Protect Against a Deficiency Balance

If a vehicle is totaled or stolen, the primary insurance policy will usually cover only the depreciated value of the vehicle. Likely, for loans with a high LTV ratio, the insurance settlement will not cover the vehicle’s entire loan payoff – creating what can be a significant balance or “GAP” – and your member is responsible for paying the difference.
