Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is optional coverage1 for your vehicle loan that safeguards you from negative equity in the event of a total loss. GAP covers the difference between your outstanding loan balance and the vehicle's actual cash value, ensuring you don't owe more than your insurance settlement.

GAP is a voluntary, non-insurance product designed to waive the remaining loan balance not covered by the borrower's primary insurance carrier settlement in the event of a total loss or unrecovered theft.2

The actual cash value of your vehicle as determined by your primary insurance carrier could be less than the actual balance you owe on your loan. In the event of a total loss or theft, GAP waives the difference between your outstanding loan balance and the actual cash value (ACV) of the vehicle up to 125% of the loan-to-value (LTV). GAP may also cover up to $1,000 of your deductible if there is a "gap" after the primary insurance settlement is paid. The deductible is covered as part of the deficiency balance settlement. This product is not available in NY or AK.

GAP Coverage Example
ItemAmount
Your Vehicle Loan Balance$15,000
Your Insurance Company Settlement$10,000
Remaining Balance Without GAP$5,000
Total You Owe Without GAP$5,000
Total You Owe With GAP$0

GAP also covers up to $1,000 of your deductible if there is a gap after the primary insurance settlement.

Our GAP program includes Auto Advantage!
When you purchase GAP from Guardians CU, the primary borrower and co-borrower also receives Auto Advantage, which includes Auto Deductible Reimbursement (ADR) at no additional cost.

The covered borrower(s) may be reimbursed their deductible for any loss covered by the borrower's auto insurance policy for all their non-commercial passenger cars, trucks, or vans.

ADR Benefit Requirements are Simple

  • All vehicles are covered that are owned (title, registration, or loan documents) and insured by the primary borrower and co-borrower.
  • Only four-wheel, non-commercial passenger vehicles (cars, trucks, vans) are covered. ADR does not cover motorcycles, boats, and RVs.
  • A claim can be filed if the paid claim exceeds the borrower's deductible and has been approved and paid by the borrower's primary auto insurance. This includes comprehensive and collision claims and requires repairs to be made.
