For dealers specifically, the products will provide additional potential for revenue generation and are the first of several new, innovative GMAC Insurance solutions to become available to all dealerships, regardless of the vehicle brand they sell.



GAP Care Advantage:

GAP Care Advantage acts as a safety net for consumers, protecting them from potential “gap” obligations between the covered amounts owed and the actual cash value of totaled or stolen vehicles.



GAP Care Advantage is available on new and used vehicles, and has a 30-day money back guarantee. Additionally, the payment is included in the monthly vehicle payments.
