In the event of an accident where you vehicle is declared a total-loss GAP Coverage will cover the difference between what your auto insurance will pay out and what you owe on your vehicle. Your auto-insurance will typically only pay out what they estimate the vehicle to be worth. Their determined value may be less then what is owed on your loan. GAP coverage will cover this amount. Typically this coverage adds a small amount to your monthly loan payment.

Credit Life/Disability Insurance
There’s no way to predict an injury, illness or unexpected death, but you can take steps along the way to make sure your family is provided for if the unforeseen were to happen. The premium is included in your monthly loan payment. If you have a balance on your loan and become totally disabled due to a covered injury, illness, or in the event of an unexpected death, may help cover your loan. In the event of disability it will help pay your loan until you’re fully recovered. In the event of an unexpected death it may pay off the loan.
