Guaranteed Asset Protection, or gap insurance, covers the difference between the cash value and the amount you still owe on your vehicle. Gap insurance is applicable to vehicles that are financed or leased. 



If you are in an accident driving around Stephenville or a natural disaster damages your vehicle, gap insurance covers the costs between what you owe and what your car is worth. It’s built to cover the in-between space of what your insurance will pay and the cash value of your car. Gap insurance is not coverage for property damage or physical injury. Below we have listed out the kind of coverage Brownwood drivers can get:

Do I Need Gap Protection?

Gap insurance is an optional coverage, and is recommended as a form of protection for your assets and your budget. It is recommended for these reasons: 

  • Your vehicle depreciates in value as soon as you drive off the lot. 
  • Accidents occur all the time and are unpredictable. One can occur the day after your drive out of the lot or months later. 
  • Oftentimes, insurance company’s coverage only goes up to the current worth of your vehicle at the time of the accident. 
  • If your car is totaled or stolen and you still owe more than the current value, gap insurance will protect you and cover the difference. 
  • Gap insurance plans are low cost and relatively easy to purchase in Abilene
