GAP

 

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)

A car will depreciate up to 20% in value the minute you drive it off the dealer's lot. If you finance a vehicle, you may owe more on it than it's worth. If you are in an accident that is serious enough to total the car or the car is stolen, your insurance company is not going to write you a check for what the car was worth before you took it off the dealer's lot.

If you find out after an incident the vehicle's cash value is lower than the amount you owe, you are still responsible for the difference. This situation is called being upside down on the loan. You owe more on the asset than it is currently worth. GAP coverage is designed to bridge the gap between the outstanding loan balance and the cash value of the vehicle.
