Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Insurance covers the remaining balance on your loan if something were to happen to your car. If your car was totaled, for example, and your normal vehicle insurance claimed the car's value at the time of the accident was $30k, but you still had $40k remaining on your loan balance, the GAP Insurance would cover the remaining $10k so that you don't have to pay anything out of pocket.
Like all of our other Add-Ons, GAP Insurance can be added on top of your Max Loan Amount as part of your Monthly Payment, without increasing your interest rate.
