Companion GAP Coverage
Bridge the Gap Between Your Insurance and Loan Balance
When your car is stolen or declared a total loss, your insurance typically pays only the actual cash value of the vehicle — which often doesn’t cover the full amount you owe on your loan or lease. This gap can leave you responsible for thousands out of pocket
Companion GAP Coverage protects you from this unexpected financial burden by paying the difference between your insurance payout and your remaining loan or lease balance.
How Gap Coverage Works
- Your insurer pays the vehicle’s current market value after a total loss.
- If your loan or lease balance is higher, GAP coverage covers the leftover amount.
- You avoid having to pay any remaining balance out of pocket.
Benefits of Companion GAP Coverage
- Financial security: Protects your finances from large unexpected bills.
- Peace of mind: Drive knowing you won’t owe more than your car is worth.
- Easy and automatic: Coverage attaches directly to your financing agreement.
- Coverage term: Active but for the full length of your loan or lease.
