Gap Protection

Cars are depreciating faster than people are paying off loans. This means that in the event you are in an accident and your vehicle is totaled you may owe more on your vehicle than the insurance is willing to give you to pay off the loan.

GAP insurance can help protect you in the event that your vehicle is lost, stolen, or totaled. For a one-time cost of only $450, you will be covered for the difference in the market value of your vehicle and what the insurance will give you in the event of a loss.

With the GAP advantage, you automatically get $1,000 to use on the purchase of your next vehicle as long as you finance with Quaker Oats Credit Union within 90 days.

Auto Advantage Deductible Reimbursement Insurance

We're proud to offer our members an Auto Deductible Reimbursement Insurance that will help cover out-of-pocket expenses, such as your insurance deductible, when you have an accident or mishap with your vehicle.

  • Pays up to $500 per loss when a claim is filed and paid with the primary insurance carrier.
  • Loss means an event for which the auto insurance company has approved & paid a claim which exceeds the Covered Auto Deductible for a collision or comprehensive claim.
  • Coverage is effective upon the date of enrollment and will continue for three years.

Not only does this insurance cover deductibles for the vehicle you have a loan on but it will also reimburse you for insurance deductibles that you have to pay on all other vehicles, as long as those vehicles are titled in the same person’s name that is listed on the GAP policy.
Extended Warranty

A vehicle is a huge investment. With all the computer and electronic parts in today’s vehicles, one mechanical repair can often end up costing several thousands of dollars. In order to keep you on the road, we have partnered with Route 66 to offer an extended warranty that comes loaded with benefits that you don’t usually get with a warranty from a dealership. Route 66 warranties are often cheaper than dealership offerings, and there is no deductible. 

Plus, you can choose any certified mechanic you’d like and aren’t forced to take your car into the dealership. Also, the warranty is transferable, which makes your care worth more money at resale.
