Auto Insurance

When your vehicle is declared a total loss, GAP covers the “gap” between your car’s actual cash value (how much your insurance will pay out) and up to the remaining balance on your loan, depending on the terms of your contract. Here’s an overview of what generally happens when your vehicle is declared a total loss:
  1. Contact your insurance company and start a claim.
  2. Your insurance company will review the vehicle and determine the settlement amount.
  3. The insurance payment is typically sent directly to Summit Credit Union as the lienholder.
  4. The payment will go right to your loan balance.
  5. If applicable, GAP coverage may help cover any remaining loan balance.
Please note: The process can take up to 8 weeks, and you’re responsible for regular loan payments until the balance is fully paid. For more details, check out our . Contact your insurance company first to begin the claims process. Once the claim is started, your insurance company and Summit will work together on next steps. In most cases, your insurance company will send payment directly to Summit Credit Union because we are the lienholder on the vehicle. You’re responsible for the rest of the balance unless you purchased GAP coverage, which may help cover up to the remaining difference, depending on your contract terms. After your loan is paid off, any remaining funds will be deposited into your Summit savings account. The insurance settlement process can take up to 8 weeks, depending on the claim and insurance company. We allow for the proof of auto insurance to be sent either by email, fax, or by mail.
