Guaranteed Asset Protection fills the financial gap.
Affordable coverage for your vehicle.
Why is GAP a good idea? Because most insurance policies only cover the value of your vehicle, not your loan or lease amount. And your vehicle's value can rapidly decline during the first few years you drive it. GAP coverage kicks in to make up the difference between your insurance payout and what you owe on your loan or lease.
Here's how GAP insurance can protect you if your vehicle is stolen and never recovered, or totaled in an accident:
- Your PFCU auto loan balance after one year = $15,000
- The value of your vehicle after one year = $10,000
- Insurance settlement = $10,000
- You're short $5,000
- GAP pays $5,000
- You owe $0
TOOLS TO GET YOU AHEAD
By the time July arrives, summer spending is usually in full swing. Weekend trips, seasonal sales, outdoor activities, and spontaneous plans can make purchases feel easy to justify. Enjoying the season is important, but it's also a good time to consider how your spending choices fit into your overall financial picture.
Not every purchase serves the same purpose. Some expenses support your goals or improve daily life, while others simply feel exciting in the moment. Understanding the difference between a splurge and a thoughtful purchase can help you enjoy the season without second-guessing your financial decisions. With a little awareness and planning, you can make decisions that balance enjoyment today with stability for the future.
