Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)
A wrecked car doesn’t have to wreck your finances. Secure your auto loan with GAP—your financial safety net in case of unexpected emergencies or accidents.
What does GAP cover?
New cars depreciate the second they’re driven out of the dealer’s lot. When a vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and not recovered, you could owe more than the vehicle is worth.
GAP can be purchased for new or existing FAIRWINDS loans.
Why do I need GAP?
Protects your car against depreciation.
Covers the “gap” between your car’s cash value and the amount you owe on the loan.
Refundable and nonrefundable options to fit your budget.

Is this protection right for me?
You should get GAP if you think you’ll eventually owe more than your car is worth over time. Here are a few examples of when you may need GAP:
You made a small or no downpayment on your car purchase.
If you have a loan of 60 months or longer.
Your car has high mileage or excessive wear and tear.
Your loan has a high interest rate, taking it longer for you to pay off.
How to file a GAP Claim:
Contact Your Auto Insurance Company — request they email the Insurance Settlement Breakdown and the Vehicle Valuation Report.
Email Documents to FAIRWINDS – send the reports to the FAIRWINDS Insurance Department at [email protected]
Things to know when filing a GAP claim:
Processing Time – Claims take about two weeks to process.
Continue Making Payments – Keep making payments until the claim has been completed and the loan is fully paid off.
