GAP Plus

CAR Loan Protection

GAP Plus

GAP pays the difference between the outstanding balance on your loan and the vehicle’s actual cash value, determined by your auto insurance carrier if your car is totaled. Another feature to GAP Plus is if your vehicle is totaled, you will receive $1,000 towards your next vehicle’s down payment. This feature is available for the life of the loan.

Protect What's Most Important To You

We now offer GAP Plus – what does this mean to you? If you finance a loan through Carpenters Credit Union, you can add our GAP Plus protection for $525. This amount can be added to your loan amount, so no upfront cost to you.

GAP Plus covers your deductible up to $500 per loss, unlimited times per year for three (3) years. This covers any car that is registered to yourself and you must be a Carpenters member. Even if someone else is driving your car and gets into an accident, your GAP Plus protection is still available.*
