Arch Gap Insurance Policy Sample

 

GAP INSURANCE POLICY SUMMARY OF TERMS

In consideration of the cost shown on the reverse side of this form and subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, the Insurer shall pay the Insured for the deficiency balance remaining due to Loss to the Covered Vehicle. The policy shall serve as excess coverage over the Primary Carrier's policy, and shall be limited to Constructive Total Losses and Unrecovered Theft losses only.

LIMITS OF LIABILITY

The amount we will pay for the Covered Vehicle shall not exceed the lesser of:

A.) The amount shown as the Maximum Limit of Liability on the reverse side of this form; or B.) If the Covered Vehicle is protected by a Primary Carrier; the amount obtained by subtracting the primary insurance settlement including the primary insurance deductible from the Unpaid Net Balance plus the amount of the primary insurance deductible or the amount shown as the Maximum Deductible Buyback on the reverse side of this form, whichever is less: or C.) If the Covered Vehicle is not protected by a Primary Carrier; the amount obtained by subtracting the Actual Cash Value of the Covered Vehicle from the Unpaid Net Balance.

We will not pay for any portion of the Unpaid Net Balance that results from either the original purchase/loan amount, with regard to loans and installment sales contracts, or the total capitalized amount, with regard to leases; including all refundable items such as service contracts, warranties, insurance, or other such items; exceeding the percentage indicated on the reverse side of this form as Purchase/Loan/Lease Limit of a) the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles or b) the then current National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), used car guide’s average retail value.

E. PRIMARY CARRIER: The insurance company that: 1) is used by you to provide physical damage insurance on the Covered Vehicle for Comprehensive and Collision for an amount not less than its retail market value, or 2) provides liability coverage to any person who has caused the Covered Vehicle to incur a Constructive Total Loss, and for which that person is legally liable.

F. CONSTRUCTIVE TOTAL LOSS: A loss where the cost to repair or replace the Covered Vehicle would exceed the Actual Cash Value, as determined by the Primary Carrier or as determined by Us if the Covered Vehicle is not protected by a Primary Carrier.

G. UNRECOVERED THEFT: A Covered Vehicle reported as stolen to both the police and the Primary Carrier, who have made every effort, yet have failed, to find and return the Covered Vehicle. A Covered Vehicle improperly taken or secreted by any person in lawful possession of the Covered Vehicle shall not be deemed for the purposes of this insurance, as an Unrecovered Theft loss.

Car buyers overlook the biggest expense of car ownership: DEPRECIATION

The unavoidable meltdown of equity in their vehicle. Low down payments, long-term auto loans + rapid depreciation = Financial Shock in the event of a total loss or theft when the borrower could owe thousands more to the lender even after the insurance settlement
