Is your vehicle protected?
Fort Lee Federal Credit Union is proud to offer products to help protect your transportation investment.
GAP covers your loan.
If your vehicle is stolen, accidentally damaged beyond repair, or otherwise declared a total loss, you are still liable to pay the difference, or the “gap” between your insurer’s settlement and your loan balance. Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) covers the “gap” in cost, so it doesn’t have to come out of your pocket.4

Extended Auto Warranty covers your vehicle.
Ensure your vehicle is covered in the event of a mechanical breakdown. Route 66 Warranty’s Mechanical Breakdown Protection Plan4 are available for both new and pre-owned vehicles, and can be purchased at any time during the life of the vehicle. Several plans are available to meet your needs.
