The credit union made getting a car loan super quick and easy! The interest rate was really low, and they sent me the papers to close. It was my first time and I wasn’t sure what to do – they were really helpful!

When you drive your new or used vehicle off the dealer’s lot it begins to depreciate in value. This could mean that there is a big difference between what you owe on the loan and what your auto insurance will pay in the event of a total loss. In the event of a total loss, GAP insurance helps to pay the difference between the value of your vehicle and what you owe on your loan. It covers up to 130% loan-to-value for a one-time fee of $350. This is available on vehicles, motorcycles, boats, and RVs.

You can add GAP insurance to your Dominion Energy CU car loan at any time; just call us at 800-268-6928.
