Vehicle Protection and Peace of Mind

Are you financing your vehicle through GFCU?

Then consider purchasing additional vehicle protections that pick up where insurance policies and manufacturer warranties leave off.

Don’t let an unexpected event take the joy out of your new purchase.

Experience peace of mind with GAP, MMP and MVP benefits.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Advantage2

GAP coverage could eliminate or reduce costs that your insurance policy doesn’t cover if your vehicle is totaled due to an accident, fire, or theft. Protection also includes a $2,500 allowance to finance a replacement vehicle.

Major Mechanical Protection (MMP)3

Member Value Protection (MVP)4

MVP coverage gives you a benefit up to $6,000 in depreciation coverage when you return to GFCU to finance a replacement vehicle due to total loss or unrecovered theft.

*APR is Annual Percentage Rate. Rates listed include a discount of 0.35%, which may be applied to New and Used First Time Auto Buyer Loans that are enrolled in automatic payments from a MyAdvantage Checking or MyAdvantage Plus Checking account at time of closing. First Time Auto Buyer Loans have a maximum loan amount of $25,000.

All loans are subject to approval. Rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change.

1Conditions do apply in order for an auto loan to receive the 45-day payment deferral option and not all loans will qualify. Interest will continue to accrue through the deferred payment period. Refinances of existing GFCU auto loans are not eligible for the 90-day first payment deferral or the autopay rate discount. Additionally, a $75 fee will be assessed for any refinance of an existing GFCU auto loan.

Payment Example: For a $15,000 loan for a term of 36 months with a 7.70% APR, the monthly payment will be $467.97.

2Your purchase of GAP Advantage is optional. Whether or not you purchase GAP Advantage will not affect your application for credit or the terms of any existing credit agreement you have with the Credit Union. There are eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions that could prevent you from receiving benefits under GAP Advantage. You should carefully read the contract for a full explanation of the terms.

3Plans are available for most new and used domestic and imported vehicles. Speak to a lending representative for vehicle eligibility criteria and more details.

4Programs and coverages may vary by state/lender. Please refer to the contract for additional terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions. This material is for marketing purposes only. Maximum MVP benefits are not always paid to vehicle purchase price.
