TruStage™ Auto Insurance program is offered by TruStage Insurance Agency, LLC and issued by leading insurance companies. Discounts are not available in all states and discounts vary by state. The insurance offered is not a deposit and is not federally insured. This coverage is not sold or guaranteed by your credit union.

 

Debt Protection

In the event of an emergency, you want a plan for how your expenses will be paid. Fortunately, debt protection plans exist to provide you and your loved ones peace of mind for unpredictable life events. Signing up for the American Heritage Credit Union Debt Protection program means your loan balance may be canceled or your monthly loan payments canceled without penalty or added interest.

Debt Protection is available for multiple types of accounts: closed-end consumer lines of credit, credit cards, closed-end home equity loans, or home equity lines of credit. There are multiple plan options and types of coverage, and you're free to cancel at any time. Contact us today and see if Debt Protection is right for you.

 

Mechanical Breakdown Protection (MBP)

Once your vehicle's manufacturer's warranty ends, you may find yourself without coverage for any defective, expensive-to-fix parts and systems (like your engine or transmission).

Mechanical Breakdown Protection is an extended warranty that protects you in the event of a high-cost repair on a new or used vehicle. While MBP does not cover accidents or routine maintenance, it can provide peace of mind for other unexpected events and can save you from paying for pricey repairs out of pocket.

Choose the tier of coverage to suit your needs, from just the basics to virtually all mechanical, electrical, and electronic components of your vehicle being protected.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)

Whether your vehicle loan is short-term or long-term, there will likely be a time where depreciation will make it so you owe more on your loan than the car's market value. In order to cover the "gap" between that market value and the amount you still owe on your loan, there exists another form of protection.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is a voluntary, non-insurance program offered as protection on your financed vehicle to enhance — not replace — your standard insurance coverage. This protection is often available at the time of signing at a dealership, but can be sold at a much higher premium.

If your vehicle is stolen or totaled in an accident, GAP Advantage will pay the difference between the insurance company settlement and the amount you still owe, up to 125% of the vehicle's market value. In addition:

  • GAP advantage will pay $1,000 toward the purchase of your next vehicle.

  • Includes a $500 deductible assistance per occurrence, including multi-vehicle protection. Maximum number of occurrences no more than 2 in a 12 month period.

  • GAP is designed for all drivers, whether you are financing a new or used vehicle! Automobiles, vans, light trucks, motorcycles, travel trailers, motor homes, golf carts, jet skis, and snowmobiles may be eligible.
