You have insurance, but it may not cover your loan balance in the case of a total loss or an unrecoverable theft. We provide GAP which pays, subject to the terms of the program, the difference between the insurance company's settlement and your protected loan balance. This coverage is available for automobiles, trucks and motorcycles.

   

Here's what happens:

You secure a loan. In the first two or three years, depreciation occurs faster than the reduction in the loan balance. If a theft or a total loss occurs, your insurance company will pay only the actual cash value of the collateral. The actual cash value may NOT pay off the balance of your loan. You are left with a GAP, an unpaid balance you still owe to your lender.

Consider this illustration: 

Benefits

  • Low cost coverage
    • Cars and Trucks - $395
    • Motorcycles - $395
  • Covers qualified gap between the primary insurance company’s settlement and the protected loan balance
  • Provides peace of mind
  • Is used in conjunction with current auto insurance coverage

How do I get protection?

Simply ask your Arizona Federal loan consultant during the loan closing process. It's easy, inexpensive and it eliminates the worry you may be left with a gap!

How do I file a claim?

Report the claim to your primary insurance company or agent. If they declare that a total loss or unrecoverable theft has occurred and a gap between the primary insurance company's settlement and the loan balance occurs, report the claim to Arizona Federal, submit a copy of your insurance company's settlement statement and, in case of theft, a copy of the police report to Arizona Federal.
