What is Guaranteed Asset Protection?

If you are financing your vehicle and that vehicle is a total loss through accident or theft, your insurance cover may not be enough.

For example; if you borrow $20,000 to buy your car and the insurance payout is less than this, you're not only without a vehicle, there is a shortfall that you still owe. Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) will pay that shortfall for you up to $10,000 (plus additional benefits if selected) once your vehicle insurer has accepted your claim.

Example: Assuming a nil deposit and a residual value of 25% of the purchase price

Why Do I Need It?

Because PROTECTA Insurance will meet your obligation to pay any shortfall of up to $10,000 (plus any additional benefits chosen). The above graph illustrates when and how much you could lose without PROTECTA Insurance's Guaranteed Asset Protection. Do you want to be left paying for a vehicle you no longer own?
