Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) protects you when you owe more money on your vehicle loan than the vehicle is worth.
If your vehicle is ever stolen or is in a major accident resulting in a total loss, your loan balance will likely be higher than your vehicle’s value. However, most insurance policies will only issue payoffs for estimated value of the vehicle.
That is where GAP can help. GAP covers the "gap" between the vehicle's value and the amount you still owe. It will pay the difference between your primary carrier's insurance settlement and the amount of your loan, less delinquent payments, refundable service warranty contracts and other insurance related charges. Your insurance deductible, which is limited to $1,000,* would also be included in the difference.
Here's an example of how GAP can help you:
Original purchase price of vehicle:
|
$25,000
|
Loan balance at the time of your claim:
|
$21,000
|
Insurance company's estimate vehicle's value:
|
$16,000
|
Money owed after insurance payout:
|
$5,000
|
Total GAP Benefit:
|
$5,000
|
GAP is also offered on boats, RVs, and motorcycles (up to $100,000) and and is provided at a price lower than most dealers. For more information, please call our Loan Department at (800) 226-6673 or visit your PEFCU local branch.
In these difficult economic times, Credit Union Members are making decisions to keep vehicles longer or buy used vehicles rather than new, with increasing frequency. Under these circumstances, the ability to provide quality, affordable Mechanical Breakdown Protection on those vehicles, represents a significant value to members.
The Route 66 Warranty Program addresses these needs in three significant ways:
- The program offers the opportunity to add coverage to a member’s vehicle at any time. This feature allows members to add coverage to existing vehicles that they have decided to keep rather than trade!
- Coverage is offered on any vehicle, with exception of exotic cars, regardless of age or mileage. Contact our Loan Department today for a quote.
- The claims process is handled directly with the underwriters. Vehicle repairs are paid directly to the repair facility, no claim forms for you/the member to fill out.
