Protect Your Purchase

Mechanical Breakdown Coverage

Get Mechanical Breakdown Protection (MBP) to help pay for covered repairs on your car when that unexpected breakdown occurs. For a few dollars a month, you can protect your vehicle and your finances from expenses that could total hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

GAP Advantage

If your vehicle is stolen, accidentally damaged beyond repair, or otherwise declared as a total loss, you are still liable to pay the difference, the “gap” between your insurer’s settlement and your loan balance. GAP Advantage waives the difference between your primary insurance carrier’s settlement and the payoff of your loan, less delinquent payments, late charges, and refundable service warranty contracts and other insurance related charges.

Depreciation Protection Waiver

Insurance companies won’t give back the money you put down on your vehicle if you were to get into an accident and total your vehicle. Depreciation Protection Waiver may be the solution to recoup a portion of the money that you have invested in your vehicle. It provides a benefit in the event of a total loss that equals the difference between the value of the vehicle at the time of coverage enrollment and the loan balance at the time of the total loss.
