How does GAP work?
GAP will waive the difference between what the insurance company paid (ACV-actual cash value) and the loan amount, if the loan amount is higher. For example:
Insurance Settlement
Vehicle ACV $11,000
Deductible $500
Insurance Settlement $10,500
Loan Settlement
Outstanding Loan Balance $15,000
Insurance Settlement $10,500
Loan Balance After Insurance Settlement $4,500
In this example, GAP will pay $4,500 to cover the remaining loan balance deficiency.
