Does Costco Auto offer gap insurance?

I’m negotiating prices on a new car, and I just learned that I have to have gap insurance if I want to finance through the dealer. The coverage they’re offering seems really expensive—especially compared to what I pay for insurance with Costco. Can I get gap insurance through Costco?

Guaranteed Asset Protection (gap insurance)
from a dealer can be costly, so you’ll be happy to hear that
Costco Auto
does offer gap insurance to policyholders**.
Dealers and lenders often require gap coverage on
car loans
and leases for new vehicles to ensure they’re covered for the full value of the vehicle if it’s declared a total loss.
Keep in mind, though, that just because Costco offers this coverage doesn’t mean you have to get it through them. By comparing
car insurance quotes online
, you may be able to find a cheaper policy that includes gap coverage.
