Protect your vehicle from depreciation that's faster than a speeding bullet
Accidents happen
The second you drive your new vehicle off the lot, it drops in value. Up to 20% in the first year!1 If your vehicle is stolen or totaled in an accident, GAP Plus coverage can help fill the gap between what your insurance will pay and what you owe on the loan.
Visualize how this works
If your covered vehicle is totaled or stolen:
Vehicle Purchase Price – $40,000
Loan Balance after 1 Year – $35,000
Insurance Settlement – $30,000
Remaining Balance – $5,000
GAP pays the balance to pay off the loan. Without GAP, you would pay the balance.
Gap Plus is affordable and can be purchased at the time your loan is made or at any time during the life of the loan. The fee can be included in your loan payment or paid in full with cash, check or credit card.
Deductible Assistance is another benefit
Deductible assistance provides financial relief when your vehicle is damaged, but not totaled.
If your auto repairs cost more than your deductible, GAP Plus pays your deductible.2 Really.
Elizabeth G., member since 1986Back in 2011 I financed my new vehicle with ATFCU. I had no understanding of what GAP coverage was or why I would need it. But thank goodness my loan officer, Christie Fraser, explained why it was important so I added it to my loan. Three weeks later I was in a wreck that totaled my car. If I had not had the GAP coverage I would have had to pay a lot out of pocket since I had not made even one car payment at the time.
Close the Gap
Your purchase of GAP protection is optional and will not affect your application for credit.3 It is available for autos, light trucks, boats, motorcycles and RV’s, both new and used. See the chart below for detailed information. Please speak to your loan officer if you have additional questions.

GAP Protection FAQs
GAP coverage is not required. It is optional and will not affect the decision on your loan application.
GAP protection covers total vehicle loss due to collision, fire or unrecoverable theft.
The Insurance Information Institute recommends purchasing GAP if you:
- Make less than a 20% down payment
- Finance for 60 months or longer
- Purchase a vehicle that depreciates faster than average
- Roll over negative equity from an existing vehicle loan into the new loan
