Your actual savings may vary based on multiple factors, including the vehicle you select, region, dealer, and applicable vehicle-specific manufacturer incentives, which are subject to change. The MSRP is determined by the manufacturer and may not reflect the price at which vehicles are generally sold in the dealer's trade area, as many vehicles are sold below MSRP. Each dealer sets its own pricing.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)

GAP coverage is a way to protect your auto loan. Many times when a car is declared a “total loss” after being stolen or totaled in an accident or natural disaster, you may owe more than your car is worth. GAP coverage helps cancel the difference between the primary insurance settlement and what you might still owe on the loan.

How Does GAP Work?


  • It is available to MCU members for a low fee of $299.
  • The fee can be included when you finance your vehicle for one low monthly payment or purchased separately through a single payment.
  • If there is a difference between what you owe on your loan and the value of your vehicle, GAP may help pay the difference based on the terms of your member agreement.
  • It can be purchased for an existing auto loan for as long as you have the loan.
  • You can cancel GAP within 60 days of original purchase date for a full refund.
  • Any payments on your vehicle loan that are up to 90 days past due at the time of loss are covered (minus any late charges).

Call 212-693-4900 or visit your local branch to find out more about adding GAP to your auto loan today.

Important Disclosures Regarding the Program: (1) This product is optional. GAP is a loan/lease deficiency waiver and is not offered as insurance coverage. Whether or not you purchase GAP will not affect your application for credit or the terms of any existing credit agreement you have with us. (2) We will give you additional information before you are required to pay for the program. This information will include your cost and a copy of the contract, containing the terms and conditions of the program. (3) There are eligibility requirements, conditions, limitations and exclusions that could prevent you from receiving benefits under the program. You should carefully read the GAP Waiver Addendum for a full explanation of the terms and conditions of the program.

This coverage will protect your vehicle after your warranty has expired. Call us at (212) 693-4900 to find out how you can drive with the proper protection against costly repairs!

As part of your auto loan obligation, you are required to maintain physical damage insurance coverage on your vehicle until you pay off the loan. If you fail to provide proof of insurance or fail to maintain insurance coverage for the life of the loan, Municipal Credit Union will purchase a policy for our own protection and pass the cost on to you, the borrower. The cost of this insurance, called Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI), can be much more expensive than if you purchased insurance on your own from an agent.

If you receive a communication from us regarding Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI), it is because you need to submit proof of insurance. Visit myinsuranceinfo.com to submit proof of insurance.

Submit Proof of Insurance

If you have any questions regarding a Collateral Protection notice you received, please call toll free: 1 (800) 998-0762.
