Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Advantage
Closing the gap in protecting your current and future vehicle investment
GAP Advantage
Protect Your Wallet
TRUE OR FALSE?
- In most circumstances, a vehicle is worth a lot less the second it is driven off the lot.
- In more cases than not, the value of a vehicle rapidly declines during the first few years of ownership.
Unfortunately, both of these statements are True, which could lead to bad news for you and your wallet.
Since most insurance companies base their claim payments on the present value of your vehicle, your loan or lease balance could be higher than the value of your vehicle at the time your vehicle is stolen or totaled, which means you could be left owing a lot of money out of pocket to pay off the balance of your loan.
What is GAP Advantage?
Keeps You in the Driver’s Seat
Guaranteed Asset Protection, or GAP Advantage, is a voluntary, non-insurance program offered as protection on your financed vehicle. It enhances, rather than replaces, your standard insurance coverage. GAP waives the difference between your primary insurance company’s settlement and the payoff of your loan balance* in the event your vehicle is totaled or stolen and not recovered.
- Includes your insurance deductible, up to $1,000.¹
- Provides $1,000 credit towards the financing of a replacement vehicle financed or leased with Sierra Pacific FCU!²
Who Does GAP Advantage Protect?
GAP Advantage is designed for all drivers, whether you are financing or leasing a new or used vehicle. All of these vehicles may be eligible³:
