YOUR AUTO INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER EVERYTHING
In the event your vehicle is deemed a total loss due to an accident
or theft, your auto insurance policy will usually cover only the
actual cash value or market value of your vehicle less a deductible.
This settlement could be significantly less than the amount you
owe to your lender or leasing company. The final result is a financial
GAP where you must make up the difference, which could mean thousands
of dollars out of your pocket.
PROTECTION THROUGH GUARANTEED
AUTO PROTECTION PLUS
Guaranteed Auto Protection
Plus Protects individuals who
finance a new or used vehicle from the financial GAP.
| Guaranteed
Auto Protection Plus is
a loan/lease deficiency waiver and is not offered as insurance
coverage. |
In the current market, during the first
few years that you own your vehicle, your loan/lease balance can
be higher than the actual value of your vehicle, as
a result of depreciation. As your vehicle's value declines, your
loan/lease balance may decline more slowly, resulting in a financial
gap. If your vehicle were stolen or totaled in an accident, you
would be liable to pay the difference between your insurance settlement
and your outstanding loan/lease balance.
| The
purchase of Guaranteed
Auto Protection Plus is
voluntary and cannot be required as a condition of credit
approval. |
Guaranteed Auto Protection Plus
covers the difference
between the actual cash value of your
vehicle and the loan/lease balance,
less delinquent payments, late charges, refundable service warranty
contracts and other insurance-related charges.
Guaranteed Auto Protection Plus will even cover your
auto insurance deductible of $500.
The actual amount depends on your credit union's program limits.
Ask your lender/loan officer for details.
