Cost rolled into loan

You can avoid two separate payments by adding the cost of Guaranteed Asset Protection into your loan's monthly payment.

Deductible reimbursement

Save money on your deductible after an accident

Although GAP coverage is great for covering vehicle theft or a total loss, it can also help you if your car can still be repaired. Up to $500 of your collision insurance deductible can be covered for each instance for up to 3 years. This can usually cover the initial GAP coverage cost and save on your deductible while you focus on getting your car repaired.

We appreciated how nice Greg was and that he took the time to get us the best rate possible. We would definitely consider Heartland for our future loan needs.
