Payment Protection
Schaumburg Toyota is glad we can offer a way to prepare for the future, even if you can’t predict it! Sound EASY? It is!
Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP)
GAP minimizes - or may eliminate - your financial obligation if your vehicle is declared a total loss before you've made your final payment.
If you're still making payments on your Toyota, GAP can minimize or even eliminate your financial obligation if your vehicle is declared a total loss. A primary auto insurance settlement is generally based on vehicle market value, which could be less than what you still owe on your finance or lease contract.
So who pays the remainder? You do - unless you have Guaranteed Auto Protection.
Schaumburg Toyota’s GAP program is designed to protect you and your family from an unexpected financial burden if your vehicle is declared a total loss from causes such as theft, accident, fire, or flood. GAP will pay the difference (or deficiency) between your vehicle's market value and the balance on your finance or lease contract, including up to $1,000 of your auto insurance deductible (if applicable) in most states.
