Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Advantage
GAP Advantage is a voluntary, non-insurance program that works with your standard car insurance. It protects the "gap" between the vehicle's value and the amount you still owe on your loon if your vehicle is stolen or totaled.

Protect your wallet
Once you drive off the lot, your vehicle is already worth less. Since most insurance companies base their claim payments on the current value of your vehicle. your loan or lose could be higher than the value of your vehicle in the event of a total loss. Which means you could owe out-of-pocket money to pay off your loan.
GAP Advantage's key benefits
Whether you're buying a new or used vehicle, GAP Advantage can help relieve your worries - and the financial impact on your wallet - if the unexpected happens. That's because it waives the difference between your primary insurance company's settlement and the payoff of your loan balance, up to a certain loan to value maximum (LTV) and subject lo limitations and conditions.**
The LTV compares the local amount originally financed to the vehicle's value at the start of the loan. Included in this waiver is your insurance deductible, up to $1,000.^ Plus: GAP Advantage gives you a credit up to $1,000 toward the financing or lease of a replacement vehicle - at the original financial institution and within a certain timeframe.
Please consult with a financing representative at Financial Plus Credit Union regarding application of the LTV limitation to your specific circumstances.
How GAP Advantage could work for you
Example: You're in an accident and your one-year old vehicle is totaled.
- Your loan balance: $15,000
- Your insurance company settlement based on your vehicle's market value at time of loss: $11,000
- Your insurance deductible: $1,000
- Total amount you owe without GAP: $5,000
- Total amount you owe with GAP: $0
Plus: A $1,000 credit toward the financing of your replacement vehicle.^^
