  • GAP Insurance

If your vehicle is stolen or damaged and deemed a total loss, you are responsible for paying the difference between what you owe and what the insurance company says your car is worth. For peace of mind, Skyward offers GAP (Guaranteed Auto Protection) Insurance that helps cover that difference and can potentially save you thousands of dollars. Additionally we offer a deductible reimbursement (which pays up to $500, unlimited for 2 years on any car or truck that you are listed as owner on the title and insurer) and $1,000 towards your replacement vehicle if deemed a total loss.
