Why Protection Plans Matter

Buying a car is one of the most significant financial decisions many people make. Beyond choosing the right make and model, protecting your investment ensures peace of mind throughout ownership. Service and protection plans safeguard you against unexpected costs, from repairs to total loss scenarios. MotorVero is here to guide you through these options, empowering you with knowledge for smarter decisions.

What is GAP Insurance?

GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) Insurance is a coverage option designed to protect you financially in the event your car is totaled or stolen. When accidents happen, your auto insurance typically pays the current market value of your car, which may be less than the remaining balance on your auto loan. GAP Insurance bridges this gap, ensuring you’re not left paying for a car you no longer own.

  • If you’re leasing a vehicle.
  • If your down payment was less than 10% of the car’s price.
  • If your loan term is 60 months or longer.
  • If your car depreciates quickly or you drive high mileage.

These scenarios increase the likelihood of owing more than the car’s market value at some point, making GAP Insurance a valuable safety net.
