Visit Virginia CU Insurance Services Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) GAP protects you against financial loss in the event your vehicle is damaged beyond repair (“totaled”) or stolen and never recovered. With affordable GAP, you won’t have to pay the difference between insurance proceeds and the balance of your loan. In the first few years of ownership, your loan balance may be higher than the value of your vehicle, especially if you put down a small or no down-payment. If your vehicle is totaled or stolen, your insurance company will typically only pay Actual Cash Value of the vehicle. You will be responsible for payment of the difference between the insurance settlement and the loan balance. For just a few dollars a month, GAP bridges the difference.2 GAP will: Protect you from financial loss Pay benefits up to $50,000 Cover your deductible up to $1,000 Protect your credit rating Give you peace of mind GAP is available for new or used vehicles, motorcycles, RVs or boats and made available to VACU members in two ways: For a one-time fee at the time you finance your vehicle.
