silhouette of man and child near white hyundai tucson suv during golden hourWhen you buy a new or pre-owned vehicle, there’s no way to know if it will be stolen or totaled in an accident. And, many times primary auto insurance settlements don’t pay off your loan balance. With the purchase of GAP, you’re helping to protect your vehicle investment against a possible financial loss.

The GAP fee can be included with your monthly payments or made separately by cash, or check. If your car is stolen or totaled in an accident and there’s a difference between what you owe on your auto loan and the value of your vehicle, GAP will help cancel the difference based on the terms of your member agreement. By adding GAP while signing your loan paperwork, you’re helping take responsibility for your financial future. Your loan officer can show you how. You may cancel GAP at any time after your enrollment date. If you cancel within 90 days, you’ll receive a full refund. If you have questions, simply contact your credit union.

You can sign up for GAP when applying for your vehicle loan and the cost can be rolled into your monthly loan payment. Protect your family, your vehicle, and your credit rating with GAP!

Cost:

Auto GAP Insurance                   $175.00
Motorcycle Gap Insurance:        $200.00

This cost can be paid in full or financed with the loan

Life can be wonderful. But it can also get complicated when unexpected things happen. Protecting your loan payments against the unexpected such as covered life event could help you protect more than your finances. It could help lighten the burden for the people you care about. Insure your loan payments today so you can worry a little less about tomorrow.

There’s no way to predict unexpected life event. You can take steps to protect your family if the unforeseen happens. Credit life insurance may help reduce or pay off your covered loan or make your monthly loan payment, up to the policy maximum, in the event of a covered life event, injury, illness or death.

You decide which payments you want to protect and the monthly premium may be added to your loan. Coverage is designed to fit your lifestyle, it is totally voluntary, and it won’t affect your loan approval. It’s simple to apply for individual or joint coverage. You can sign up for credit insurance at your loan closing, or anytime you’d like.
