Protect Your Investment with GAP Advantage
It eliminates or reduces the difference between what the insurance covers and the amount you owe on your loan. So, instead of paying off a substantial loan balance before you can even think about shopping for a new vehicle, you could be free and clear.
How it works
You purchase your vehicle for $25,500 and then your vehicle is deemed a total loss by your insurance company. At the time of the loss, your loan balance is $23,000, and the insurance settlement from your insurance company is only $20,000.

Keep in mind
