GAP Insurance

Your vehicle’s value depreciates quickly – sometimes faster than you can repay the loan. If your vehicle is ever stolen or damaged beyond repair, a GAP policy helps cover the additional out-of-pocket expenses insurance won't cover.

  • Pays your insurance deductible
  • Provides a credit toward your replacement vehicle
  • Covers the difference between what your insurance covers and what is still owed on the loan
  • Cost can be included in your monthly auto loan payment

Ask about a GAP policy when you apply for your auto loan, or contact us for details.

Extended Car Warranty

Our extended car warranty, called Mechanical Breakdown Protection (MBP), picks up where the manufacturer’s warranty ends. 

  • No deductible
  • Covers most out-of-pocket major repairs
  • Nationwide coverage
  • 24-hour emergency roadside assistance
  • Rental car assistance
  • Coverage is transferable when you sell your vehicle

Ask about Mechanical Breakdown Protection when you apply for your auto loan, or contact us for details.

Debt Cancellation

When the unexpected happens – like job loss, death, or a serious injury or illness – paying the bills can become a real burden. Make sure you and your family are protected with a debt cancellation plan from Arizona Financial:

  • Covers your monthly payments or pays off your loan
  • Protects your credit rating during difficult times
  • Provides income during involuntary unemployment
