Gap insurance (guaranteed asset protection) covers the difference between what you owe on your car loan and what your car is worth if it's totaled or stolen. Without it, you could owe money even if the car is gone.

Gap insurance is optional but often recommended, especially if you're financing most of the purchase or if you plan to own the car through most of the loan term. It's usually affordable when added at the time of purchase.

Our finance team can explain gap insurance in detail and show you the cost so you can decide if it's right for you.
