Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance Market Overview

GAP is an optional product that covers the difference between the amount consumers owe on auto loans and the amount the insurance company pays if a consumer’s car is stolen. Standard auto insurance only pays an amount up to the value of your vehicle. However, GAP covers the loss customers would suffer if their loan balance is higher than the value of the vehicle. The settlement amount is determined by subtracting depreciation for the vehicle's age, mileage, physical condition, and other factors from the car's original cost, which is the car's actual cash value at the time of the occurrence.
