Total Loss Protection Plan*
It's called "the gap." It's the difference between the actual value of your car and the amount on your auto loan or lease at the time of a total loss. In the first two or three years of ownership, your car may actually be worth less than your your loan payoff.
If your car were a total loss, this "gap" could translate into thousands of dollars that you would still owe after your insurance paid you the actual cash value of your vehicle
