count on roughly a 15% decline in value each year for the next four years. If your vehicle is stolen or damaged and deemed a total loss, you are responsible to pay the difference between what you owe and what your insurance company says your vehicle is worth.
GAP PLUS can help cover the difference and potentially save you thousands of dollars.
What is the “PLUS”? The “PLUS” is the additional benefit of a $1,000 deduction toward your next vehicle loan at this institution if financed within 90 days of the GAP claim settlement.
Getting protection in the event of a total loss is easy! Most types of vehicles are eligible, and you can generally include GAP PLUS coverage in your vehicle loan payment.
